It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 2 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.

Amazing clarity by Janie (Brighton, England)

“This is possibly the most powerful and insightful book on spirituality ever written. The most amazing thing about it is its clarity – its account of the workings of the human minds is truly stunning.
Like no other book I’ve read, it has an enlightening effect as you read it – you can feel the clarity and insight spreading to you. It has led me on to another amazing book called the Fall by Steve Taylor, which is highly recommended by Eckhart on his website.
The Fall provides a historical and cultural context to Eckhart’s work, showing the ego’s terrible effects throughout history and suggesting that, as a species, we are now transcending it.”

“I have read many self-help books in my life, but not one has ever had the same impact on my life as the ‘The Power of Now’.
Every word ‘oozes’ absolute truth and it can only have been inspired by the author first having had a life that made no sense. As a result, the author Eckhart Tolle had a total breakdown, but like a phoenix rising from the ashes and with more than a little help from The Buddha’s teachings he analysed his life situation and found that the basic problem was that his mind was ‘all noise’from living in the past and thinking ‘it will be alright in the future’. Recognise any similarities with yourself anybody?
Solution, get this book and start practicing with a conscious mind and living in the present moment. Banish guilt, regret and grievences from your life. Learn to forgive and find peace. Recognise that the mind is basically all ego and that much of it is based on false characteristics, trying to be something that it is not, seeking power and influence that cannot be sustained.
Where do you finish up? Often rejected by the world. Living in the present moment does not mean withdrawing from modern society or even material possessions. What it does mean is living from a deeper perspective from within yourself, the ‘inner being’and finding fulfilment well away from where you thought you would find it, somewhere on the outside.
The way Eckart Tolle describes the concept is not difficult to understand, but it will require consistent practice. Follow his clear directions and you will be able to experience relief immediately, even if only momentarily. Buy this book, read it, re-read, practice its teachings and you will be on the road to a full, spiritually based (not religious), life that could only be dreamed of without it. “
This book completely changed my life by Andreou Andreas (Cyprus)

“This book completely changed my life. I was at a point in my life where depression had set in once again, feeling depressed had become a regularly occurring thing in my life.
Every few months I would start to think and evaluate my life and start to feel low because I hadn’t accomplished something or that I procrastinated too much and sidelined my goals. Suddenly I felt I needed a break, so i got on a plane and went to Athens, Greece to see a good friend who had just broken up, I had just broken up also and thought it would take my mind off things for a while.
At the airport I found a book “The power of NOW”, that I thought had something to do with procrastination and being more active. As I read the book at the airport every single word was changing me, forever. As I read more and more I became a new person. The flight was 1.5 hours and I couldn’t put the book down for a second.
By the time I went to Athens I was a different person. I enjoyed myself there so much it was unreal. When I came back home I finally took some time to myself to retrospect and take in the whole book. That’s when I realized the awesome power of Now, it’s been a wonderful few weeks, no stress, no negativity, no overpowering thoughts, complete control.
As a side-effect, i’ve completed many tasks in my life, begun the gym, quit smoking, got back with many of my old friends etc etc. This book is a life changer. Quite simply AMAZING!”
