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.

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.

Love Eckhart

I like it so much I would like to be able to get a "new earth "how do I do that on here?

My favorite book now!

I love this book! It answered every question I have every had (as far as how to heal). The analogies and concepts he had on how your thoughts feelings and conscious were separate was fascinating. Once you separate yourself fo m your thoughts and detach from your feelings, you can be in the now. Acknowledge them but be in the now. If you are have trouble with your relationships and spiritual concepts such as feminine and masculine energy. This book is a must! I am going to actually buy the book just to have because it is a must have!

LIFE REALIZING
