Eckhart Tolle is emerging as one of today's most inspiring teachers. In The Power of Now, a #1 national bestseller, the author describes his transition from despair to self-realization soon after his 29th birthday. Tolle took another ten years to understand this transformation, during which time he evolved a philosophy that has parallels in Buddhism, relaxation techniques, and meditation theory but is also eminently practical.

In The Power of Now he shows readers how to recognize themselves as the creators of their own pain, and how to have a pain-free existence by living fully in the present. Accessing the deepest self, the true self, can be learned, he says, by freeing ourselves from the conflicting, unreasonable demands of the mind and living "present, fully and intensely, in the Now."

  • Read for a course I'm taking. Some interesting ideas, but nothing I would fully incorporate into my personal philosophy. Tolle seems like a real human being though, which is rare in writers of these kinds of books (at least the ones I've read).

    This is an eye-opening book through a series of question-and-answers from the author's teaching experience.

    You will feel the familiarity of the "Now" concept, but it is still hard to grasp how to let go of the past and the future and keep going with your "normal" life. A lot of past experiences need to be relearned to be able to understand the point of this book. It's difficult for us not to think about those agonies and pains once they are dwelt on your body and soul.
