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.

Change my life

During a time of great suffering a close friend recommended this book to me. My entire life I scoffed at the idea of spirituality and religion. I believed them to be too fantastical to have any place in the real world. Initially I had listened to a bootleg version on YouTube, but found the message contained within changed my perception of life so dramatically, and so vastly I felt compelled to purchase not only the audio book, but also a physical copy as well. I have since moved on to explore Eckart's other spiritual teachings.

A fascinating listen for increased self awareness

eckhart takes some getting used to. The format isn't ideal. It is a great introduction to the spiritual side of meditation. Will listen to again.

Worth the read

Book was great to listen to, which is why I want to read it again as a hardcover. Some of the info was hard to retain due to constant movement, but what was retained had me glued in even more.
