It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 2 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle … chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, “the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.”

Has anyone else read The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment? I found this book a few years ago (via Oprah Winfrey) and have read it 5 or 6 times since. It’s been transformative at a number of major junctures in my life. If you’re at all interested in meditation and spirituality (or actually even if you’re not), I highly recommend this book! It has a permanent place on my bedside table.
A must read for anyone looking for experiencing happiness and maximizing their well being. Perhaps the most influential book I’ve read.
Simply one of the best books I’ve ever read as far as self-development. I first read this years ago and forced myself to finish it. I found it boring then. Fast-forward years of reading and studying self-development and self-responsibility books when I picked this up again, I loved it! It has so much more meaning for me now. I just wasn’t ready for it the first time through. Now that I understand it much better, I can’t rate it highly enough! It’s outstanding.
This book saved me & changed my life forever! It’s absolutely a must read!
I am so glad I read this book. For most of my life I was hanging on to the past and living for the future. Elkhart teaches that the present moment is the only moment that matters. This book is a game changer for me and I highly recommend it!
I believe this book saved my life, the simplest explanation to stop a complicated possibly traumatized racing mind ,explained simply and beautifully. Must read for the society we endure and project.
One of my favorites! Love this book.
Read it, then live it, please.
Don’t get why this is such a big book for everyone. Concepts were not helpful to me and it was so analytical I could barely understand and I consider myself a bright enough person.
I was pointed in the direction of this book by the great American philosopher RuPaul, and I’m so glad. It really affected me.
An unforgettable, powerful book.
This book has great ideas, but thy didn’t stick with me and I read it twice! Couldn’t tell you a single idea now!
Well written, insightful and thoughtful perspective of our world view that may change some of our foundational understanding of existing in this plane of life to develop a wonderful way of being.
Very enlightening. I found the author’s interpretation of historical religious documents very insightful and relevant. This book is a timely guide to solving the ego driven problems of our society in this country and the world.
Tolle is a spiritual sage of the 21st Century.
a go to author who’s teachings are iconic
Reading this book really helped me figure things out. I highly recommend this gem.
A very thoughtful work by someone with profound wisdom
