Summary

To make the journey into The Power of Now you need to leave your analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. Access to the Now is everywhere - in the body, the silence, and the space all around you. These are the keys to enter a state of inner peace. They can be used to bring you into the Now, the present moment, where problems do not exist. It is here you find your joy and are able to embrace your true self. It is here you discover that you are already complete and perfect.

Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle offers simple language in a question and answer format. The words themselves are the signposts to guide you on your journey. There are new discoveries to be made along the way: you are not your mind, you can find your way out of psychological pain, authentic human power is found by surrendering to the Now. When you become fully present and accepting of what is, you open yourself to the transforming experience of The Power of Now.

Thought provoking

This audiobook is very deep. I do not think I would have been able to read it as a book as I would have found it very heavy going and I would have missed out.

Someone commented on the author's "monotone" voice but I think his voice is quite soothing to listen to. Its a voice who belongs to someone who is at peace with the world.

This book is a little gem and will teach you how to create space for yourself in our busy world.

Warning - Do not listen to this unless...

Unless you want to radically unblock your life, unlock your inner power and live an entirely different existence

Absolutely Brilliant!

I loved listening to this book!
If I didn't fall asleep from Eckhart's lovely soothing voice,
I listened to it and didn't understand it all. The man is a genius! How does he know that if you went past chi, you would go to "Heaven" or/ "Nirvana" for a few seconds before coming back as a new life with the same spirit. You would have to look extremely deep into your inner body! I don't know how you feel your inner body without visualizing, I would not be able to get that, (visualization) out of my mind. Great book ,,Eckhart, Thanks very much!

Very interesting

This is pretty much standard reading for anyone who is seriously considering themselves to be spiritual or wants to really self improve. I enjoyed the book and tolles wisdom. It is a good book as a reference or to use as a prompt for journaling or deep meditating on the points he reads of. It does not necessarily provide direction for how to develop the thinking style or enlightened state he speaks of so further reading and study is required but I would recommend this book to pretty much everyone :)

Sober, simple, useful ways to just be.

I was signposted to Tolle via a review that caught my eye of his new book (not this one). I'd been having something of a personal crisis for some time, and I happened to have time to kill so I read the review. Traditionally I have no patience at all with claims to supernatural knowledge, because my experience had always been that such claims were ultimately abusive lies. But I was in crisis now, and Tolle never actually makes such claims (his discussion on the nature of words as symbols and signposts only, has almost cured me of my aversion to that base-ball-bat-of-a-word: 'God') . I decided to try and be empirical. If it didn't work, then I'd have not lost anything, and would at least have tried something. I bought this to see what the source of his teachings were. How credible. How useful? First I should say that this book is practical, and often full of strange moments of recognition. Obviously Tolle is widely read in very many spiritual texts, but the neat, clear, everyday way he sets them out still feels as if he has captured something you'd half arrived at yourself already. Only more neat and methodical! Secondly it is genuinely non-denomenational, and open to all: however or whether you self define. Several times he invites you to not take his word for it, but simply have a go for yourself. Certainly it won't be everyone's cup of tea because we humans are a mixed bunch. Personally I found the discussion of frequencies, levels and vibrations recalled art college days of wicca and getting stoned, but I found it so rich in application and full of good points that I'm off to start listening to it again after this, and I'll try to put some of its suggestions into practice too!
