Unfortunately I heard only the tail end of the author's interview on NPR radio and the subject sounded interesting on the surface. I wished I'd have heard the whole thing and saved 20 bucks.

The book is so loaded with generalities it's like you read a horoscope and say to yourself "that is dead on" then notice you looked at the wrong sign. Reading the "correct sign" you say oh, that's dead on too...

I must say, I am extremely impressed with this book. Impressed because I began reading it thinking that it would contain the simple message that we need to stop and smell the roses. I was wrong. "In the Moment" is so much more. Without doing a complete review or synopsys, I will just say that the book has helped me to better understand myself and my place in this world, as well as to better understand many other people in my life. The text goes beyond the simple suggestion that we look beneath the surface (of ourselves and others)and tells us that we are the prouduct of our past celebrations, or lack of them. And it is through the recognition and understanding of this, that we can truly grow. I am buying "In the Moment" for, or recommending it to, everyone I care about in my life.
