Rating: Summary: Powerful and simple Review: This is a book I WON'T loan to my friends; they'll have to buy their own. If you only read one book on spiritual enlightenment, make it this one. You'll feel its power the minute you pick it up. Then the pleasure begins...
Rating: Summary: CUTTING EDGE OF SPIRITUAL MOVEMENT! Review: This book literally blew me away with its freshness, incisiveness,and clarity. In my opinion it cuts through all the guff of anyother religious or spiritual doctrine one can imagine, and synthesizes the real essences of these teachings into oneutterly powerful, breathtakingly well-written exposition ofthe true meaning of spiritual enlightenment. Even thoughI already have a copy that I share with my wife, I plan toorder my own personal copy to take with me where-ever I go; for the effect that reading merely a page or two hasis to literally and instantly jolt one out of the time-focussedinsanity of the ego, into the source of all infinite power - the present moment, in a way that no other book has evercome close to doing. Even though I am an avid reader,I don't think I will ever need to seek out any more bookson spiritual enlightenment, now that I have this one: Thisis the REAL McCoy.
Rating: Summary: Extremely clear and practical book Review: Eckart Tolle surpasses almost every spiritual guide I've read up to now. His simplicity, clarity and sincerity transform this book in nothing less than what its subtitle claims: A guide to spiritual enlightenment. If you're interested in the subject, don't miss it !
Rating: Summary: An epiphany Review: I've been searching since graduating from college with degrees in history and philosophy in 1987. This is the best book I have ever read.
Rating: Summary: the power of now Review: Enlightenment is rarely a one-time experience, but rather is accomplished by degrees. The author has great clarity and the book communicates this consistently to readers, no matter their levels of understanding. This is an exceptional feat! The book simultaneously is extraordinarily readable by the reader, and able to be utilized readily for ones own growth. I find it not only helpful for myself, thus, but in relation to supporting others in their development. Subject matter of profound natures are communicated extraordinarily succinctly!Bravo, Eckhart Tolle!

When one comes upon the truth, one knows it ..... you will find yourself saying again and again .... Yes that's right! A must read ... not only provides enlightenment but also provides practical ways of putting it in practice. This book truly has the potential to transform your life !

Rating: Summary: The Most Powerful Book I've Ever Read Review: This book has lightened my life in a way no other book has. It is not only the best book we've ever published (in my opinion), but the most powerful, life-changing book I've ever read.We first heard about the book from one of our distributors in Canada, Barbara Dempsey. She said it had become her single best-selling book -- and she distributes books by Deepak Chopra, Shakti Gawain, and Lousie Hay, among many others. "The Power of Now" had that elusive word-of-mouth quality that only a very few remarkable books have. I got a copy of the original edition, published only in Canada, and it had an instant impact on me. From the first page of his writing, it is clear that Eckhart Tolle is a contemporary master. He is not aligned with any particular religion or doctrine or guru; his teaching embraces the heart, the essence, of all other traditions, and contradicts none of them. He is able to do what all the great masters have done: to show us, in simple and clear language, that the way, the truth, and the light is within us. A state of enlightenment is attainable, here and now. It is possible to live free of suffering, free of anxiety and neurosis. To do this, we have to come to understand our role as creator of our pain -- our own mind, with its constant stream of thoughts, thinking about the past, worrying about the future, causes our problems, not other people, not "the world out there." We make the great mistake of identifying with our mind, thinking our thoughts and feelings are the sum total of who we are, when in fact we are far greater beings. Eckhart Tolle's words are far more clear and eloquent than mine. His book is a complete guide in meditation and realization. It is a book that many people, including me, will want to study for a lifetime. It has the power to change our lives, here and now, and to awaken us to fully realize that we are vast and eternal beings, far greater than we think we are.
