The Power of Now contains specific meditation exercises and very clear and simple keys that have the power to change our ways of thinking and lead us much further along the path to a liberated life. Practicing the Power of Now is a series of excerpts, exercises, and keys from The Power of Now, carefully arranged to have a profound impact.
In The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle shared the enlightenment he himself experienced after a startling personal transformation. This book extracts the essence of his teachings about how to free oneself from enslavement to the mind. His views go beyond any particular religion, doctrine, or guru.
The goal is to be able to enter into and sustain an enlightened state of consciousness throughout everyday life. Through meditations and simple techniques, Eckhart shows readers how to quiet their thoughts, see the world in the present moment, and find the truest path to happiness.

Which one to buy? by AfroAmericanHeritage (Wisconsin)

“Since the content of Tolle’s books has been covered well elsewhere, I’d like to address the person new to Tolle and wondering where to begin.
In my personal experience, if I could only afford to purchase one book, I’d start with PRACTICING THE POWER OF NOW. I feel that it essentially restates the material found in the original POWER OF NOW but in a format I found easier to digest. I don’t see much point in owning both books (which I currently do.)
If you connect with PRACTICING and want more, then I’d recommend the audio book/retreat Realizing the Power of Now: An In-Depth Retreat With Eckhart Tolle. (It’s less than $10 if you purchase the audio file from Audible.) I’m only half way through listening yet I constantly find myself thinking “Ah…now I understand what he meant.” It truly is an excellent supplement.
There is one more Tolle book here, STILLNESS SPEAKS. I borrowed this from the library. It’s basically just out-takes from the other books, sort of a quotable quotes book that restates things in a nutshell. It would make a nice gift to a Tolle fan, but again, doesn’t offer anything more than the other books. I suppose my message is: everything you need to know is in the original POWER OF NOW, stated perhaps more clearly in PRACTICING and excerpted in STILLNESS but supported well in audio format by the retreat CD.
I find Tolle’s basic message very powerful, enlightening and simple. As he himself constantly repeats, he’s not saying anything new…be here now. But he explains it in a way which finally connects the dots for me. Unfortunately, this simple message seems to be getting constantly repackaged and I hope it doesn’t turn into a “Chicken Soup for the Enlightened Soul” series. (I should probably go make sure that’s not the title of an actual book!”

“This book makes an excellent companion to “The Power of Now.” The exercises found among these pages causes one to do some deep soul searching to determine what is important in life and what is truly insignificant. Even if you have not read Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of Now”, which I strongly recommend readers do, this thought-provoking workbook can be used as a stand-alone book.
Tolle has a way of giving meaning to life by using exercises, meditations and essential teachings (many based on Buddhist philosophies) to bring peace, balance and harmony into our lives. The goal is to be able to bring about and sustain an enlightened state of consciousness in our daily lives.
Tolle has a way of making the reader do some deep soul searching and reveal many truths about themselves that they might not otherwise do. In essence, the book causes one to “lighten the load” and follow a path of peace and harmony. This is truly a spiritual journey to a more enriched and meaningful life. The book is highly recommended and highly deserving of a five-star plus rating. “

“I have read The Power of Now and A New Earth, and have since bought Practicing the Power of Now and Stillness Speaks and am halfway through each. I have to tell you, I am changing. Something has happened, and I am not afraid anymore.
It took more than just reading one book. I had to keep flooding myself with these teachings and practicing them. At first I agreed with the words but I didn’t feel the peace, at least not for long. I would read and feel it but the teachings would recede quickly to the back of my mind, allowing the usual judgments and fear to come to the front.
These little hardbound books are just what I wanted, a rapid insertion of wisdom into my cluttered perception. If you have felt that Eckhart Tolle really does have something special in his explanation of who we are and how to find peace, than you should keep collecting his books. Or just have one and read it as many times as it takes, until you really get it.
Eckhart didn’t invent this stuff, it’s everywhere from Jesus to the Buddha to dozens of other contemporary spiritual teachers. Tolle just teaches the priniciples in a way that sinks in for me. These principles are true; I know because I have found peace. It’s awesome. Maybe the best thing that ever happened to me.”
