"The Power of Now taught me that there is no line segment. The point is all there is. The past and the future are illusions. They only exist to the degree we focus our attention on them right now. We create the past and the future by imagining them in the present. But we don’t even exist outside the Now."

What? I feel like I've suddenly been dropped into the Time Cube and people keep telling me how "insightful" and "empowering" it is. Maybe it's just me but I come to Hacker News for intelligent conversation on important issues - usually technical. Feel-good self-important life guides should be filed in a different section. Maybe that's just me, though.


Please flag the post and move on. We don't come to here to read rants about posts either.


Fine line between relevant life tips and some the trash that fills the stupid amount of these books out there.

There have been some really insightful posts from people documenting how they have adjusted there own lives to achieve a good work/life balance.
