Publisher's summary

To make the journey into The Power of Now you need to leave your analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. Access to the Now is everywhere - in the body, the silence, and the space all around you. These are the keys to enter a state of inner peace. They can be used to bring you into the Now, the present moment, where problems do not exist. It is here you find your joy and are able to embrace your true self. It is here you discover that you are already complete and perfect.

Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle offers simple language in a question and answer format. The words themselves are the signposts to guide you on your journey. There are new discoveries to be made along the way: you are not your mind, you can find your way out of psychological pain, authentic human power is found by surrendering to the Now. When you become fully present and accepting of what is, you open yourself to the transforming experience of The Power of Now.

Life-Changing!

This is the best book I have ever listened to...ever! Tolle has some incredible insights, and he delivers his message in a wonderfully clear, organized and tangible way. I love his modest, clear and honest way of passing information on. I have listened to this book four times in the past month and it will be something I listen to over and over again. Worth every cent! Highly recommended!

FAVORITE/ BEST BOOK OF ALL TIME !!!

among the many thousands of spiritual books, this one proves (to me) to be THE MOST useful, the most simple to apply on a regular basis and so change one's life. There are limitless spiritual practices and techniques, yet becoming centered in the NOW is the only only way to realize every truth, love and wisdom. in Now realization, the elusive goal of Awakening happens naturally, almost automatically. And therefore it can be sustained CONTINUALLY. (Finally! :-)
