Summary: Underestimates the power of the mind
Review: If you think you can succeed in life by being mindless, you are already thinking. In "Conversations with God", Neale Donald Walsch says: "Thought is the parent of all things." Read this book and Optimal Thinking: How to Be Your Best Self to get the total picture.

Summary: Tolle shoulda' picked another reader besides himself
Review: I enjoyed the book, for a time anyways, The Power of Now (it has since degenerated into The Power of Then). But as soon as I heard Tolle's voice, the knowledge and enjoyment I previously had gleaned just kinda' deflated and balloon-farted out the window. His heavily accented German is hard to understand and makes it an effort in heavy concentration to listen to and just peacefully enjoy. My wife was similarly let down upon hearing his somewhat high-pitched and most assuredly not-ready-for-prime-time reciting voice.

Summary: two levels
Review: Eckhart essentially describe two levels of experiencing existence available for humans:Higher level: Stillness
Direct the focus ou your attention into the now and become intensely conscious of the present moment. Be totally present. Do not let any thought to arrive and stay present. Become aware of a silent and spacious sense of presence, a sense of peace. Success in contacting this level is measured by the degree of peace felt. This level has not limit in depth. Lower level: Thinking
Thinking creates time and self, the essential components of the lower level. The lower level is constantly and compulsively analyzing plans, regrets, ego defenses, conflicts, and indeed, problems. Anxiety, uneasiness, paranoia, oppression, and other painful emotions accompany problems. Problems and painful emotions exist only in the lower level, as they are created by thinking. Thinking and identification with thinking keep you limited to the lower level. Therefore, if you have no thinking, you also have no time, no self, no problems,and no pain.

Summary: Now
Review: If you dwell on the past, or worry about the future, you ruin today. Three books I've read deal with this simple truth. This one, in which it does it wonderfully, and two other just as delightful books: The Little Guide To Happiness, and Present Moment awareness. Don't wait for things, today is a present, unwrap it. So is this book!

Summary: Right here, right now.
Review: No one can make you live a happy life, you have to want to. I think this book will open the door for happier lives to many people, it did for me. By living in the present it helps free us from the past and future worries which have already happened or we will have no control over anyway. This book made me really stop and think about my life and what I really want. Also check out the book Rat Race Relaxer: Your Potential & The Maze of Life.

Summary: A Life Changer
Review: Tolle presents what has been presented by many others from a challenging and new point of view. I especially liked the question-answer format. It cuts right to the point and has no fluff. His style is straight forward, no mush. The book is basically in three parts: how he got here, his philosophy, how to apply his ideas. Some people want to cut right to part three, but I think the whole is better than the parts when you are first being introduced to his philosophy. I would urge people to read this book first and then go to the next "Practicing" later for something to carry around for easy referral. Like others have said, his work has changed my life - especially how I handle my relationships, letting go of things and living in forgiveness NOW. Overall, very powerful, but his words will only work for you if you are ready to hear them.

Summary: Breakthrough book!
Review: I have been a Buddhist monk myself, and while Eckhart Tolle's teaching has parallels to the Buddhist Mindfulness practice, he manages to explain things in a clear and very useful manner you very very rarely find. I follow the Hermetic path as well, but I find that the teachings in this book are extremely beneficial and powerful to use in every day life. Thank you to Eckhart Tolle for expounding these timeless teachings so well. They can truly transform your life in the deepest sense, and they can do it here and now. You don't have to wait for this or that thing, relationship, or spiritual breakthrough, as the ego so often wants you to believe.

Summary: This is worth listening too.
Review: I learned some very interesting lessons from listening to the audio version of this book. It was ver thought provoking and provided some great insight into outselves. It is another approach in providing people a way to "wake up" and realize what they are really doing with their lives. Griff ...
