The Power of Now

A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

By: Eckhart Tolle

Narrated by: Eckhart Tolle

Length: 7 hrs and 37 mins

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.

Meditative experience

At the beginning, it was difficult to concentrate on this audiobook. But once I grasped the basic concept of being present, I began to really enjoy the meditative experience of Tolle's narration and use some simple techniques in my daily life. A worthy listen for any student of life.

Beautiful but incomplete

If you are already familiar with the experience of Being, this book will make complete sense. If you are not familiar with the experience, this book is a wonderfully beautiful way of coming to understand what it would be like to live with Being. However, because Elkhart Tolle spontaneously experienced the shift to perception of Being, he makes the assumption that others will be able to do the same just by shifting awareness to the present moment, for example by putting one's attention on one's body or feelings or beauty in Nature. He also assumes that deeply moving experiences, either those we interpret as positive or those interpreted as negative can be used as a gateway to the experience of pure Being. This is, of course, true for some people, but by far not most people.
If you are interested in learning a simple, natural technique to allow the mind to experience the field of Being, find a certified teacher of Transcendental Meditation. He or she will be able to explain why the experience of Being may not come spontaneously, what the benefits of the technique of TM are, and the basic principles of how it works before you decide whether or not you want to learn it. From personal experience I can say that TM can be the difference between this book being an intellectual exercise or, over time becoming a living reality.

words can't express the benefits

good god good god good god good god good god good god good god good what what what is this I seeing

the most important thing you can do is read this

I've listened to it 5 times in the first month. this can change your life if you listen and practice. It takes a few weeks of dedicated practice but if you put the effort you will begin to experience something truly life changing. don't listen to the haters who said his voice was too boring, they probably didn't get the substance of the book in that case, they know not what they do.

Great audio book! Recommend it!

I started reading it as a gift , I wasn't really looking forward to it . But it did help me as a guide in a hard time in my life. It was amazing , great easy hearing book. ;-) should be a MUST READ! Thanks for an amazing experience and for starting me in the path of which main focus is my inner peace And appreciation on the moment .

Excellent

It takes a while to get use to the language but fortunately he repeats it in so many ways. Inspiring to have fresh interpretation to old thinking. " Be transferred by the renewing of your mind". Realizing I'm not my mind is very freeing.

Required Reading

Necessary for forgiveness and a well rounded life. Should be taught in high school. Excellent. Relaxing.

Life changing

This audio book has totally shifted my understanding of the word and my place in it. I listen to it over and over again and get more peace out of it each time

Exceptional

Eckhart's rich delivery and wisdom has the potential to hold you and to allow yourself to hold "you" as you walk through this journey of life. His meanings behind his words are such a guiding force for me.
Thank you, Eckhart Tolle.
