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 an alternate Paperback edition.

Review

'THE POWER OF NOW can transform your thinking. The result? More joy, right now.' -- Oprah Winfrey 'Pointing to the portals of the eternal Present, this practical mystic's modern gospel offers transcendent truths that set us free.' -- Dan Millman 'In the self-help heaven that is the US, Eckhart Tolle is fast becoming the next Deepak Chopra. His book, THE POWER OF NOW, is the bible du jour - a must-read for anyone looking for a modern take on spirituality...Essential reading for anyone who might be feeling weighed down by the past or fearful of the future'. -- Red 'This book is generating quite a buzz of excitement. It is quite simply one of the clearest and most accessible texts on becoming more present that we have seen.' -- Kindred Spirit 'Reading this book has taught me to witness my actions from several viewpoints. I have read it many times over and I get more from it each time I dip in. I try to read a few pages each morning and carry those words with me throughout the day. I've recommended it to lots of friends, who have also found it helpful.' -- Belinda Carlisle 'One of the best books to come along in years. Every sentence rings with truth and power'. -- Deepak Chopra --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing clarity , 28 Jan 2008
By Janie "Jane O'Neill" (Brighton, England) - See all my reviews
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 Waking From Sleep by Steve Taylor, which is recommended by Eckhart as 'one of the best books on spiritual awakening I have ever read. An important contribution to the global shift in consciousness.' Waking from Sleep: Why Awakening Experiences Occur and How to Make Them Permanent

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is the answer you have been looking for!, 23 Jan 2002
By A. J. Bray "Adrian Bray" (lowestoft, suffolk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have read many self-help books in my life, but not one has ever had the same impact on my life as the 'The Power of Now'.
Every word 'oozes' absolute truth and it can only have been inspired by the author first having had a life that made no sense. As a result, the author Eckhart Tolle had a total breakdown, but like a phoenix rising from the ashes and with more than a little help from The Buddha's teachings he analysed his life situation and
found that the basic problem was that his mind was 'all noise'from living in the past and thinking 'it will be alright in the future'. Recognise any similarities with yourself anybody?
Solution, get this book and start practicing with a conscious mind and living in the present moment.
Banish guilt, regret and grievences from your life. Learn to forgive and find peace. Recognise that the mind is basically all ego and that much of it is based on false characteristics, trying to be something that it is not, seeking power and influence that cannot be sustained. Where do you finish up? Often rejected by the world.
Living in the present moment does not mean withdrawing from modern society or even material possessions. What it does mean is living from a deeper perspective from within yourself, the 'inner being'and finding fulfilment well away from where you thought you would find it, somewhere on the outside.
The way Eckart Tolle describes the concept is not difficult to understand, but it will require consistent practice. Follow his clear directions and you will be able to experience relief immediately, even if only momentarily.
Buy this book, read it, re-read, practice its teachings and you will be on the road to a full, spiritually based (not religious), life that could only be dreamed of without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This gem is full of deep yet practical wisdom, 11 May 2001
This book is a real gem, to say the least. Eckhart Tolle is able to explain very deep and fundamental issues about life, ourself (body, mind, pure consciousness), and the universe in simple words, making this universal wisdom surprisingly accessible. For instance, Mr. Tolle brilliantly explains the fascinating concepts of time and space and their relationship to our mind and its processes and pitfalls, in other words, their relationship to the way we experience our life. This practical book contains important portals to disidentify from the mind/ego and to be in touch more deeply with our true inner self by entering the eternal now and, as a result, becoming more and more liberated from the past and the future. The book is written in a captivating format using highly relevant questions and answers. While reading or listening (the unabridged audio book is very inspirational too!) your consciousness will shift profoundly. It is a mind-blowing read/listening experience, even literally speaking ;-) In case you are looking for a meditation practice that perfectly fits in with these pure insights and pragmatic 'exercises/portals' bringing inner peace and joy on a day-to-day basis...
