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.

I was sceptical

Initially not sure whether this would be any good and thought maybe other reviewers were desperately looking for something that the rest of us knew was a bit 1960's and zen like. Maybe they are - maybe not. I don't think I am but I did find this surprisingly inciteful and useful. Lots of really down to earth good advice and good philosophical (and dare I say it) spiritiual food for thought. But to reiterate: useful and pragmatic from the start. Have listened to some bits a few times as it seems to make me think of things slightly differently each time.

Potentially life changing

Although I am not religious and found some of the referring to religious texts somewhat awkward. I cannot argue with the overall teachings and philosophy contained within this book.

As Eckhart says we really do have nothing except the now and if we can embrace that everything in life changes and only gets better.

Life changing

A fantastic book, which has put on the path of enlightenment. I feel the fog of depression lifting as I learn and practice my presence.

Very insightful and helpful

I can safely say that from the beginning of me listening to this audiobook and the end I'm entirely different in way if behaviour and thinking. my perception has changed based on the views shared by Eckhart. The illusion of psychological time, the attachment to a way of thinking and the continuation of repeated patterns of behaviour, thinking and feeling are all described here. If you are looking for perhaps piece of mind and spiritual improvement then this audiobook is for you. I certainly recommend it to every single human being. Thanks Mr. Tolle.
