Thanks for the list. I have a book called Focussing (in another city). I wonder if its the same book as The Power of Focus.

I have a friend who was very much helped by the Seven Habits. Dale Carnegie was right in 1936 and he's still right. Amazing book. Tolle is very good for reducing anxiety (about the future) and despair (about the past). I'll have to dig out my Alan Watts... it's been a while since I read that -- but I remember agreeing with his perspective.
