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

About the Author

World-renowned spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle conveys simple wisdom that transcends any particular religion, doctrine, or guru. His #1 NYT bestselling book is a modern classic in the field of personal growth and spirituality; Oprah Winfrey credits The Power of Now with helping her to "get through September 11, 2001" and she featured it on her December 2002 "Oprah's Favorite Things" show. A native of Germany, Eckhart Tolle attended the University of London, and upon graduation went on to become a research scholar and supervisor at Cambridge University. At 29, a profound spiritual awakening virtually dissolved his personal identity and sparked a radical change in the course of his life. It marked the beginning of an intense inward journey and he devoted the next decade to understanding, deepening, and integrating that transformation. For the past ten years, he has acted as a counselor and spiritual guide, facilitating sold-out groups in Europe and North America. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.

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.

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!!

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!!

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 😀

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

Verified Purchase

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.

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

Far too much waffle about nothing in my opinion, don't really understand what the author is trying say.

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.

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!

The book is very well written and easy to follow. Virtually all of the proposals and suggestions in it resonated with me. I would recommend it to anybody interested in connecting with their soul and attaining a state of infinite peace. I gave the book a 5 Star rating because I truly believe it had transformed my life and set me well and truly on the route to discovering and my soul and connecting with it. It has given me the power to control, instead of being controlled by, my mind

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.

Presence is the key to the power of NOW

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2018

Verified Purchase

An incredible book that immediately dispels myths about attitudes that have a profound impact on our relationships and the way we live our lives.

This includes beliefs that humanity has reached the pinnacle of its development, that we are completely separate from each other, from nature and the cosmos, and that the physical world is all there is. Based on his own personal transformation, Eckhart brilliantly shows us how to rise above our conscious thoughts and overcome our fears by ending our delusion of time to exist and gain great pleasure from living in the NOW.

By watching our thoughts and putting them into the right context, we can remove the insane burden of worrying about a hundred things we will or may have to do in the future, and focus our attention on the one thing that we can do NOW.

When we acknowledge and accept the facts and stop reacting to our thoughts, we create the space for transformation to happen. This also applies to giving others the space to express themselves and relinquishing negativity, so that we can feel true compassion and contribute towards bringing about a better world.

It is the quality of our consciousness at this moment that is the main determinant of what kind of future we will experience, so to surrender is the most important thing we can do to bring about positive change. When we surrender to what IS and so become fully present, the past ceases to have any power and we do not need it anymore - presence is the key to the power of NOW.

breathtaking & life changing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 October 2016

Verified Purchase

I was led to this book from reading various other spiritual books, such as by the excellent Jack Kornfield, and following some of the daily meditative posts on social media such as instagram. I was very surprised that amazon informed me that I had purchased it previously, on exactly the same date, 13 years before! It obviously did not speak to me then but it certainly does now. An amazing book that will completely change your viewpoint on life and the way you choose to see it/live it and once changed, you can't go back. ANd if you just don't 'get it' right away, keep hold of it and it'll catch up with you a few years down the line when you are ready to accept its' simple but awe inspiring message.

Probably the most inspirational book I have ever read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2017

Verified Purchase

But also one of the most difficult to understand at first (even though the author says that I must try not to understand!). I read this book in two phases with about a month's break halfway through. Because, for someone new to spiritual readings, the whole concept was very new for me. However, the last 3 chapters all made the book click and suddenly everything became clear to me. I have since listened to it on Audible several times and read the odd chapter here and there. Like a good movie, I learn something new each time I go back to it. I think this book is a must for everybody.

I had spent my life reading thousands of books trying to "figure it out" to make my way to a place of happiness and functionalit

Reviewed in the United States on 6 June 2017

Verified Purchase

I was feeling suicidal and had been for two years. I was completely done with life, with trying to heal my emotional traumas, limitations and with trying to be a full-functioning adult. I felt trapped inside an endless corridor of meaninglessness and pain.The Saturday morning when I was contemplating really ending it, I heard an inner voice say "one last book, read one last book and if you still want to kill yourself, go ahead." This was my "last book" I read it three months ago and haven't returned to that dark and hopeless place yet.
It taught me how to disconnect from the insanity of the mind. I had spent my life reading thousands of books trying to "figure it out" to make my way to a place of happiness and functionality, what Tolle explains that trying to solve the problems of thought from the level of thought is an impossibility. When we let go of mind-consciousness we do not become a meditative vegetable, instead, we gain access to the consciousness of our whole body and a more advanced awareness. I know it sounds weird, but it works. When I can stay present everything I do becomes more effective, and my social skills are way better now then they have ever been.
I don't mean to say that this is the be-all and end-all to human growth, but it has in fact saved my life, so I figured it at least deserved a good review. I am no longer helpless in the face of crushing memories and emotions. Thank you, Mr. Tolle.

Definitely changes the way you think and how to see the world, however is frustratingly worded with unnecessarily more complicated words as if he used a thesaurus on every other word thinking it would sound more powerful. The book could be cut down 80% and still be sufficient in explaining everything. Apart from that it is an essential book to read in your lifetime, it will change the way you work and how you go about your life. You will thank yourself for reading it.

I was so disappointed in this I don't even know where to start... 200 some pages of a topic that's really quite important however written about using a tone so condescending it actually made me angry. Seriously, he actually breaks up the text with a symbol which upon seeing you should "feel and experience the truth of what has just been said". It's safe to say I will never read another Eckhart Tolle book ever again and will stick with authors who wish to help and not patronise.

Incomprehensible drivel. Avoid.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 September 2019

Verified Purchase

I was expecting so much from this book, given how great the reviews are, but I was hugely disappointed. I consider myself to be “psychologically minded” and therefore receptive to the kind of concepts this book purports to address. However, I found that the book totally lacked any real direction and offered nothing more than page after page of incomprehensible, unstructured and useless drivel. The condescending tone which the author adopts throughout the book quickly becomes irritating and it was a real test of my patience to continue reading all the way to the end. But the real problem for me was how it continually failed to deliver on what it claimed to offer: guidance on how to live more in the present and shut the brain off from worrying about the past and future. It often felt like I was reading an extended introduction to the book, rather than the book itself, as most of its content is devoted to explaining how people suffer from the problem of not living in the present, what impact this has and why it is so important to change the way we think. But the key guidance missing is an explanation of exactly HOW we can make such changes. I genuinely cannot understand how this book has been able to receive such positive reviews, although I am reassured to read a large number of other reviews similar to mine.

Pretentious with very little substance.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2019

Verified Purchase

Assumption: Eckhart Tolle is enlightened. Supposedly he had an epiphany after a long spell of severe depression which resulted in his non dual realisation.

Since this book is a blend of esoteric wisdom I wonder... Did Tolle study esotericism before or after his epiphany?

My problem with this book is its claim that you can achieve enlightenment by using The Power of Now. You can't.

If the book was simply a call to live more mindfully it would be more honest. Sadly it's pretentious beyond words and to the uninitiated I imagine it's a load of gobbledygook.
