Product Description
It's no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 2 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, "the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death." Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.
Amazon.com Review
Ekhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice, and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means. Foremost, Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language. More importantly, within a chapter of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different container--more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness.

Tolle packs a lot of information and inspirational ideas into The Power of Now. (Topics include the source of Chi, enlightened relationships, creative use of the mind, impermanence, and the cycle of life.) Thankfully, he's added markers that symbolize "break time." This is when readers should close the book and mull over what they just read. As a result, The Power of Now reads like the highly acclaimed A Course in Miracles--a spiritual guidebook that has the potential to inspire just as many study groups and change just as many lives for the better. --Gail Hudson

Read This Book! (2009-06-27)
One of the all time most influential books ever. Improve your life. Improve the planet. Read this book!


The Prower of Now (2009-06-25)
Prow of Now is one of the best books that I seen, and is added to my collection. Thanks to Amazon I was able to purchase it for myself to keep.


Watch Your Mind and Stop Seeking (2009-06-24)
This audiobook was amazing to listen to. Tolle's mellow voice makes it easy to absorb the spiritual wisdom being conveyed that challenges us to have a deeper self-understanding not based on that which is superficial but rather the unchangeing. Spiritual seekers would do well to read or listen to this book.


Enlightening and provoking! (2009-06-22)
I think it would be inappropriate to say this book "made me think" because the point it to get you to stop thinking so much. It was difficult to get through the beginning of the book (very slow) but once I was into it, I couldn't put it down and I wanted more. I'm now reading "the new earth" by the same author.


In the Here and Now (2009-06-21)
Over the years I have read many books by different authors on spirituality and how to "obtain" enlightenment. This book has left me breathless in it's simplicity, beauty and profound sense of having finally reached understanding of how enlightenment is achieved.

Eckhart Tolle is a gifted teacher, explaining otherwise complex theories in an authorative but easy to understand way. Attaching our lives to past and present is indeed the slip up we all tend to make; sometimes regretting past events and nearly always anticipating future possibilities. Well, this book/man will teach you to accept what is. Focus on what is, in the here and now, and everything else will fall into place. Highly recommended.
