Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
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 symbolise "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 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't worry. Be Happy., 21 Mar 2009
This review is from: The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment (Paperback)
Is how the first 60-70 pages of this book can be summed up. Not bad advice, just a bit perplexing that he takes so many words to say it, and that so many millions apparently consider this a revelation.

It's difficult to be entirely negative about a book that appears to have positively affected so many lives, so I've tried very hard to keep an open mind... but all I can manage is a sort of head-scratching sense of bewilderment - what is all the fuss about?

I agree with the sentiments of the beginning of the book entirely (although I'm sure the total believers will say that, if I don't feel 'transformed' then I can't have understood it properly) - and in fact have often found myself saying similar things to people who have a general life-malaise or sense of depression not linked to a particular problem that they can take action to try to fix: life is short, and you don't want to get to your old age and look back on a life of unhappiness. So try to find pleasure and happiness in every moment that you can now; take action to create the life that you want now, learn from the past but don't obsess, and accept the things you cannot change and move on.

The above is all very good advice - I just don't see that it is all that earth shattering.

By about page 80 or 90, I realised that this is just another book about A Course in Miracles (ACIM). For ACIM to be a useful philosophy to you, you have to believe in an eternal consciousness/God of which you are part. The vast majority of Americans do, which is probably why this book is so popular. If you don't however, then the book is just going to become a disappointing mish mash of new age gobbledegook that doesn't really answer anything satisfactorily. And I haven't even touched upon the inconsistencies littered throughout.

On the other hand, the fact remains that many many people found this very helpful, a revelation in fact. For which I can only conclude, if it helps you, do it.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing clarity , 28 Jan 2008
By Janie "Jane O'Neill" (Brighton, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment (Paperback)
This is possibly the most powerful and insightful book on spirituality ever written. The most amazing thing about it is its clarity - its account of the workings of the human minds is truly stunning. Like no other book I've read, it has an enlightening effect as you read it - you can feel the clarity and insight spreading to you. It has led me on to another amazing book called the Fall by Steve Taylor, which is highly recommended by Eckhart on his website. The Fall provides a historical and cultural context to Eckhart's work, showing the ego's terrible effects throughout history and suggesting that, as a species, we are now transcending it. The Fall:the Insanity of the Ego in Human History and the Dawning of a New Era: The Insanity of the Ego in Human History and the Dawning of a New Era

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I have ever read, 10 Sep 2001
By Angela Elliott (West Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment (Paperback)
When I read Eckhart Tolle's account of his spiritual awakening in Cygnus books magazine, I immediately understood what he was saying, having experienced similar enlightenment following the sudden death of my husband, three years ago. Going on to read the book, I was not disappointed. It is absolutely brilliant, I can identify with everything he says from firsthand experience, but do not share his gift for being able to share the information in such an articulate manner. Discovering this book at this time was no accident, as these things never are. As a Reiki Master/Teacher, I have read much, attended courses and listened to many people, only to have come full circle back to the very simple truth that is our spiritual reality and the power of now. If you read only one more book in your life, make it this one. Its simple truth is all you need to access Being - being the strength of all that is, was and ever will be.
