All rights reserved.The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle (2004)
| Synopsis One of the hardest tasks on a spiritual journey is letting go of ingrained thought processes, beliefs, opinions, and obsessions in order to plunge directly into the reality of the moment. And yet Eckhart Tolle believes this is the key to transformation. THE POWER OF NOW is a direct, simple, and highly readable explication of this powerful principle. Written in a Socratic question-and-answer form, Tolle describes the process of letting go of our ego-identified selves, our "pain bodies," and embracing the present moment. He outlines the pitfalls that sabotage our attempts to change our lives, and gently leads the reader to discover the incorruptible joy that resides within all of us. While Tolle's approach is certainly not new--it revisits the basic tenets of Buddhism and several mystical schools--its fresh and non-dogmatic presentation gives new life to a worthwhile message.
Publisher's Note A powerful, insightful guide to achieving spiritual balance shows readers the impediments posed by the mind to the path of enlightenment and the secret to connecting with essence of Being, all the while emphasizing the importance of living in the moment. | Find errors in the product description?

Top Reviews  Excellent BookReview created: 04/02/07 by:  8 of 8 people found this review helpful. 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. Review ID: 10000000003269681 Was this review helpful? Report this review Reviews  Christians BEWARE1 of 1 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. Review ID: 10000000007808948 Was this review helpful?

Review ID: 10000000007738701 Was this review helpful? Report this review The Power of NowReview created: 06/17/08 by: 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.
