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.
 Write a Review of The Power of Now
One of the top 5 most influential audiobooks I've listened to, February 23, 2006
Reviewer: LOLJPB
The Power of Now blew my mind. In part because of its simplicity. And in part because of how infrequently I follow its basic principles. I'm the kind of person whose thought pattern goes something like this: future, future, future, past, future, future, past, future, future, future. Rarely am I actually in the Now.
Since listening to the Power of Now I've been catching myself more and more when I slip into the future or the past. I'm much more aware. Now I don't agree with Eckhart that we should entirely be in the present moment all (or most all) of the time. I think that planning for the future and balancing "doing" with "being" is the key. It's the yin and the yang thing. The probably is many people are very unbalanced. They spend way too much time in the past or the future.
The Power of Now will help you spend more time in the present. It's one of the most critical keys to success and happiness. I'm glad to have found it at an important part of my life. This is also a great title to have on audio as you can listen to it when you're driving as an incredible reminder to Be Here Now.
A Useful Introduction to Meditative Thought, February 17, 2006
Reviewer: Seth Anderson
from Hollywood, California
I first listened to the Power Of Now shortly after it came out. I was in college at the time, and I was just about to crack due to the constant stress I placed on myself (actually, to be honest I did eventually crack, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been). In retrospect, the book came at a pivotal point in my life and it has genuinely helped me explore the basic, repetitive fears that underpin my anxiety.
If you want to know what this book is about in nutshell, it could be boiled down to this: The Present Moment is all you need to worry about in life. Living in the now is the lynchpin tenant for Tolle, and everything else he teaches finds its origins there. Like many modern spiritual guru's, Tolle's work often draws from eastern thought, but I've nevertheless found his ideas is to quite unique. As the book moves along, Tolle tries to calm the stress that stems from being overly concerned over past and future events. Grounding ourselves in what we are doing right here, and right now is the only way we can cope with whatever happened or whatever is coming. Tolle makes successful arguments for how much of human misery can be traced from this fundamental lack of mental patience (or "Stillness" as he might prefer it). For me, this book led to a larger examination of meditation and its subtle-yet-vital effects on overall health.
I credit Tolle for shedding light on a new way of interacting with the world. At a young age, I needed to have those seeds of wisdome planted and for that I'm entirely greatful.
