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.

A heady book

You cannot read this book until you are ready to concentrate. It is very intense and there were times when my head felt like it was bending around something. Sometimes I felt like I was sitting in a advanced physics class and I just couldn't understand. His voice is very slow as well, which can make you sleepy, but I learned if you put it at 1.5x speed, that really helps.

It is very deep concept and there is a lot of value to what he says if you can get through it.

I feel changed

The Power of Now is the most impactful book I've ever read. It's an experience I wish to share with everyone and I'm certain I will read it many times. Eckhart's voice is calm and tremendous. Thoroughly enjoyable on every level.

Everyone should read this book.

If you're struggling with your life and looking to find peace, this book is for you. The philosophy makes so much sense. I wish I had read this earlier in my life. It should be required reading for everyone.

Eckart Tolle's voice was hard to listen to

What made the experience of listening to The Power of Now the most enjoyable?

I loved the content of this book, which was the ONLY thing that made me listen to the whole thing.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the content. It was his voice that was particularly annoying to listen to.

How could the performance have been better?

Someone else (anyone else) could have read the book.
