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.

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)

this book changed my life!

before I got this book, I thought life was about pleasure and fame and fortune. I tried drugs, sex, money and always ended up frustrated. now that I've listened to this audio again and again and again, I have the keys to true peace and contentment. it's who I am. I'm already a success. everyone already has what they are looking for because of who they are, not what they can gain. don't get me wrong, I'm still playing the game of life and working building my business and learning every day. But I know it's a game. it's like building castles in the sand. it's all going to be washed away, so let's just do it for the challenge and fun. let's find out our gifts and talents and share them with the world. this book is priceless! allot of people think this book doesn't make sense. they just weren't ready for it. for those that don't like his voice, who would you rather hear? someone who is enlightened, or someone who still has an ego? I like hearing Eckhart because his voice is full of that wonderful peaceful energy and you can tell he knows what he is talking about.

Transformational

The material is an eye opener; delivered by Tolle's voice makes it transformational. Highly recommend

life changing

love this book, want to gift to all my family and friends- every human needs to hear this wisdom.

Calming

...but a little sleepy. Excellent information, though.
I understand that it may just be his voice, although his message is true.

very much interesting......

I enjoyed such knowledge.. now I am looking for other interesting self development books... would definitely listen again and again..

essential understanding of self and unified theory

if you're ready this review then there's no reason not to read this book. and if you have any hesitations about reading this book, is it you who is having a hesitation or the ego driven you who is driven by some sort of time-based fear or desire? reading this book is equal to the universe understanding itself a little bit more, not a new arriving, but a realization of what is already there.

my life is altered forever. i have infinitely more

my life is altered forever. i have infinitely more potential than i ever knew. thank you!

more people need to read this

the reader is kind of monotone and I didn't know if id be able to sit through it for almost 8 hours but I'm glad I did because once I started listening I got all types of valuable information. i like that jesus and the bible is referred to because I grew up Christian and he shows that there is some truth in the bible.

Awesome

I often listen when I cannot sleep truly a great book. Every time I listen to it, more resonates with me

Surrender redefined

I am definitely going to listen to this book again and come back to this review, but what I can say now is that I liked it and it inspired me.
