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.

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!

Summary: Amazing! ...A book that compels me to write a review
Review: Quite by accident, I picked up this book and very skeptically began to read ..... Boy was I surprised ... this book for me has very eloquently and accurately summed up much of what has been just beneath the surface of my experience. 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 !
