I would recommend reading A New Earth first @LeeHawk I will post a link to a YouTube vid I watched yesterday too that I thought was great. His teachings come across quite complex at first and can be hard to follow/understand, but keep going and you will have a beautiful awakening and it’s so enlightening and helps to heal the soul (in my experience). 
Edit: I’ll post it on the Eckhart Tolle thread so not to derail this one too much.

I am a first time newbie writer. I started it after I got sober. It’s a work in progress. 3 chapters done. If any of you could please read it and offer criticism/suggestions/comments it would mean the world to me. Please read my first attempt at being a writer. It’s an action adventure fantasy:

WARNING : A bit of the content is quite violent and gory. It’s an action adventure fantasy and the violence just fits in. Please skip those parts of that kind of thing upsets you.
A lot of the recent ones here are self help, which I don’t usually read so much. My favorite book of recent reads was Priestdaddy, Patricia Lockwood. Like many great memoirs, you can sort of read life lessons in it, but it’s very deeply grounded in a very particular story, not at all making that rhetorical gesture of Everybody must do this. It’s very funny and very unusual even on the level of the sentence, so many fantastic phrases and observations. I loved that it’s a story that could be told with bitterness or rage: look at what it’s like to grow up with this almost-insane religious right wing background, see how I never got to go to college, look at the mania and the narcissism and the lies, etc. — but instead,that story is secondary to how funny it all is, and she finds beautiful points of connection with her misogynistic fantasist father and her anxious mother, and the vast gap of world views isn’t where she focuses. It’s inspiring as well as laugh out loud funny, and the laughs feel inspiring too. I’m definitely going to reread it, and get her new novel.

How true! I mostly stick to what I know though.

To be honest, though I loved Screaming Trees, Mark’s memoir is of a self important, narcissist douchebag.
I do not agree with the general reviews that it is amazing. It is not.
If he’s a self-important, narcissist douchebag chances are he wrote his own review.
Don’t mind me though, just thinking out loud.

It was a Sunday Times best-seller and gushed over by most music rags and reviewers (in the scene and out).
It’s rawness likely proved engaging for some, and for others maybe reading of a trainwreck life was fascinating from a distance.
Though a narcissist douchebag, Mark is far too uncaring of others’ opinions to have written his own reviews, or attempted to influence others to write positive ones for him.
