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.

wonderful!

Eckhart is a very gifted teacher and a speaker. I feel like he is speaking right to the listener and in this question answer format a lot of common questions were taking into account and answered very skillfully. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the book, so much so that I listened to it twice now! I probably will have this on my list for a very long time...since it is a practice after all! I specifically like how he drew on different text from different religions, which shows the inherent oneness of truth across time and region. I feel that his plea to listeners of religions that they are thinking of abandoning or converting from is wonderful, realizing that truth is also found in your birth religion. I definitely feel closer to my goal of being more present and have come away with in valuable tools.

Power of presence...no words

I say no words because I thought of amazing, incredible etc & wasn’t sure if those words were good enough...this books information & practices could change the world...but the commitment & dedication to it has to be daily...your main goal over your career, your family, over everything in life should be to stay present...life situations become easier...5 stars

My all time favorite book and audio book.

I got the audio version of this so I can listen to Eckhart's voice it makes the message so much more meaningful. I have read the original book 15 times, at least. I still learn new things every time. The audio is great while I draw zentangles, makes a perfect meditation.

very inspiring and great read

I read this book during a hard part of my life and many of the teachings assisted in my growth. I read the book twice and listened to it a couple times. I pick something new I didn't read or listen to the times before.

I would recommend this book to anyone, especially those who are going through a rough situation.
