The Power Of Now: A Guide To Spiritual Enlightenment

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 symbolise "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

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.

After reading the entire book, the last question interviewer asks on the last page is probably every one wants to ask Mr. Tolle. His answer(read the book and only look at the answer after you finished the entire book) is dramatic, succinct and bliss-provoking. I carry this book in my brief case all the time. You never know when you need an uplifting message!

I admit it, I'm a scientific skeptic and annoyed by "new age speak" and unsubstantiated claims of spiritual powers and enlightenment. So when my girlfriend recommended I read Tolle's book about the "now experience", I was incredulous. However, I quickly realized Tolle's book in a category by its self. No grandiose claims, panacea remedies, or motivational empowerment here. His penetrating insights that will make you STOP what you are doing, and I guess that's the point. The "now awareness" Tolle describes is available to everyone (new age seeker, or skeptic). My girlfriend and I have finally found common ground. If nothing else, it's a breath of sanity. Read it before you die.

I've read this book twice and also saw the author live a few weeks ago in San Francisco. He battled for many years with severe depression, and looked for answers to his life through higher learning before having a complete change of life and finding inner peace and joy through living in the present moment. He encourages the reader to let go of the ego and brain "noise" and be in the now, which is how he says he lives. Most all of the "problems" we have in life don't directly effect us in the moment, yet we are controlled and tortured by them he says. Tolle also makes the case for healing past pain and suffering through simply being fully here now. Making these changes in our materialistic, image possessed, ego driven society is a challenge indeed, but he would say it's our only way out. This is truly life changing stuff.
