Wow. This is a life changing book. My only criticism is that Tolle is a theorist and so doesn't give many applicable examples of how to use the theories in real life. This I've had to do on my own. But this book is well worth the read. Here's the rub: you can read it and do nothing or you can read i ... (continue)

Let go your ego, pain body and roles. Empty your mind. Immerse in the Joy of Beings.

Comparatively, I like Power of Now more, probably because of the enlightenment it brings while this book is only a further elaboration of the former. This book is also a bit dogmatic and, in my ow opinion, over elaborated. The Road Less Travelled could be a better book even though the two books are not exactly on the same topic.

This book was such a great link into some understanding of life and spirituality that I was missing. Gave me clarity and strength. I liked much better than the first one Tolle wrote. I strongly suggest it!

Honestly folks, I am not big on self-help books, and despite all my reading around the Beats, Beatniks, Bohemians and other alternative cultures of the last two centuries, I am not that easily able to swallow the direct message of tuning in, turning on and dropping out; I observe this as history, but I generally don't participate.</p><p>Tolle has something though. If you get this book and you find it initially woolly, touchy-feely, obscure, superficial or trite - well, you may soon realize it's your ego trying its best to spit out the medicine it is being forced to imbibe.</p><p>Tolle will soon be landing rabbit punches to your ego, delivering them in velvet gloves. Your ego will probably not get up after the count but your essential self will happily throw in the towel as far as our idiotically dog-eat-dog world is concerned, step out of the arena we have forced ourselves to maul in, and go and do something much, much more enlightened instead.

Even if this guy turns out to be a crackpot, he is a highly imaginative, abstract one. Entertaining self help, as strange as that sounds.
