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.

essential understanding of self and unified theory

if you're ready this review then there's no reason not to read this book. and if you have any hesitations about reading this book, is it you who is having a hesitation or the ego driven you who is driven by some sort of time-based fear or desire? reading this book is equal to the universe understanding itself a little bit more, not a new arriving, but a realization of what is already there.

more people need to read this

the reader is kind of monotone and I didn't know if id be able to sit through it for almost 8 hours but I'm glad I did because once I started listening I got all types of valuable information. i like that jesus and the bible is referred to because I grew up Christian and he shows that there is some truth in the bible.

Amazing wisdom

Excellent classic with loads of amazing wisdom. Each time I listened, my mind was blown away with how direct it was. I’ve gained a lot from this book, best credit I’ve used on this app so far. Will be purchasing the hard copy. I did give the performance a 4 star ONLY because it is a “sleeper”. The narrator can easily put you to sleep.

Eye-opening insight to understanding our true self

Eckhart Tolle an unlikely spiritual teacher. his ability to connect I'm a level that other teachers can't. though he is not the only wonderful spiritual guide or teacher. he is definitely someone who can help open your ability to look within.
