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.

Life Changing

If you are open to transforming your life, this book will guide you there. The Q&A format of the book provided all the answers to my questions before I even knew what/how to ask.

Read it over 30 times!!!

one of my favorite books. ekhart tolle addresses every point of view you could have ever imagined as he is very thorough with his work. what I like about his work is that it isn't taken from other works and is completely original as his own. if you take this book to heart and spend a lot of time with it it will definitely change your life. it did to mine. I've had so many paradigm shifts from reading this book!

1 STAR REVIEWERS MISSED THE BOAT

Honestly, no aspect of this book deserves 1 star. Those ratings are red herrings. If you think he reads too slow, turn up the playback speed…

IF you really listen, however, this book has so many impactful one-liners you’ll want to regularly rewind to write them down (e.g. “Negativity is a pollutant that only humans produce and the ego desires,” “‘Unconsciousness’ is when you fully identify with the mind,” “It is the quality of your consciousness in the present that governs the future, thus it is the most important,” etc.).

Therefore, I don’t recommend speeding up the playback speed. Listen to this book when you have the time and space to really absorb it.

Like anything, some are clearly not emotionally or physically ready for this book’s contents and will get stuck on frivolous matters. However, for the willing minds, the words from this book will literally heighten your consciences in a single read.

Definitely visit and revisit chapters 5, 6, & 7.

Stay in the now

Even as I’m typing this, I am staying here in the now. There is no fear or anxiety in the present. Those are just projections of your future or past. The now is where eternal bliss is. Thank you Eckhart Tolle

Best reading book for 2022

I loved how he mentioned about Power of Now, Being Present and surrender and non reaction. I would like to implement on myself daily practice. Thank you so much for writing this book. I read and listen at the same time. English is second language for me this way helped me to grasp more. I would recommend anyone who wants to know themselves and their emotions
