Ask HN: Similar Book to Power of Now / Tolle?
12 points by hnapps 3000 days ago
When I read the Power of Now 10 years ago, it helped free me from a monotonous cycle of work sleep work sleep work sleep.

It helped bring peace, mindfulness and presence to my life.

I am starting to feel the monotony of life again and want more presence, mindfulness, and help to smell the roses..

For other fans of this book, can you recommend some similar books for me?

Thank you,

Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz
Have you tried reading it again?
I'd suggest Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life by Thich Nhat Hanh
raptitude.com is a great source of articles to remind you of the things that were compelling to you at any point about mindfulness and/or meditation. I also recommend the spin off http://campcalm.com if you're interested in meditation in particular.

If you're after books specifically, "Wherever you go, there you are" by Jon Kabat-Zinn is also good.

Check out Rupert Spira. He's a bit more hardcore than Tolle but in the same genre (nonduality). He's also got some good videos on YouTube.
Interesting - hardcore in what sense?
