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.

Powerful book

The message is very clear and resonant, especially in the first half of the book. Deep listening of the words can lead you into a lasting understanding of what it means to live without time, to be here with the actuality of what is.

There is a fair amount of material in this book that speaks to different aspects of living, and about how portals into the moment are available in any situation.

I’m thankful for this book and hope that others receive its gift as well.

So good, yet so hard to fully understand

I recommend everyone should read this. I will read it over and over. I see the benefits but I have trouble understanding it all. I take issue with God not being something that answers prayers. I’ve had many prayers answered. I know I did not bring that about so how is that explained. God cannot be only within. I will read again to see if I missed or did not understand that correctly
