Tolle’s A New Earth discussed on Oprah

Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now has another book out: A New Earth: Awakening to Your LIfe’s Purpose. Since I haven’t finished it yet (it’s deep and cannot be read in one or two sittings! ;-) ), I’ll save the review for another time.

I did want to write that the U.S. TV-icon, Oprah, has put together a 10-week series to discuss the book and its ideas (free registration required). From what I can tell, it looks to be one of the best uses of live broadcasting on the Internet that I know of. Film at eleven. :-D

The “Perfect Nap?” Wow!

I wrote some time ago that taking a nap might be the best way to get refreshed during the day. Now the folks at lifehack.org write about how to do it right.

It seems that you want to aim for the end of your REM stage to wake up, before the deep sleep kicks in. Apparently, if you get the timing right, you can get it down to as little 15 minutes to get the most benefit. Check out the post and try it for yourself.
