What is Tolle telling readers that they seem so eager to hear? His Zen-like message, reminiscent of that of hippie guru Ram Dass, is that happiness is achieved by living in the present: "In the Now, in the absence of time, all your problems dissolve."

Of course, Meg Ryan loved it, and Cher says it changed her life. Hooray for Hollywood. --By Andrea Sachs
...GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN. The Mather House Drama Society presents Clark Gesner’s short musical based on the characters from Charles Schultz’s timeless comic strip “Peanuts.” Loudmouth Lucy , her blanket-loving brother Linus, Beethoven guru Schroeder, the perpetually wishy-washy Charlie Brown, his precoscious sister Sally and of course Snoopy, a somewhat delusionary dog, traipse through a series of skits and interspersed musical numbers that address love, food, music, bad grades and everything else that life brings along. Thursday, April 17 through Saturday, April...

...engines. To publicize her sixth book, The Laws of Money, the Lessons of Life (Free Press), Suze Orman is going on a 21-city bus tour, a tactic more suited to a rock star than a personal-finance guru. Why not? Orman, the popular TV commentator and O magazine columnist, is a superstar in her own right. But is her advice solid? In her new book, she gives helpful guidance for those who have been bruised by the rocky economy, which is to say everyone. Her five laws (e.g., Look at What You Have, Not at What You Had), written...
HAROLD BLOOM. This guru of literary theory and Sterling Professor of the Humanities and English at Yale University will make an appearance in Cambridge to speak about his new book Hamlet: Poem Unlimited. Having already produced a New York Times bestseller about Shakespeare, Bloom’s new book promises a closer analysis of the character we all love and know (for at least 25 lines or so) by heart. Thursday, March 20 at 6 p.m. Tickets available free of charge at the Harvard Book Store information desk. Sackler Museum, 485 Broadway...
