Although I had heard of this book for sometime I never haad the urge to read it until recently. Now I am totally absorbed by it. This is not a quick read. It takes time to fully explore the ideas and concepts provided in this book. Each day I learn more about myself and how I want to live - In the Now.

  Christians BEWARE
Review created: 07/04/08

3 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I was very excited to purchase a copy of this book as I recently had a revelation about the effects of focusing on the present. I excitingly opened the book radomly and landed on a chapter that can only be described as blasphemist. The author completely denounces Christ and any faith surrounding Our Lord Jesus. The particular passage that troubled me was when the author stated that there is "no past or future in Christ." I understand that not everyone reading my review will share my opinion. My only purpose in writing this is to inform other Christians or anyone who has faith in Our Saviour about the content of this book.

Great book! If you like The New Earth, you must read this one by Tolle as well.
Tolle emphasizes the importance of living in the NOW!

How much of your day is actually spent completely focused in the here and now? When you are working, how often do you find your mind wandering? How much of your time is spent thinking about what you are going to do next weekend or wishing you’d handled a particular situation differently?

The majority of us spend most of our life fixated on the past or worrying about the future. The present is just something that we gloss over until we realize that we missed out on something. Then, we yearn to have that day back.

What we tend to forget is that all we really have is now. The past is gone it no longer exists, except in memory. These experiences can’t be changed in any way. Dream or worry about the future as much as you want but no one is promised these things, good or bad. This moment that’s all. Make it count and really experience it.

It’s a bit scary and freeing all at the same time to know that all we have is right now. More and more, I find myself feeling the here and now and listening to my intuition. I understand quality rather than quantity in my daily life. When I get off balance or upset, I see the fear scenarios playing and I re-center myself.

  never recieved.
Review created: 06/09/08

My wife had purchased this item. She does not have much experience with half.com when paying for items. She payed for this book but did not save any of the reciepts. The check was cashed but she had never recieved item purchased. I am at a loss because there is no record on my Ebay account or paypal, but there is a record of fund transfer in my bank account.

Review created: 06/08/08

It is an inspirational guide, well written and in terms of the way we speak. It's not over the top of 'my' which made me want to go on. Unlike other spiritual literature, this one makes sense, it's honest and makes one look at life and themselves in a real way. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Too basd I didn't find out about it until just recently - but better late than never.

This is my 2nd copy of this book. I gave the first one as a gift. This is the best book. Everyone should read this book at least 1 time. I just can't say enough good things about the material in this book. It has totally transformed my life and thinking. I never really realized how much I think about the past and how much I try to look ahead to the future, that keeps me from enjoying RIGHT NOW... which is all we really have for certain anyway. Read it, you wont be disappointed.

I loved this book. I heard about while watching Oprah and ordered it. It has helped me so much. I was living on things that had happened to me in the past and caused me to be afraid and stressed out This book has taught me that the only thing is Now You can learn from your past and look forward to the future but I now enjoy life so much more because things don't bother me and hold me "hostage"

A friend recommended this book.
I think you have to be ready for this kind of teaching and I was.
I think it has changed my life for the better but it's not an easy read.
If things in the past still bother you, you have to read this book and learn to live in the now. It's great.

This book was suggested reading from a friend of mine. I am enjoying it, but am very glad I read the Power of Now first. Mr. Tolle writes in an understandable way that is an easy read and enjoyable.

This is the 2nd book I've read by Tolle, and it is a keeper, as it is pack with practicle wisdom!!!

It is spiritual advice, and is applicable to everyday life. I liked this book because it encourages meditation in a simple, down to earth manner!

  The missing link
Review created: 04/13/08(updated 04/13/08)

I was having difficulty understanding the Buddhist concept of 'mindfulness' when I chanced across the Power of Now. This book bridged that gap for me. I bought the book (in hardback, which I rarely do), the audio book and both sets of meditation cards. If there had been tee-shirts and bumper stickers, I'd have bought them too.

One of the best things about this book is that Tolle tells you to stop reading for a bit every time you come to an 'S' shaped graphic. The concepts are not something you are going to 'get' the way you would reading other sorts of informational texts, like a diet book or business text; it's not something you can pick up, blitz through and attempt to implement into your life in a couple of days. It has to percolate a bit, seep in, and become part of you, slowly by slowly.

At the same time, once you start to discover the power of now, life seems a lot more simple, and you wonder why you didn't 'get it' before.

The concepts also come in two card deck editions. You can determine an area to focus on, by shuffling the cards and picking one at random, or select one based on what you think you need to focus on. They come in a box that sets up to form an easel, which you can keep on your desk at work, or display on your nightstand or other prominent place in your home as a reminder.

Hard to keep your attention. Kind of like reading English literature.
He leaves you wondering why he chose to use so many words to describe his point.
When his last sentence describing his point, always ties it up for you in the end. In the meanwhile, you have to read through all the rhetoric in between.

It's not a quick read, you will keep putting it down because he loses your attention and then picking it up another day, trying it again.

I can't recommend this book, it is too tiresome to read.
But he does make some good points, when you finally get to them.
