The Power of Now: A Guide to
Spiritual Enlightenment
A Pleasant Read
Ekhart Tolles 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, Tolles clear writing, supportive voice, and
enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone whos 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, hes 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. --

Features:
There's nothing new about the concept "be here now." We've all heard a
hundred variations of this theme from self-help books to religious texts,
and from mystics to little league coaches. But for those of us either blessed
or cursed with a rational mind, this book speaks clearly, profoundly, and
easy-to-grasp. Hell, even Oprah `got it.' Once you understand that all fear
is your mind's projection of an outcome, event or piece of information that
isn't even real yet, you start to get a sense of the forces within ourselves
that trap or hold us back from truly enjoying any given moment. I read this
book again and again whenever I feel stuck. Or I listen to the CD to get a
good laugh, because Tolle reads the book himself, and he must not have
been happy with the sound of his own voice because he had the tape
slowed down to give him a lower, more ominous pitch. It's a little bit
creepy, but surprisingly effective, and it never fails to crack me up.
