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.

Please read this. Pass it on. If this were required reading for all humans, the world would be a predominantly peaceful place. This book is pure love.

A couple things

Can someone please turn down the volume of the “diiiiiiing” sound. Or better yet, just get rid of it. It causes me agitation.

Second, he’s a bit vague and generic. But it’s overall good if you already study the psyche or psychology classics.

His voice is cool tho.

My Power is Now!

I've seen Eckhart interviewed by Oprah and partner with her many times. I saw the reviews on Audible and had to make it my 1st Audiobook. The Power of Now has absolutely changed my life. I am empowered by each chapter and I will use his principles every day, for life! Enjoy!!!

Great Listen

A lot of good knowledge and mental tools to take away from this book. But my god those damn ringing bells at the beginning of each chapter made my brain vibrate.

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.
