The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle (2004, Paperback, Reprint)

Author: Eckhart Tolle | Publisher: New World Library | Language: English

Product description

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.

This book will open your inner eye

Created: 04/02/08
The Power of Now (TPON) has the power to fundamentally and profoundly change your life if read with an open mind (or "no-mind" - inside joke). It gives you a radically different perspective on life and teaches you to find peace within, no matter your outer circumstances. Some may find the reading a bit difficult at first, but keep with it and all will become clear as the author's concepts become easier to understand. Don't let the subtitle "a guide to spiritual transformation" scare you off...Tolle writes from a non-denominational viewpoint and his insights are more psychological than religious, although you will likely want to explore your spiritual side more deeply once you read TPON. His concepts are strongly influenced by Zen Buddhism, but you wouldn't know that unless you've already studied Zen. I like how he explains some of Christianity's confusing concepts with clear interpretations of Jesus' teachings. But the overall concept is in becoming truly "aware/conscious" in the present, and letting go of neurotic mind-patterns: very simple, but not easy. TPON will give you practical ways to practice this. It's a bit repetitive, but sometimes re-stating the same concept in a different way will reach different readers more clearly. It only serves to drive home the book's excellent principles. Highly recommended for anyone on a spiritual path as well as those just wanting a happier, more peaceful and loving life.

The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle

Created: 09/03/08
This book will change your current mind set or it will be meaningless to you if you are not ready to be enlightened, and that's ok because not all of us are ready for this at the same time. If you are seeking Spirituality rather than just Religion or Idealology then this book is a must read for you. It takes us deeper into the pre conditioned thoughts that we live with everyday and teaches us to focus in the "Now", "the Present Moment." The author explains the destructive power the ego has in our everyday thought processes and how we can begin to recongize it in order to make the changes necessary to be awakened. Powerful and inspiritional! Weather you consider yourself a victim in this life, or a pretty successful person; this teaching can enhance your Human Expeirance.

The missing link

Created: 14/04/08
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.

Why don't you already have this book?

Created: 02/05/10
This book can help bring you to a realization of your full empowerment. It cannot be overemphasized that this is one of the most profound things you can ever read. The information isn't new. It is ancient knowledge produced in an insprired, easily absorbable way that fits the way modern people think. Read it, feel it, absorb it. This is your key. If you don't get it the first reading, hold onto it for a little while and when you're ready you'll be inspired to read it again and once you get it, your life will change forever in the most profoundly positive way.
