This book is disturbing on so many levels! I find it to be heretical and contradictory. I doubt my opinion will change as I continue reading because it leaves me completely frustrated every time I pick it up. The one redeeming thing is that reading it has forced me to search biblical references to dispute Tolle's claims. But, there are far better books that strengthen faith and provide guidance. If you are looking for life's purpose, please don't look for it in this book.
