In Bordeaux, France, for a presentation of her latest book, Premier Sang, renowned Belgian author (and Parisian resident), Amélie Nothomb, speaks glowingly of Prem Rawat's new book, Hear Yourself: How to Find Peace in a Noisy World. A prolific author since the publication of her first novel Hygiene and the Assassin in 1992, at the age of 26, Ms. Nothomb has published a total of 32 books. Most recently, Ms. Nothcomb received the famous Renaudot Book award for her 32nd book, "Premier Sang," published by Albin Michel.

NOTE: Ms. Nothcomb is not a student of Prem's -- just someone who encountered his book and was very moved by it.
