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.

Shorter audiobooks are also great for commutes and for doing tasks around the house because you can get lost in a listen without getting left on a cliffhanger. If you're looking for your next listen, we've rounded up some of the best audiobooks under eight hours across different genres.

The power of now is in this audio book

I started listening and then started walking. I walked almost 4 miles. I was present and open. It was awesome. I listened to almost half the book and then called an Uber to get home.

I can't get thru a single chapter

I have been recommended this book many times and I want to love it and will try to find a different reading of it but the bell that goes off every few minutes gives me some of the worst headaches. It is way to loud and I don't see the purpose in it at all.

A wonderful book

A wonderful book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found this book to be relatable and generally worthwhile to get through. I further highly recommend this book.

Useful

I found this book very useful for understanding the meaning of NOW and PRESENT. These two words often appear in new age type books, but I have not truely understood them before. I enjoyed the book because of it’s depth and for the understanding that it brought to me.
