Publisher's summary

Celebrating 25 Years as a New York Times Bestseller — Over 16 Million Copies Sold

It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces listeners to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, “the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.” Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.

The a simple and at times for me not so simple life changing concept

I like ti thank the author who written and read this in his unique way. It works for me and I got it. This is a book you stop and play again to get all the juices nuggets of knowledge and better understand of self. It was the perfect book for me on my spiritual journey. Likewise, just my life on general. I’ll will be listening to this book several times.

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!

Life Changer

I was so grateful to be able to listen to him till his book, his voice is so relaxing

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

Tolle

life changing

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
