Silly Enlightenment: Hiding in Your Everyday Life
There’s a misguided belief out there that one can only obtain enlightenment by shaving your head, cancelling your Netflix account, and meditating cross-legged for 18 hours a day. What would happen if “Enlightenment” itself became fed up with these restrictive misconceptions about spiritual fulfillment and decided to take a material form so he/she/it could directly consult an expert on human behavior.
Well, that’s exactly what happens in Tom Newnam’s new book – Silly Enlightenment. It’s a story that begins in a psychiatrist’s office but soon bounces between bowling alleys, psychic readers, karaoke bars and an unpleasantly-scented pool hall before ending up in a courtroom drama regarding accusations of toxic flatulence. The point, it seems, is that laughter (or even a mild chuckle) might crack open a door that leads to… you guessed it! Read it and find out!

Try Softer: How to recover your natural state of happiness and clarity of purpose
Tom Newnam’s follow-up book to Memo From Your Soul has just been published by Bluewater Press. A refreshing departure from more typical self-help book, Try Softer is as entertaining as it is enlightening. This book inspires you to recover the soulful dreams and desires originally born into your heart. Almost like a spiritual massage, the book gently offers ways for you to slow yourself down, relax, and release the painful blocks keeping you from experiencing true intimacy with life.
Through his deep experience as a family counselor, therapist, husband, parent and grandparent, Thomas Newnam’s TRY SOFTER offers us a clear, compassionate, and practical guide to a revelation in consciousness: trying softer rather than harder uncovers the heart’s innate treasure of wisdom, intuitive intelligence, and unconditional love of self and others. Soften, and let this book’s tenderness flow into your heart.
