The Power of Now

After reading 80 books in last 2 years i finally found one of the best spiritual books! First i chased financial fredom, even after getting it, i wasn't happy. Then started my search for spiritual books for last 2 years , read a lot of good books but when i finally read Power of Now, my all doubts were cleared. I gave up the attraction of money and anything. I was at peace with myself. I started looking world from different angle. THis is a must read book and i don't know why i didnt read it earlier when it ws coming on my feed. Although one will have to execute the teaching in this book as one is theory and one is execution. But the theory is an eye opener. It's like physics which will explain you why you are here and why you are not at peace. Why "Now" is the only important thing in this whole world. If you live in now, there is no fear no pain, no resistance! Edit: I don't know whether it was a coincidence or what but within a month or two after this book, i experienced a big wave of vibration during my meditation and since then it's continued. I never thought that i will meditate for 1-2 hours daily but now it's happening automatically. I believe books have their own enrgy and when one completely understands and graspa the book, some of the energy is transfered. I am super happy and now this book has become my go to reference.

*The Power of Now* by Eckhart Tolle is a profound guide to spiritual awakening and living fully in the present moment. The book emphasizes the importance of detaching from the past and future, which are often the sources of stress and anxiety, and instead focusing on the "now," where true peace and enlightenment reside. Tolle explains how our ego-driven minds constantly distract us with worries and regrets, preventing us from experiencing the true essence of life. Through practical advice and deep insights, *The Power of Now* encourages readers to break free from the mental traps that keep them from experiencing joy and inner peace. It’s an essential read for anyone seeking a more mindful, fulfilled life.

I really liked the FAQ sort of read. It is a quick and enjoyable read. Almost every other page has some highlights on it. It literally made a drastic change in the way of life and I started becoming aware of my surroundings a lot.

This book provides an interesting perspective on spiritual topics. I found it very useful and would recommend it to people who are interested in spirituality

This book awakens the readers that Dwelling on past pains and future worries does nothing good for you. How living in present fully can create a pain free life. This book also provides strategies and methods on how to control your mind and live in the present moment. Here are few highlighters which I really like in this book: It is more about to, Realize deeply that present moment is all you ever have. Make the now the primary focus of your life. To accept the present moment with grace as it is and without resistance. Being in present is being liberated and is the way to experience the source of creation. Whenever some form of negativity arises within you, look on it NOT as a failure, but as the Helpful signal that it is telling you 'Wake up & GET OUT OF YOUR MIND. BE PRESENT.' The miracle is, vastness and emptiness that exists in the space also exists inside you. This book takes readers on inspirational and spiritual journey that connects the readers to their deepest true self. It helps in realising true human potential to reach ultimate personal growth and spirituality. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wanted to improve their quality of this moment of life and to evolve spiritually.

This book has made me realise that my mind is my prison. More I think without knowing I am thinking, more mess I tend to leave behind. By being an observer, I am already starting to stop my thinking process before it goes wild. It is a start but I know what to do.

There has been a barrage of books about Spirituality and Self-help in recent years and books have been written from East to the West. But luckily the theme mostly remains the same. Which is to stay that at least there is some sort of consensus amongst writers and seekers as to what is essential and what is not. Although the path to achieve that could be different for different cultures, sects, and religions. The Power Of Now deals with one and only one thing that is, how living in now can alleviate most of our problems. This is not the first book that I have read on this topic. A lot about living in now has been written in Zen articles and other books. But the biggest question that you might end up asking after reading any such book is, how practical is it? Tolle writes in the preface that when this book came out it wasn’t appreciated or understood by many and Time magazine could only see it as “Mumbo-jumbo” written about spirituality. And I can very well understand why people who read it back then would have had such a reaction. Today after there has been so much open discussion about these topics and so much literature floating around in the world, some of the words and phrases used by Tolle still seem Mumbo-Jumbo to me. I have no doubt that the author has had great experience and learnings based on which he has written this book. But I don’t like the book much. First, the Q&A format is not conducive to reading. It would have been better if the terms and basic facts would have explained adequately first and in the end, could have dedicated a section for Q&A. Second, its a dry read without examples, parables or stories which makes it difficult to grasp the concepts that the book mentions. Third, the book deals a lot in the abstract. It’s like “you delve deep inside yourself and focus on now, and you have achieved peace.” It’s not easy for a person to undo his years of rote learnings of how to be a better human and achieve whatever you are saying. The book is not at all practical. There have been a few other books and articles on this topic by Buddhist Monks and Zen masters which are much better in terms of making you understand the power of now. Also, the points that are mentioned in the book are drawn a lot from the East. Even the Indian and Chinese spirituality guides talk a lot about this topic and explain it in a much better manner.

This is the first spiritual book I have completed reading. Reading this book is a great experience. After reading for the first time I feel I should read it again and again to fully grasp all the knowledge. The author first convinced me that I'm not the only one facing this problem all my life. It's infact everyone is suffering from the same problem and is seeking solution. So this book resonated very well with me. And guides and clarifies on how to solve the problem heads on. Clearly a lot of work has been done on the book. Every doubt that may arise from the solution is being thought and already answered in question and answer format through out the book. Ah! And finally the problem the helps us to solve is "How to get rid of the random thoughts/running commentary running always in your head to fully experience life in the NOW" A great read if implemented in one's life will give immense joy to everylife on earth.

Muy buen libro, pero habrá que leerlo más de una vez porque hay mucho que asimilar.

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。

Deep consciousness enlightenment, inner peace is felt as one reads! It is a book to revisit over and over again!

Thank you Eckhart for this awesome book you wrote. It helped me so much! I am going to buy the paperback edition (I read it on Kindle). I totally suggest it to anyone who is on a spiritual path. I love you guys!

Excelente mensaje, lo recomiendo ampliamente. Yo lo leí hace un año y me fascinó, éste lo pedí para regalo de Navidad. En esta edición me gustó que es de portada dura, un diseño bonito, clásico y elegante. El que lo recibió puso una sonrisa al desenvolverlo. Me gustó también que me llegó en caja, no sé si fue por ser envío internacional, pero siento que así no se maltrató, ya que por lo general otros libros me han llegado en bolsa.
