This Endless Moment

~This Endless Moment presents a profoundly simple, Western approach to life that even the most skeptical types would have trouble arguing with. It is written with a direct, matter-of-fact writing style, featuring short chapters and many stories and anecdotes. Readers will appreciate Wayne's quirky sense of humour, as well as his ability to always bring the reader back to the point of self-responsibility and 'owning it'.

~This Endless Moment is great read for those who want to begin a new path but don't have a clue how to begin -- and equally great for those who believe they actually "know it all."
