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.

A life-altering book.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking peace, joy and contentment in their life. I have listened to it 3 times now and it has become my new Bible. Not everyone is ready for the content of this book, but when you are, and you're welcome it into your life, your life as you know it will never be the same.

Very Educational!!!!!

I learned so much from this book. I suffer from anxiety and constant panic attacks. So hearing this book has opened my eyes to new ways of dealing with my Anxiety and Panic.

A true game changer

This book has been a True game changer for me And I will be listening to it always.

Great, but also confusing.

Great and interesting book, though it is definitely one that you can’t be multi tasking with if you’re trying to truly understand. Will definitely need to give it a couple more listens to have it all sink in as the terminology used is hard to grasp. Great book nonetheless, would recommend.

great teaching

A wonderful experience. I wasn't immediately captured untill around chapter 3. Chapter 7 was over my head and I'll have to go back and listen again. I really liked the Q & A style between the author and the students. the Q&A answered some of my own thoughts but more importantly allowed me to have an answer for obstacles others may have in their awakening.

I'm very grateful this book was produced. Thank you

Eckhaart Tolle

A must!!!

This has help guide me through the current injustices in the world today!! thank you

This book is the answer to life.

This book contains profound knowledge that forces the attentive listener to shake up their preconceptions of reality and dig deep into their life patterns. This single book is the recipe for shifting the earth into a new platoue of consciousness.

My Bible

Im not a religious person but had to use this heading because I read this every day, just like some people do with the Bible. it is fantastic how, when I just open it at any page for the day it has something relavent for me pertaining to the day. Just one paragraph or sentence can speak volumes to me. it is not a book that you read from cover to cover and certainly not in one sitting.

...and now I've totally confused you (and myself) because I am supposed to be reviewing the audible version I suppose. Yes I have both and yes my review applies equally to both versions only a snippet at one sitting!
Enjoy

This book helped me to discover who I truly am

I had to listen to the book with an open mind I didn't get the bell at first that Chimes after every session or before each session begin but the content was very helpful to my spiritual growth
