Amazon.com Review
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
Product Description
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.

 Absolutely the best! November 22, 2008
I Love all his books- Mr. Tolle is So inspirational. This books speaks truths to my soul that are life changing.
The Power of Now November 22, 2008
In this life-changing book, Tolle explains how mankind lives primarily in the future or the past. We are always either looking toward to the future for fulfillment or are overwhelmed by the past. Tolle elucidates that the only moment we ever have is the present moment. In the presence, Tolle claims, lies the only true power and source of happiness and enlightenment. This book is extremely well-written and enjoyable.

If you are a deep material reader then you will really enjoy Rumi & Self Psychology (Psychology of Tranquility) and Sara's Therapy: A Way to Purity. These books are unique, easy to read, full of information, and just amazing; and you can not put them down.
Nothing new....and Nothing more powerful... November 19, 2008

Being in the moment - but so beautifully explained you'll get there are least once. All of his books are worth reading, and with all of the doing and striving we are involved in, it's nice to just "be" in a health way. Give it a try!
Presence, Peace, and Joy November 18, 2008
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.
