The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
Author: Eckhart Tolle
Desc: Eckhart 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 symbolise "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
