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.

An essential perspective on life

For anybody who’s struggled with suffering in their life, this book is worth a read/ listen. Whether or not you can grasp or accept everything Tolle says, there are undoubtedly pieces of cutting wisdom and insight. I read this book first a few months ago, and it took me a long time to “digest” some of the concepts. Upon listening to the audio version, I realized that somehow many of the topics made more sense to me than they did during my first read. Approach this book with an open mind and know that a lot of its content won’t make sense the first time, or even the second time. Regardless, there’s so much wisdom here. Very thankful for this book.

Inspiring

I wish I had read this book long time ago.
I wish Tolle’s teachings are taught in school.

Very inspiring book. Not sure if one time is enough! I know I’m going to re-read several times

A lifestyle and thought change

A lifestyle and thought change to the habitual ways in which we appoint our every day, how we or I can divide thoughts in negative and positive vs observing them and not attaching an emotional judgement. Much to learn and a new lifestyle of peace to gain!

Second time listening, life changing

So many principles to learn and process, I just finished listening for the second time, this time taking notes and reflecting on them. Absolutely life changing book. I imagine it won’t be my last time listening.

Accessing the “Now”

The discussion of accessing the “now” was so descriptive yet straight to the point at the same time. Phenomenal read, for some one who struggles with Overthinking this has changed my perspective completely
