To make the journey into the Now we will need to leave our analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. From the very first page of Eckhart Tolle's extraordinary book, we move rapidly into a significantly higher altitude where we breathe a lighter air. We become connected to the indestructible essence of our Being, “The eternal, ever present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.” Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle uses simple language and an easy question and answer format to guide us.

A word of mouth phenomenon since its first publication, The Power of Now is one of those rare books with the power to create an experience in readers, one that can radically change their lives for the better.

Product description

Review

One of the best books to come along in years. Every sentence rings with truth and power. - Deepak Chopra

I heartily recommend this profoundly inspiring book to all seekers today. - Lama Surya Das, author of Awakening the Buddha Within --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

From the Publisher

Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of twenty-nine a profound inner transformation 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. Later, he began to work in London with individuals and small groups as a counselor and spiritual teacher. Since 1995 he has lived in Vancouver, Canada.

Eckhart Tolle is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Power of Now 'translated into 33 languages' which is widely regarded as one of the most influential spiritual books of our time.

Eckhart's profound yet simple teachings have already helped countless people throughout the world find inner peace and greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of the teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human evolution. An essential aspect of this awakening consists in transcending our ego-based state of consciousness. This is a prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for the ending of violent conflict endemic on our planet.

Eckhart is a sought-after public speaker and teaches and travels extensively throughout the world. Most of the teachings are given in English, but occasionally Eckhart also gives talks in German and Spanish. In addition to The Power of Now, Eckhart has written a book designed for meditative reading entitled Stillness Speaks. A book consisting of selections from The Power of Now is also available, entitled Practicing the Power of Now.

Time is an illusion

Reviewed in Australia on 2 June 2019

Verified Purchase

It’s a rather fabulous book in the way it is designed and written. I think that anyone who us searching for a way to break the patterns of their life could benefit from reading this book.

I found myself laughing in moments (even though it’s not supposed to be funny). The amusement comes from the reality of how obscure some of our fundamental beliefs are.

Paraphrasing an example in the book explaining how there is no past or future, there can only be now ...

“If you ask an eagle or a bear, what time is it, they would say the time is now and think, what a stupid question.”

Brilliant book & great audio.

Spiritually Damaging! Reader beware!!!

Reviewed in Australia on 2 December 2019

Verified Purchase

I was recommended this book some time ago, I highly recommend staying away from this book!

Nothing more than an Occult self help 'Guru.'
Taking pieces from different belief systems to cash in on the vulnerable that are spiritually curious or have genuine mental health issues that need genuine guidance and help, definitely would not recommend this book for such peaople (nor for anyone!)

I was in a dark place, until I was saved by Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth and the life!

Jesus heals, seek him and find hope and salvation.

Love to you all, God bless!

A Life changing experience!

Reviewed in Australia on 20 July 2014

I used to be a raging alcoholic. In my recovery I found that the past was haunting me. Everywhere I went locally and people that I saw always brought back terrible memories of my behavior. This book changed my life and the way I viewed it. Letting go of the past and seeing that it is not helpful, was in fact extremely helpful to me. This book will teach every single person who reads it something precious. If I could click on 20 stars for my review I wouldn't hesitate : ) Stay Mindful folks and ENJOY!!

Almost all life questions are answered in this book.

I found the flow - especially the arrangements of topics - well arranged.

The author has shared his life experience without any sugar coating. The book can be one's lifelong companion.

Profound and life changing

This book has given me so much to think about. I started reading the book as one person and have finished it with a completely different mindset. I am excited to begin living again. The book is written in a way that the information is simple and nothing you didn’t already know but when you read it you think that makes sense. I don’t know how I have missed it

The Travel Guide for your Head . . .

Reviewed in Australia on 30 October 2015

Verified Purchase

I can only return to this book sporadically due to lifestyle constraints, so it will be a very slow read, but maybe it's better that way in order to fully absorb and relate the wisdom herein contained.

So far it's been rather mind-blowing, in that it appears to be a rational and concise synthesis of most of my personal psychological researches of the past 50 years, from Maslow in the 60's, followed by a long interest in Eastern belief systems, and many alternate psychological viewpoints including, amongst others, the "channelings" of SETH via Jane Roberts. All, while never providing "The Answer", adding to my overt and subconscious understanding of "Life, The Universe, and Everything".

Now in these later days I've been trying to understand whatever relationships may exist between Reality, Thought, and Consciousness, using the scence of Quantum Physics as a connecting link. Innately I feel that the scope of this research now extends way beyond any spiritual and metaphysical yearnings that have for aeons been the province of Religion, which has used our needs as a tool of mis-information and social control.

This amazing book appears to be doing it for me, and I believe that any person approaching this book with an open mind, and an ability to release the PC bonds of the so-called "New Age" Religion Replacement Paradigm, will greatly benefit from these perceptive words of wisdom, which aren't limited by any pre-determined paradigm. Wherever you're coming from, or going to, on whichever road, then this book is surely the most wonderful Travel Guide to yourself.

I hope to post a fuller review on completion, if ever . . . I'm continually back-referencing and returning to previous points of interest, so don't hold your breath . . .

Enjoy!!

Life changing

Reviewed in Australia on 12 January 2017

I have wanted to read this book for so many years but never got around to it. However after reading a fascinating p, thoroughly depressing book, A Little Life I sought this book foe a remedy to the malaise I am experienced. It certainly did the trick! So many things to think about and practice. I am now making a point of breaking the anxiety ridden behaviour of thinking about EVERYTHING. Love it, definitely recommend 😀

Gutted that I wasted a gift card on this rubbish

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 March 2019

Verified Purchase

A dear friend recommended this book to me and it clearly affected her deeply. I tried really hard to get it, but struggled from the start. It's unbelievably boring. I could barely get through a page before nodding off. It's very repetitive, saying the same thing again and again. It also made so many ridiculous, unsubstantiated, pseudo-scientific assertions it was impossible to take seriously. For example, 'Emotional pain is also the main cause of physical pain and physical disease.' Try telling that to someone with a broken leg! Finally, I found it patronising and unrealistic, with a selfish and self-centred outlook. Anyone with responsibilities - dependent children or parents, a partner, a job, employees, bills to pay, voluntary roles - would be very irresponsible to ignore the future and live purely in the now. I was so relieved to read all the other 1* reviews and find that a small but significant minority felt, as I did, that this book is a pile of tosh.

Didn't finish it!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 December 2018

Verified Purchase

Far too much waffle about nothing in my opinion, don't really understand what the author is trying say. It seems he speaks from his own experience.

My recommended books are
Grow rich While You Sleep by Ben Sweetland
TNT: The Power Within by Claude Bristol
Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz
There's no waffle in these books.

Basically get the habit of success thinking instilled in you mind by disciplining yourself to think that way. Initially you have to force yourself to think success thoughts rather than letting your thinking run on autopilot, being influenced by the outside world. The more you force yourself to think success, the more your mind will do it.

Thinking habits apparently take 21 days to form so as they say, your result will reflect your efforts.

Your subconscious take notice of whatever you think and feel. Rather than listen to the author's videos on YT, I'd recommend listening to Bob Proctor who has studied success thinking for over five decades and was mentored by the late Earl Nightingale. By the way, there's two excellent recordings from Earl Nightingale on YT, The Strangest Secret and the condensed audio of Hill's Think & Grow Rich.

Barely coherent ramblings

Reviewed in the United States on 20 February 2019

Verified Purchase

I ordered this book because so many people said it was a must-read. No, it's not. It's a bunch of rambling. Tolle uses pages and pages of borderline coherent blathering to say what could be summed up in one paragraph.
His writing style is unbearable. For example, "It is a misperception of your essential reality that is beyond birth and death, and is due to the limitations of your mind, which, having lost touch with Being creates the body as evidence of its illusory belief in separation and to justify its state of fear." JFC.
I finally put this book away for good after reading half of it. I really don't understand the book's popularity. It's like everybody is nodding, smiling, and singing Tolle's praises, when the reality is that nobody gets it because there is nothing to "get." But nobody wants to say it.

A must read for anyone wanting to escape emotional pain or be free of the Self you are fed up with

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2018

Everyone should read this book. Eckhart Tolle is a spiritual teacher he guides you how to live in the Now and how to become aware of your chattering mind, how to deal with painful emotions, how to awaken from the preconditioned self - by this I mean the person you think you are but really its just a lot of ideas and beliefs coming from teachers, parents, religion, this book will free you from that old self and become free to live in the now.

The most powerful book on Awakening, ever?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2018

Verified Purchase

I read this book just after it first came out. Having re-read it several times now, referring to it whenever my life situations were difficult, I can say it is of extraordinary value. It has helped me become more Present and Conscious to this moment, and virtually all of my previous difficulties have faded into nothingness. Challenges do occur, of course, but the way I see them and approach them is vastly different to my former state. Highly recommended!
