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.

I reread this book regularly…

It helps to keep me grounded in the now-present and mindful. It especially helps me to remember that thoughts are things but I am not my thoughts.

A staple for your ascension process!

The Power of Now is the kind of book that, no matter how many times I read/listen to it, I always learn something new!

It is some foundational stuff, especially for those on a spiritual awakening & ascension path at this time. By really actually putting into PRACTICE what is taught in this book your whole life can & WILL transform. I now feel like I am able to navigate any life difficulty with an unshakable sense of inner peace and I am truly grateful. 🙏

Also: I love Eckhart’s voice! I find it to be very soothing as well as hilarious at times with how I feel he “burns” modern society & its “insanity” while remaining completely deadpan the whole time. Always makes me laugh and helps me not to take society’s “insanity” or my “pain body” so seriously. 😆
