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.

pretty interesting

very well rounded view points drawing from Jesus, Buddha, Niche, Einstein and many of the brightest minds in history to collaborate his idea. While I was initially skeptical at quoting so many different people with contradictory ideologies and believes Eckhart ties there core believes together

Amazing book

This book can change your life immediately. Starting to understand that your suffering comes from unconscious thought patterns and then practicing presence will make dramatic improvements in your life immediately. Highly recommend.

Thoughtfully written…

Honestly, writing a review is not my forte, or desire, however the composition and simplicity of this book compelled me.

When listening to books on spirituality and enlightenment. I find myself at times metaphorically constipated, so the question and answer format of this book really worked for me. I would love to see this more often. Its a refreshing twist. If you are a person who ends up with more questions than answers, I believe you will find it very satisfying. Should you read this book, Yes, Yes & Yes. Enjoy.
