The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
Eckhart Tolle
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Rank: 2898
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--This text refers to the
Hardcover edition.
About the AuthorEckhart Tolle was born in Germany, where he spent the first thirteen years
of his life. After graduating from the University of London, he was a
research scholar and supervisor at Cambridge University.
At age
twenty-nine a profound spiritual transformation virtually dissolved his
old identity and radically changed the course of his life.
The next
few years were devoted to understanding, integrating and deepening that
transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey.
For the past ten years, Eckhart has been a counselor and spiritual
teacher. Through this book, his teaching is now available throughout the
world.
He is currently traveling extensively bringing not only his
teaching but his presence to a growing number of audiences.

![]() | | | Whats New? | | (Toronto, ON, Canada) May 17, 2005 - 3.0/5 stars | | I read this book only this year, though it was a bestseller. But what is
new in this book? These were the teachings of the Art of Living foundation
since 1982. With that price tag, it looks like another business. But in any
case, this book is worth reading. |
