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.

Critic reviews

"One of the best books to come along in years. Every sentence rings with truth and power." (Deepak Chopra)
"A reminder to be truly present in our own lives and liberated from our past and future. It can transform your thinking." (O: The Oprah Magazine)

a very accurate guide to finding the now

these books shows many ways we find ourselves away from the now, and how to get back to the now moment

helps focus and alleviate

we get wrapped up in our daily, as a Marine Combat vet, I've always felt a lost piece of myself after coming back from war. this has helped on many different levels accept what today is.

Perfect

This book finds you when you are ready. When it hurts and you have had enough of the hurt. It's Now..

Deep Wisdom... And yet

This is my 55th book during these past 3 years... And the contents are that of wisdom.

The format is a good one, and the performers as well.

Eckhart touches on many of the books i have read, and so i deeply, intuitively feel that i understand all of what he is saying...

But it lacks a certain something...

For those seeking a vantage point for spiritual endeavors, and/or a deeply satisfying experience through Intuition, i recommend this book.

Brilliant

Eckhart Tolle clearly explains our essential reality, with a calm voice and gentle chimes that serve to bring me back to the present, the now. This audiobook has helped me achieve a new level of mindfulness and calm, and for that, I am deeply grateful.

Spirituality without God.

accurately explained the sources of pain and joy in my own life. I didn't know, until eckart laid it all out in front of me.

Amazing book

I had some really deep realisations with this reading. Highly recommend this book to anyone in all sorts of life conditions. Its reading should be one of open-mindness and experimentation of the theories the author talks about. See what works for you and use them. Whatever doesn't work, just ignore that for now and move on.

Life changing

As soon as I finished I went back to the beginning to listen again. Even though this book talks about you not being your mind, I feel like the past few weeks have been the most mindful ones that I've ever had. I actually felt more present, which has been making all the difference. I recommend this to everyone, though only those who are ready and open enough will really benefit.

Powerful content!

The message in this book is eye opening. At a time in my life where I could easily slip into self blame, blame others this book keeps it all in perspective and also provides guidance on ways to look at challenges in life. Past failures .... future successes can not define you or you will never find peace within. I’ve re-read the book 3 times since Jan and pick up on new constructive insights every time.

Soul soothing.

I felt so much lessening of my depression and anxiety throughout this book. Eckhart Tolle has a way of writing and speaking that soothes my soul. His insights into the present moment, the nature of reality, and the way we perceive our worlds has been eye opening to me and even life changing. He gives me hope that life can be improved by simply changing the way I view it. This is something everyone should read.
