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.

Read the book in the past, but this time listening it hit home. loved it!

very inspiring and great read

I read this book during a hard part of my life and many of the teachings assisted in my growth. I read the book twice and listened to it a couple times. I pick something new I didn't read or listen to the times before.

I would recommend this book to anyone, especially those who are going through a rough situation.

very inspirational. just what I needed. thank you

This book takes concentration. I will listen to it again. well worth my time! Keep your mind and heart open and it will help you immensely!! carpe diem!!

a must read

Among the Most Powerful

Books I’ve ever read. I first read “Power of Now” in 2009. At that time I felt like I knew it all and so what I was able to draw from this masterpiece was limited to say the least.

Now, nearly a decade later, I’ve learned that I know nothing. This book is beautiful in the truest sense of the word. I wish everyone could read and absorb every morsel within it.

I am grateful beyond words to Master Tolle for this work—this gift. I highly recommend it.

Enlightening!!

This book was exactly what I was searching for. Understanding the conscious mind & time. Living in the now, letting go of my past but never worrying about the future will release my aniexty & pain. If you are interested in reading this book, you have to have a open mind & be ready to except or change what you may believe today....

A huge awakening

Loved how this book was interactive and had frequent questions answered by the author. This book has definitely opened my mind to possibilities and practices. A+ for my first audio book!

Life changing

Would you listen to The Power of Now again? Why?

Yes and I have many many times!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Power of Now?

Acknowledging and understanding that unawareness = unconsciousness!

Which scene was your favorite?

This does not apply.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The part about relationships and what happens when one achieves enlightenment and the other in the relationship does not or cannot come close. Very moving and powerful stuff here. I will always re-read this.

Any additional comments?

Tolle's voice does take some getting used to. But I found him to be very calming. I listen to this audiobook often when I am struggling.

Perfect set up

I loved it I loved that it had people asking questions knot doubting stuff he would say it felt like that was stuff I would say and doubt my self, instead of avoiding or leaving us with the wonder or questioning stuff he answers it for us right here. He don’t run from any question I have 0 questions or doubts after listening to this

so nice I'll listen twice

This book was exactly what I needed. I couldn't get through it fast enough I just wanted to keep going. I had a few other books I wanted to read but I'm listening to this a second time now and it's still just as good as the first. I'd recommend this to anyone trying to rid their lives of stress, anxiety and really put life into perspective.
