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.

Should consider another narrator.

Great book, almost unlistenable narration. The skill of writing is very different from the skill of reading out loud. So sad he didn’t hire a professional narrator to help with this book.

Amazing Book

This book has been helpful and calming and mind opening. All of the words in this book reveal themselves to me on different ways in different read throughs. It’s all so simple and it has to find you at the right time. Ironically, if the book does not resonate with you now, return when now is the right time.
