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.

Great Read!!!

I really enjoyed this book, it’s helped me to understand some things from past experiences and behavior, patterns etc... At this period in life where I am self reflecting and healing this book serves as a guide to being aware and staying present... Reading again!

Very Powerful

I loved the narrator’s voice, it’s so soothing. The knowledge this book provided me, found myself thinking about it, even when I’m not listening to it. I’m going to listen to it again it was so amazing.

Perfect book at the perfect time

I was recommended this book from someone who picked it up years ago but admitted they were not ready for it at the time. You truly have to be ready for this kind of information. I’ve seen complaints about the voice/reading, but I’m into calming sounds,visuals, etc. So I enjoyed it. It is the kind of audio. It is sort of like a 4-5 hour long meditation.

This is "The Way" ;)

Excellent book. I really enjoy how Eckhart structured the book with some "Challenge questions" and response sections. Very insightful in the honestly good challenges to becoming Enlightened. I also found some previously undetected "internal resistances" in my mind with this books guidance. I recommend this especially for those already on the path. Some good deep dives on specific possible "blind spots".
