Ekhart 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 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. --Gail Hudson
Description
The Power of Now is a guide to spiritual awakening
from a man who is emerging as one of this generation's clearest, most
inspiring teachers on the subject.
Eckhart
Tolle is not aligned with any particular religion but does what all the
great masters have done: shows that the way, the truth, and the light
already exist within each human being.
There
is no need to look elsewhere. At the heart of the book is Tolle's own
story of early despair that culminated in a life-transforming experience
of enlightenment at the age of 29.
He
emerged to share insights on the perils of the mind, the power of the
present, and the accessibility of one's true nature. According to Tolle,
"To regain awareness of Being and to abide in that state of
'feeling-realization' is enlightenment." |
