This is the first part of Eckhart Tolle’s audio book The Power of Now. His teachings involve forgetting about one’s past and future and dropping the egoic mind, in order to focus in and relish upon the only thing we have, the glorious present. Pretty interesting stuff.

I think that may be the Scientology guy narrating this, but this is an interesting view. Bit scary. Parts 2-10 after the jump.
This is an interesting documentary. Entertaining, however I think a lot of it may be BS.

In the public imagination, a “psychopath” is a violent serial killer or an over-the-top movie villain, as one sometimes might suspect Frank to be. He is highly impulsive and has a callous disregard for the well-being of others that can be disquieting. But he is just as likely to be a next-door neighbor, a doctor, or an actor on TV—essentially no different from anyone else who holds these roles, except that Frank lacks the nagging little voice which so profoundly influences most of our lives.
