From the Publisher

It''s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 2 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 readers 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.

About the Author

Born in Germany in 1948, spiritual author and teacher Eckhart Tolle also lived in Spain and England before settling in Vancouver, Canada, where he has resided since 1995. Tolle received his education at the Universities of London and Cambridge. Following several sustained periods of depression, at the age of 29 Tolle experienced an enlightenment that dramatically changed the course of his life. His subsequent spiritual teachings have focused on awareness of the present moment, freedom from negativity, and the attainment of inner peace. Tolle does not align himself with any specific religion or tradition. Tolle wrote the New York Times bestseller "The Power of Now," which has been translated into 33 languages, as well as "A New Earth." These two titles are considered to be among the most influential spiritual books in recent times. Tolle has also recorded many audio interviews and a video. Tolle is a public speaker who teaches and travels throughout the world. "A New Earth" was chosen in January 2008 by Oprah Winfrey as a book club selection.

    Never look back 5

    This review is from: POWER OF NOW (Hardcover)

    I wish I could put into words how I feel this book has changed my life, but I can't. Trust me when I say you should pick up this book today and read it. I wasn't able to put it down. The words written in this book really amazed me, words that I wasn't able to explain and words I thought only I knew of. Eckhart Tolle has changed my life. Since reading this book I have become a better person... or, I should say I am able to get to that better person easier. I actually have read this book… read more

    worth a listen 4

    This review is from: Power Of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment (Tape, Reel)

    ... especially for Tolle's thoughts on the manifested/ unmanifested universe. But for a much clearer, and vastly more in depth, analysis I'd recommend the writings of Vernon Howard, especially his book The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power. When I first listened to the PON tapes, I was blown away. I thought Tolle had really discovered something. But when I started tapping into Vernon Howard, I realized that most of what's in the Power of Now is pretty much old news. (He says, a little… read more

    This is a wonderful set of CD's that has a very calming effect on the listener. Now is important not what happened yesterday or what could happen tomorrow. We don't spend enough time in the Now and this set of CD's helps get you there

    I was the stereo typical construction worker, full of attitude and the unhealthy lifestyle...although many changes occured in my life prior to reading this book, it was the next step for me and relayed the right message at the right time, I was searching and although I did not find in this book, it at least made clear what I was searching for and in that I realised the search will always be on....A good read...

    Find the narrow gate that leads to life 5

    13 months ago

    It was very important that this author mentioned how he set-up this book, otherwise, people would be reading it just on the surface (which included alot of religious/spiritual quotes that some people may not relate to) and not see the underlying meaning of what he is trying to convey. All the jargon like pain-bodies, mental noise, surrender, etc are used to illustrate complex ideas in a simplistic way. This book showed me a new way of thinking and also helped me deal with alot of unresolved… read more

    Effective yet .... 4

    This review is from: POWER OF NOW (Hardcover)

    6 years ago

    I found this book to be a greater clarification of spirituality but certain aspects left me puzzled. 1. His writtings try to weave together christian and buddhist ideologies, but buddhist's do not believe in God or the existence of a soul. 2. Does not explain the ramifications or consequences imposed onto the individual when past crimes are punished by society repeatedly. 3. Not as many different scenarios or practical examples to demonstrate how… read more

    If you buy only one book on how to have a happier life, this one should be it. It gives absolutely excellent insights into how to live in the present moment and live with constant joy in your life. This book can be an indispensable staple in making your dreams come true. It certainly changed my life.

    Eckhart Tolle is touted as one of today’s most enlightened teachers for penning two of the most groundbreaking spiritual bestselling books of recent times not to mention for his pioneering A New Earth online class which Tolle is currently teaching to the masses with Oprah. The latter is based on his latest bestselling book A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose which is making every Christian blogger aflutter with dismay and indignation. In my case, I wanted to embrace Tolle’s The… read more

    Very interesting. An open mind is necessary. I don't fully believe all of it but again it raises a lot of questions and gets you thinking. Great conversation piece.
