"Set your other books aside for a day or two and read straight through Man and Boy." --USA Today Some situations to avoid when preparing for your all-important, finally-I-am-fully-grown thirtieth birthday: -Having a one-night stand with a colleague from work. -The rash purchase of luxury items you can't afford. -Being left by your wife. -Losing your job. -Suddenly becoming a single parent. If you are coming up on thirty, whatever you do, don't do any of that. It will f*** up your whole day.

“What does the word ‘home’ mean to you? Maybe just the place in which you live . . . or does it have a deeper meaning perhaps?To me ‘home’ was a word I frequently used from a very young age to express a longing for something at a deep level which seemed to be missing, or lost, something indescribable. Tony suggested the open secret message to me more than thirty years ago. There was complete resonance and somehow a knowing that this was what I had always been searching for.What is communicated in this book is a precious gift, in my experience rarely expressed in such purity. It may be sensed as you read the words . . .” Claire Parsons

"Nothing Being Everything" features a powerful collection of dialogues and talks from late 2006 and early 2007 throughout the U.K. and Europe.

Throughout my early life I felt that there was another possibility which, once realised, would transform all and everything. One day that possibility became a reality, and it was simple and ordinary, magnificent and revolutionary. It is the open secret that reveals itself in every part of our lives. But realisation does not emerge through our attempts to change our lives, it comes as a direct rediscovery of who it is that lives. "The Open Secret" is a singular and radical work which speaks of the fundamental liberation that is absolutely beyond effort, path, process or belief.
