Some people refuse to read books. They prefer looking at pictures. When I ask them how they learn to master difficult topics, they tell me they don’t. If they think that reading books is difficult, they should try reading people. This is genuinely difficult because the pages of the mind change really quickly, if you get my drift. —RLN
Over the course of his career, I have published nearly 60 books. Yet I am only getting started. Currently I have about 15 books in book stores around the world including Barnes & Noble. Take a look.

Imagine that you are in this forest looking up at the stars. It is a really brilliant sky isn’t it? The satisfaction you are able to get from this experience depends upon your authentic sense of self and your depth of connection with the wonder of it all. Some people tell me joyfully that they feel the same way and profoundly lose themselves in such experiences. Other people tell me impatiently that I am nuts because it is such a terrible place with little to no beauty at all. Who do you think is correct? What does this tell you about yourself? Everything teaches us something about ourselves if we are open to such instruction. The Cosmos is a great coach. —RLN
