Yes!! I am reading it! Personally, I think it's good. I have learned some things, even if I already knew the stuff the way he words things and explains it I think it just enforces it even more for me. I never tried practicing living in the now until I read this book. Now I try and do it every day.
I'm not gay. Just happy. =p

i read it. i think it has some good things to teach, especially when it comes to thoughts, emotions, and the present moment. the spiritual side of it would depend on your spiritual beliefs. i don't believe in any god but i don't think you need to to still get a lot out of the book. if you do believe in some god or have similar religious/spiritual beliefs you could probably get more out of the book. but even from my standpoint, i've found it useful in disengaging from my thoughts and worries and emotions and being able to live in the present instead of the past or future.
btw, i originally read his first book - the Power of Now - soon after it came out and found that more helpful for me personally. but that may just be because i read that first and already knew the concepts before reading a New Earth.
