About this ebook

It's no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect 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." Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.

I have to begin by saying that this has been one of the most insightful books I have encountered, thus far. I was advised to read this book by my priest and, since then, I have been hooked. At page 98, I can already say that I have full control of my thoughts and emotions. Just recently, I got out of a two year relationship, which not only was detrimental to my being, but abusive, overall! Subconsciously, I was forced to believe that I was the person who he painted me out to be, as many of you can relate. However, after reading this book, not only have I become enlightened and more conscience, but I was able to become cognizant of my true self- my inner being. In essence, I was able to sum up to courage to leave that chapter of my life in the past, and finally be able to move forward in life, because I knew that I was worth so much more than what he perceived me to be. In all, I am extremely grateful to have been introduced to such life-changing read. Thank you, Eckhart!

This book is written in such a way that u'll give up on the initial pages diving into the main contents. From my experience just on the first part of the book we'll need to have an open minded(for reference get a glimpse of the intro from the book '4 agreement'), this book is at the pinnacle of processing the pragmatic and unpragmatic scenarios.

About the author

Spiritual teacher and author 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 New York Times bestsellers The Power of Now (translated into 33 languages) and A New Earth, which are widely regarded as two of the most influential spiritual books of our time. In 2008, A New Earth became the first spiritual book to be selected for Oprah's Book Club as well as the subject of a ten-week online workshop co-taught by Eckhart and Oprah.
