The Power Of Now

Eckhart Tolle is quickly becoming one of the most inspiring teachers of our time. The author describes his transition from despair to self-realization shortly after his 29th birthday in The Power of Now, which is already a word-of-mouth bestseller in Canada. Tolle needed another ten years to fully comprehend this transformation, during which time he developed a philosophy that has parallels in Buddhism, relaxation techniques, and meditation theory but is also extremely practical. He teaches readers in The Power of Now how to recognize themselves as the creators of their own pain and how to live pain-free by living fully in the present. He claims that accessing the deepest self, the true self, can be learned by freeing ourselves from the mind's competing, unreasonable demands and living fully and intensely in the Now.

Ekhart Tolle's message is straightforward: living in the present moment is the surest path to happiness and enlightenment. While this message may not appear to be particularly original, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice, and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who has ever wondered what it means to "live in the now." To begin with, Tolle is a world-class teacher who can explain complex concepts in simple terms. More importantly, after only a chapter, readers are already holding the world in a different container, more aware of how thoughts and emotions interfere with their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness.

The Power of Now contains a wealth of information and inspirational ideas from Tolle. (Subjects covered include the source of Chi, enlightened relationships, creative mind use, impermanence, and the cycle of life.) Fortunately, he's added markers that represent "break time." This is the time for readers to put the book down and reflect on what they have just read. The book is regarded as one of the best books on concentration.
