Description / Details:
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 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.

Reviews summary: Presence, Peace, and Joy
Comment reviews: This exciting book is not for everyone. It requires an open mind and a fearless curiosity about our true natures as spiritual beings. Building on concepts of the spirituality traditions (Krishnamurti, Biblical texts, others), Tolle extends and explains them in plain English, providing through examples, sacred texts, and observations, the unique association we share with existence, the influence and traps of the mind, and ways to use our bodies as portals to our true essence, which is presence, peace, and joy.

Reviews summary: The Power of Now, Is Taking Control of Your Emotions!
Comment reviews: This book has helped me beyond my belief! We all have emotions, and we cannot help how we feel. Now, imagine if you were able to take control of those emotions, and emerge as a strong and capable leader? We all know that leaders must manage and control their emotions. What do we do if we cannot? How can we learn to manage something that appears so difficult to control?
Its easy! Read this book! The Power of Now explains the "pain body" that exists within our cells. Past hurts stack up over time, and if they are not addressed, they will be expressed. What a relief to learn how to control those emotions that just do not serve us!
Everyone needs to read, understand and apply the concepts in this book!

Reviews summary: The first book thar really worked
Comment reviews: How many times have you purchased a self help/growth book with high expectations? I would usually read the jacket and say, "that's me" or that those are the goals for myself I wish to achieve. I would eventually finish it, put it down and find nothing has changed. For myself, more times than I care to count. This is the first time I have found a book to actually work and show results.
The book is basically about being present. You wouldn't think that more than a few paragraphs would be needed to explain the benefits of being present and the consequences of not being present. However, every sentence in this book provides insight and clarity I wouldn't have thought possible to convey with words.
I find myself reading no more than a page or two at a time, reflecting on what was said, and then putting it into practice. If you read this book like a novel, I believe it would be difficult to fully grasp what the author is saying. My mind has become less busy, I am not as easily distracted, I worry less about the future and negative past events no longer effect me, or at least not as much.
This is the first time I have felt compelled to review a book because this is the first time I have had results. I hope you give it a chance.

Reviews summary: Big stuff
Comment reviews: Although this book may get a bit too far "out there" towards the end for some people, the essential tenets are so profoundly true and helpful, I'd say it is a must read for anyone. The power is all in the now.
