Brilliant speech
I read an awesome speech in the newspaper a couple of weekends ago, and I've attached a link to it here. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did. Any thoughts?
Hi Angus, Great speech, very funny and insightful. Thanks for posting the link. I'm reading a book at the moment called A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle, which also points to a similar kind of being 'aware' in life. I'm finding it's really changing the way I see things. You may have heard of it, as it's made it's way into popular culture through Oprah. But don't let that put you off. The ideas raised by that speech and this book are very similar to new 'third wave' types of therapy such as Acceptance and Committment Therapy and Mindfulness ideas in clinical psychology. If you get a chance to read it, let me know what you think.

Hi Sarah, I've just noticed your comment here and have requested the book from our local library. Will let you know what I think of it.
