I believe this to be one of the most important spiritual books of our times. It's been receiving a lot of buzz since Oprah has included it in her book club and is now providing a series of 10 free webinars with Eckhart. If you have even the remotest interest in spirituality, no matter what your religious background, this book is a must read. Even hard-core atheists I think would be able to see the logic, simplicity and wisdom here. This and his other book 'The Power of Now' have had a great, positive impact on how I live my life. Eckhart I believe has distilled and presented the core, important truth of all spiritual teaching in a very accessible and easy to understand form.
