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.

this book changed my life

I am very much an atheist, who has struggled with anxiety, social anxiety, and post traumatic stress for around 20 years. it took about 4 or 5 hours with this book, before I started to feel an excitement with life boiling up inside of me. I agree with everyone else, it sounds like platitude at first, but what he is doing is applying the very simple idea of NOW to a 100 different reasons to worry. Eventually, it clicks.

I listened to this book at work, and I experienced 2 or 3 days of being the happiest person you'd ever meet, while training into a very demanding new position. What Eckhart Tolle has given me, is separation from my emotions, feelings, and most of all a good distance from my pain. Becoming a neutral observer of my mind has allowed 20 years of therapy to finally f***ing work. I am no longer a slave to the passions that have destroyed relationships all my life. I am very, very grateful to be alive, and I would recommend this book to literally anyone, of any faith. He references so many different ideas that I have even gained a much deeper appreciation and understanding for religious folks - I realize that we are trying to reach the same place of peace inside of ourselves, and Eckhart lovingly respects that in his work.

Fantastic.

Listening to Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale reminded me to give this another pass. And every time I listen I come away with something new. Placing this into my quarterly rotation.

I can’t believe I waited so long to read this!

This is a truly wonderful gift to the world! I’ve had it in my library for a while and I don’t know why I didn’t read it sooner. It should be required reading! 🥰
