Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk 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 symbolise "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

This book is brilliant. It has sent me on a course I am glad to be on. I can see the truth in all of it, and Know it for my self. For all those who are dubious about this, or think it's rubbish, I can sense/see the spirit force in nature, it's very hard to put into words, but I wouldn't replace that for a million quid, I find my self more interested in the nature outside the window than the tv I am watching. Really don't like TV at all now and used to lean on it like most. I sometimes ask whether it's delusional, but know it is not, you just have to experience it for yourself like so many others are. One of the best if not the most important reads of my life. Hope you can see for youself

- Enormously valuable book for sadness, despair and anger.
Hi
I suffered immeasurable depression following my Mum's death 1 month ago. She suffered from Leukaemia and one of the most important aids to her coping with this was Eckart Tolle's The Power of Now - the whole book and the exercises additional book. She kept her brave and honest spirit alive through his words and didnt fear death, she was ready I guess.

I have been trying to get out of my misery - I miss her so much it feels like my heart has been cut out. I have started reading her well-read Eckhart books - as a means to helping myself to simply exist.

I find the practice of 'now' very hard to do, but I am reading and reading it, listening to it on tape and trying hard. Sometimes it works - my own awareness ... Read More:

- The Power of Now
How much of your day is actually spent completely focused in the here and now? When you are working, how often do you find your mind wandering? How much of your time is spent thinking about what you are going to do next weekend or wishing you'd handled a particular situation differently?

The majority of us spend most of our life fixated on the past or worrying about the future. The present is just something that we gloss over until we realize that we missed out on something. Then, we yearn to have that day back.

What we tend to forget is that all we really have is now. The past is gone it no longer exists, except in memory. These experiences can't be changed in any way. Dream or worry about the future as much as you ... Read More:

- Some value here but lacking real insight
Enjoyed this book. A good handbook with lots of practical tips on edging closer to a more peaceful and maybe enlightened state of mind. Very accessible. Tolle has a good way of describing simple ways to gain some release from your ego and of anticipating your ego's resistance to them.

That's the good bit...

His writing style needs a lot of tolerance. Everything is presented as fact and truth. He also has a tendency to drift off into a bizzarre new age language - "it raises the vibrational frequency of the energy field...". Blah blah blah. Equally bizarrely, he talks about the female mentural cycle and death like he has experienced both. Not that I can really talk about it either, but not heard many women describe menstruation ...

- Brilliant
I've never written a review on Amazon before. But I felt compelled to say something about this extraordinary book. I've suffered from depression and anxiety for over a decade and I've tried everything from CBT to psychotherapy to hypnosis. But none of these things have made nearly as much impact as just the first chapter of this book. I have to be honest. I don't agree with everything he says. There is some rather dubious new age stuff in there. But please look past it to the core of the message. This is a very helpful book indeed and a vital addition to the armory of any neurotic.
