Philosophy Made Accessible
1 of 2 found this helpful Normally, if I came across a book such as this one some where, I would not bother to pick it up, much less to purchase it. I would think to myself, "new age drivel." However, I did not simply come across the book some where. I saw snippets of Tolle at a seminar during the last PBS pledge drive. I was so impressed by the little I saw on PBS that I looked for his books at my public library. I actually wanted a book, but my library had the audio book. I was disappointed but checked out the audio book anyway.
From watching a very limited amount of footage of Tolle on PBS, I realized this man had read Philosophy, serious Philosophy, and I felt he knew what he was talking about. Listening to the "Power of Now," I was amazed at how accessible he made the principles of Zen, Taoism, etc., to the average "reader," and I was so happy that I had indeed gotten the audio book instead of a traditional book because his voice and manner truly helped me to grasp what he had to say and to lead me to a meditative posture. This is not to say that the material was difficult. Indeed, the case was the opposite. I read Philosophy at university, and I can assure everyone that Tolle presents profound insights, and I believe truths, to his readers that most people would probably not seek out in original texts on their own.
This book is so powerful in my estimation, that I purchased it, and I ordered his "A New Earth" as well as his "Finehorn Retreat" audio books from my library. Since listening to the "Power of Now" audio book, I have recommended it to absolutely everyone I know and to everyone I meet. "The Power of Now" is one of the most influential books I have ever come across, and I have endeavoured to use Tolle's teachings in my life.
All anyone has is "now." Tolle is correct whence he says that we spend our lives too much in the past and in the future, neither of which has true existance or exists only as thought form. Whilst we do this, we miss our being because we are not present in the "now." Tolle's simply written books make profound thought accessible to all reasonably intelligent, thinking individuals. Perhaps the most basic question to everyday life is "how does one live?" Tolle knows the Truth, and he shares it most graciously. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

Fracas: The Ultimate, Legendary Tuberose & Gardenia Parfum
I had heard a lot about Fracas before I purchased it. It is a classic, a legend in its own time. It is the tuberose and white floral (most notably gardenia) parfum to which all other tuberose parfums are compared. Fracas is sweet, bold, sexy, voluptuous, and iconic. It is a most gorgeous fragrance that I will now never be without. Best saved for special occasions or for those times you want to seduce him. Delicious!
Fragrance: 10/10
Projection: 10/10 first couple of hours
Sillage: 10/10 first couple of hours
Longevity: 7.5/10

Adorable, but Quality Control is Lacking. It Wobbles.
This is one of the cutest little items I have seen in a long time. I bought one on another website. I was disappointed to find that it does not sit flush on a countertop or table. It wobbles. Quality is okay, but just know that it might be a little less than you expect. Still adorable little piece, and I kept mine, but quality control is not the best. I believe this is made in China. Enough said.
