Eckhart Tolle – The Power of Now

If you haven’t heard of Eckhart Tolle, you are in for a treat! Mr. Tolle was voted the most spiritual author in the USA in 2008 by the New York Times. He was also listed in Watkins Review as the most spiritually influential person in the world.

Eckhart Tolle is a total inspiration for anyone that is seeking more positivity, increased levels of happiness, less anxiety, and methods to help all of us live better and with true happiness.

Eckhart spent the majority of his first 29 years depressed, and with little hope or positivity. At the age of 29, he underwent an “inner transformation” and spent years wandering around in a blissful state before becoming a spiritual teacher and acclaimed author.

His two most popular books “The Power of Now”( a New York Times bestseller) and “A New Earth”, sold around 8 million copies combined. He also conducted a series of 10 live webinars with Oprah Winfrey in which 35 million people participated!!

“The Power of Now” was originally published in 1997 and has been translated into 33 different languages including Arabic.

The book was described in one review as “Buddhism mixed with mysticism with a few references to Jesus Christ, a sort of New Age re-working of Zen”.

Whatever your beliefs, “The Power of Now” has been life-changing for many who have read it. It is a spectacular insight into the mind of this truly unique and inspirational man. This is a must-have for life-changing books to read in your 20s.

If you are not a big reader, you can listen to the audiobook on Audible from Amazon or you can watch one of the hundreds of his videos on YouTube.

Russell Brand – Freedom from Our Addictions

Last in our list of life-changing books to read in your 20s was released in October 2017. Russell Brand’s new book “Freedom from our Addictions” is a guide to all kinds of life’s addictions. From a celebrity that has struggled with booze, drugs, fame, sex, and believe it or not an addiction to eBay.

This book had to go on the list because so many people in today’s society are addicted to one thing or another. It can cause many people to run into the wrong job, the wrong person’s arms, or even the wrong life!

We love Brand’s writing style, a rare mix of compassion, humor, and bare-bones honesty. In his book, Russell shares his own wild story and imparts wisdom and advice that he has accumulated over the last 14 years of his recovery.

In the words of Mr. B, “I’m trying to create a territory to have a different conversation about spirituality for people that are humanist or atheist. Or people that are just cynical! The recovery tent is big so STEP INSIDE!
