Book Review: Realization of Ego: Who knew?
Summary: 5 Stars
I am compelled to recommend this book which deals with lessons concerning EGO: how to diminish it and have more positive personal, family, parental and even professional relationships, no matter who is on the other side of that relationship: friend or foe.
Most revolutionary to me is that Tolle explains how to be a thinker who doesn't focus on the ME in life. He advises how to unleash the need of control in personal situations as well as how to diminish and eventually release personal resentment. It's a really profound read and one that I believe I will reread once I have finished so that I more fully realize the messages. It definitely has quotable sentiments and needs to be highlighted for future reference! Lots of "Aha!" moments!
Tolle does a fabulous job of revealing how we, as people, can change our perceptions of each other and our situations by recognizing our own struggles with ego and how to acknowledge the way we feel and think about all things. I also appreciate that he doesn't take one spiritual opinion on life but chooses to appreciate and hone in on lessons from many spiritual historians, including the Bible.
I've had a rough year at work and even some personal and spiritual conflicts in 2010. I truly believe that this book will help me to unleash a more readily positive ME, without worrying about what place I hold in every situation or how I'm going to change the world (I do think that I can change the world though and try to do soem small thing, a little each day. Darn ego!)
If you are one who is open to a spiritual realization of purpose, this is an uplifting read. If you don't have difficulty with your own EGO, my hat goes off to you because you are certainly a rarity. It may just give you a better realization of the positive person you are!
Amazon has used copies starting at $.95. What do you have to lose other than feelings of negativity, resentment, and hopelessness in those small places in your life. Sounds like a win/win to me! It's an enlightening read, to say the least!
