Celebrating 25 Years as a New York Times Bestseller — Over 16 Million Copies Sold
It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 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 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.” Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.

Must Read! It will change your life.
Why do we all feel that something is missing? We feel discontent, unworthy, anxious, depressed, ashamed, and sometimes plain bored. Why do we suffer in these ways, and what can we do about it? Strangely enough, this small book holds the answers. It is a well-drawn map to freedom.I have read it four times, and each time it resonates as deeply as if I had written it myself – for me. I have also read many other similar books from the “self-help” shelf, but none of them do what this book does. Each reading, I understand more fully, and I walk away challenged to embody the lesson. Each time I become … more. This book transformed my life.Critics of this book claim it is full of “New Age,” woo-woo cliches. They’re right, in a way, although fear not: you will find no mention of crystals, astrology, or spirits here. The eclecticism and self-spirituality of the New Age movement inspired many to comb through world religions, mystic teachings, depth psychology, and philosophy to dig up gems of wisdom and free them of their dogma. I view this book as the culmination of their work. The result is a practical application of mysticism, drawn heavily from Zen, Advaita Vedanta, Sufism, and Gnosticism. Tolle compares his teachings most closely with those of Ramana Maharshi and Jiddu Krishnamurti, but what he delivers is uniquely authentic, insightful, and profound.We are not our mind. We are not our past. At our core, we are the “One Life from which all that exists derives its being.” We are the Source. All of our problems and most of our suffering stems from misplaced identification with the ego, our conditioned mental self-image, and the “pain-body,” the ego’s dark shadow of remembered pain. There are various methods we can use to shed this delusion: be intensely present in the Now, surrender full to what is, witness our thoughts to disidentify from the mind, and focus on the energy field of the “inner body.” In fact, to accomplish any of these tasks is to accomplish them all. And when we do, we experience stillness, peace, joy, love, and more.”Imagine a ray of sunlight that has forgotten it is an inseparable part of the sun and deludes itself into believing it has to fight for survival and create and cling to an identity other than the sun. Would the death of this delusion not be incredibly liberating?””When you are transformed, your whole world is transformed, because the world is only a reflection.”

Priceless book, filled with wisdom. For the ones that are ready to understand the dept of this book
I love Eckhart Tolle, thus below my comments reflect my passion for his teachings. As you know everything is relative, in this case, my review is relative to my personal experience.The most profound book I have ever read. Finally I have touched the depth of consciousness. When you are ready, you may understand it. Otherwise, it may be a heavy book. It’s like giving a computer book to a technology savvy versus someone that is not familiar with computers. I have also read every other book of this author. I find this book to be the starting book into the author philosophy. This book will help you understand other books that may be more difficult without this base knowledge such as The New Earth. There are several other spiritual teachers, but this Author is the only one that is truly effective that contains substance making a difference in my life. Other authors always leave me with nothing, lot’s of words that don’t lead anywhere.This book was given to me from a friend and it was the best experience ever that changed my life. I am glad she pushed me to start reading it, because I kept it on my bookshelf for weeks. Once I started reading it I was astonished and since then my life changed, my eyes were opened. However, not everyone is ready to understand. I have tried sharing it with some other people, but not everyone was able to read it. Since my background of meditation, spirituality, and introspection, this book came easy to read and understand. For me this book was the missing block from my spiritual path.Thanks Eckhart Tolle for helping humans make it to the next stage of consciousness.Good luck and I hope that anyone coming across this book is ready to discover the realm of non-thinking, non-judging, non-labeling. I would say, this is a non-mystical, clear understanding of what’s behind religions. This can help any person to understand more their religious/spiritual path. The book is neutral, it doesn’t favor any religion over another. It brings everything together into one as it should be.My message to everyone:Gaining more knowledge doesn’t make people wise. Wisdom should be developed in pair with knowledge. Too much thinking stresses you out. Practice meditation. Discover the ego in you (we all have it), but you don’t have to listen to it. The mind wants to think taking you away from what you are currently doing. Be aware of compulsive-recurring thoughts that are draining your energy. You should be able to stop the flow of thoughts, regain energy, feel at peace, in between daily tasks. This will bring wisdom in your actions. Otherwise, stress can only led you to poor results, poor performance, poor outcome. Empower yourself with gaps of non-thinking, which will make you experience FREEDOM. That’s were you can find freedom, in your head only. It’s nice to stop the mind flow of thoughts. You’ll feel light, free, happy, and worry-free. Otherwise, your mind keeps generating thoughts causing you to be slave of recurring/compulsive thinking. That’s why people drinks or get drugs (legal and illegal), to experience freedom from your mind that never stop stressing you out. Alcohol causes more issues than benefits, same as some drugs. Learn how to become free from your mind and from addictions. Then you can start enjoy life and express yourself at your full potential. This book is a pointer to freedom. Here is the door, can you open it and discover what’s in it?

The Power of Now is one of those rare books that feels both simple and profound. Eckhart Tolle’s writing is clear and approachable, yet it carries a depth that invites you to slow down and reflect on each page. The main message — that real peace and freedom are found in the present moment — is explained in a way that’s practical and applicable to daily life.I especially loved how the book blends spiritual wisdom with everyday examples. It’s not abstract or overly complicated; instead, it encourages small shifts in awareness that can make a big difference in how you experience life. I found myself pausing often, re-reading passages, and even applying them immediately when I felt stressed or overwhelmed.If you’re looking for a book that inspires calm, clarity, and a fresh perspective on life, this is a must-read. It’s one I know I’ll revisit again and again.

これを読んでから雑念が大幅に減り、思考がとてもスッキリしました。全ての苦しみは未来と過去からくると説いており、非常に共感しました。今ここにある事だけが全て。大変おすすめです。

Este libro a cambiado mi vida. Si lo compras, cuidado para no pararte demasiado pronto. Los primeros capítulos son un poco raros, hablando de temas de energía y tal. Pero el mensaje principal, que Eckart Tolle te lo explica como nadie, es como cambiar tu vida y vivir el presente más intensamente, y en consecuencia ser más feliz. Para mi, este libro a cambiado todo. Hoy casi no me enfado, o tengo rabia o ninguna de estas emociones auto destructivas, que si lo piensas no tiene sentido ninguno tenerlas.

Uno dei migliori libri sul potere dello stare nel qui e ora. Per me è di quei libri che, una volta letto, lo rileggi e sai che lo terrai per sempre in libreria per darci un’occhiata di tanto in tanto, meraviglioso, grazie Eckhart Tolle!
