Publisher's summary

Celebrating 25 Years as a New York Times Bestseller — Over 16 Million Copies Sold

It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 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 listeners 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.

Great content!

The author is a bit monotone but it almost increases the enjoyment in my opinion. Amazing content to meditate on.

Living in the now

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The book contains a powerful message that delves into the negative tendencies that humans have to live in the past and hope for the future without enjoying the NOW. It speaks to the truths of living presently and enjoying life as it is, as life is a miracle.

Any additional comments?

The author narrates his own book and his voice is super creepy, so beware.

Insightful

This was a great narrative. Seems honest and straight forward. Spirituality is complex and personal. This book simplifies for the reader.
