Description: Ekhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice, and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means. Foremost, Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language. More importantly, within a chapter of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different container--more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness. Tolle packs a lot of information and inspirational ideas into The Power of Now. (Topics include the source of Chi, enlightened relationships, creative use of the mind, impermanence, and the cycle of life.) Thankfully, he's added markers that symbolize "break time." This is when readers should close the book and mull over what they just read. As a result, The Power of Now reads like the highly acclaimed A Course in Miracles--a spiritual guidebook that has the potential to inspire just as many study groups and change just as many lives for the better. --Gail Hudson

Review Summary: Nothing new....and Nothing more powerful... |
Date: 2008-11-19 |
|
| |
|
Details: Being in the moment - but so beautifully explained you'll get there are least once. All of his books are worth reading, and with all of the doing and striving we are involved in, it's nice to just "be" in a health way. Give it a try! |

Review Summary: Presence, Peace, and Joy |

Details: This exciting book is not for everyone. It requires an open mind and a fearless curiosity about our true natures as spiritual beings. Building on concepts of the spirituality traditions (Krishnamurti, Biblical texts, others), Tolle extends and explains them in plain English, providing through examples, sacred texts, and observations, the unique association we share with existence, the influence and traps of the mind, and ways to use our bodies as portals to our true essence, which is presence, peace, and joy. |

Review Summary: The Power of Now, Is Taking Control of Your Emotions! |
Date: 2008-11-08 |
|
|

Details: This book has helped me beyond my belief! We all have emotions, and we cannot help how we feel. Now, imagine if you were able to take control of those emotions, and emerge as a strong and capable leader? We all know that leaders must manage and control their emotions. What do we do if we cannot? How can we learn to manage something that appears so difficult to control?
Its easy! Read this book! The Power of Now explains the "pain body" that exists within our cells. Past hurts stack up over time, and if they are not addressed, they will be expressed. What a relief to learn how to control those emotions that just do not serve us!
Everyone needs to read, understand and apply the concepts in this book!

Review Summary: The first book thar really worked |
Date: 2008-11-06 |
|

Details: How many times have you purchased a self help/growth book with high expectations? I would usually read the jacket and say, "that's me" or that those are the goals for myself I wish to achieve. I would eventually finish it, put it down and find nothing has changed. For myself, more times than I care to count. This is the first time I have found a book to actually work and show results.
The book is basically about being present. You wouldn't think that more than a few paragraphs would be needed to explain the benefits of being present and the consequences of not being present. However, every sentence in this book provides insight and clarity I wouldn't have thought possible to convey with words.
I find myself reading no more than a page or two at a time, reflecting on what was said, and then putting it into practice. If you read this book like a novel, I believe it would be difficult to fully grasp what the author is saying. My mind has become less busy, I am not as easily distracted, I worry less about the future and negative past events no longer effect me, or at least not as much.
This is the first time I have felt compelled to review a book because this is the first time I have had results. I hope you give it a chance. |

Review Summary: Big stuff |
Date: 2008-11-03 |

|
Details: Although this book may get a bit too far "out there" towards the end for some people, the essential tenets are so profoundly true and helpful, I'd say it is a must read for anyone. The power is all in the now. |
