Ekhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice, and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means. Foremost, Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language. More importantly, within a chapter of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different container--more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness. Tolle packs a lot of information and inspirational ideas into The Power of Now. (Topics include the source of Chi, enlightened relationships, creative use of the mind, impermanence, and the cycle of life.) Thankfully, he's added markers that symbolize "break time." This is when readers should close the book and mull over what they just read. As a result, The Power of Now reads like the highly acclaimed A Course in Miracles--a spiritual guidebook that has the potential to inspire just as many study groups and change just as many lives for the better. --Gail Hudson
Product Description
Eckhart Tolle has emerged as one of today's most inspiring teachers. In The Power of Now, already a worldwide bestseller, the author describes his transition from despair to self-realization soon after his 29th birthday. Tolle took another ten years to understand this transformation, during which time he evolved a philosophy that has parallels in Buddhism, relaxation techniques, and meditation theory but is also eminently practical. In The Power of Now he shows readers how to recognize themselves as the creators of their own pain, and how to have a pain-free existence by living fully in the present. Accessing the deepest self, the true self, can be learned, he says, by freeing ourselves from the conflicting, unreasonable demands of the mind and living "present, fully, and intensely, in the Now."

 The Power of NOW August 17, 2008
After I had read the book I thought I understood it. However, a week later I kept thinking about it and got somewhat confused so I read it again. Now my wife is reading it. It really made me think about the wisdom of God.
Begin Your Now Experience August 16, 2008
Tolle does make you stop, really stop the take in the NOW moment. This indepth book awakes you to life interrupted by life. It makes you self aware of why it is important to be current in you life and things, people, and places around you by taking the time to realize you life is happening whether you want to be aware of it or not!
From J. Kaye's Book Blog August 14, 2008
If you have heard of Zen, Vipassana, Mindfulness, or Gospels of John and Thomas, you will really appreciate Eckhart Tolle's, The Power of Now. Tolle promotes living in the Now and his book in its question and answer format seeks to explain how. The Power of Now is not a religion, but a spiritual practice which is `hidden' in the major religions. Eckhart points out where the practice can be found in the Bible and in Buddha's teachings. For some, this book provides the `link' between the Christ and the Buddha.
For those looking for a simple practice, he has several methods which shows immediate results. Great book for those who are seeking.
