Product Description
Surrender to the present moment, where problems do not exist. It is here we find our joy, are able to embrace our true selves and discover that we are already complete and perfect. This title demonstrates how to live a healthier and happier life by living in the present moment.
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

 Good read ... for those who are ready for it July 18, 2010
H S Pwr (UK)
I gave this book 5 stars out of 5 because I feel that's what it deserves. You don't really have to be religious, spiritual or anything to realise any truth in it.
Nothing's perfect so I wouldn't say this book is 100% free of flaws, but most of it resonated for me and made me realise that I have created my own problems in life. It's not a case of saying yeah that was me and that was other people, and I don't care. More so it made me realise it's simply just egos colliding and reacting to each other, any friction at all. If someone murdered me tomorrow it would be their ego that done it. It would simply be, why get all egotistical and wound up about something that hasn't happened? That kind of attitude.
If you're here deciding whether to buy it or not, search of some free Eckhart Tolle videos online, watch them, if it resonates with you consider buying this book. Don't bother just reading a review and taking any positive or negative review to make your mind. Watch a free video for yourself. Or get the ebook, thats free, simply google it. (I prefer hard copies for quick reference and annotation)

 An invitation to try a little experiment July 10, 2010
Caufrier Frederic (Belgium)
A quote and an invitation to try a little experiment:
Close your eyes and say to yourself: 'I wonder what my next thought is going to be'. Then become alert and wait for the next thought. Be like a cat watching a mouse hole. What thought is going to come out of the mouse hole?
And that is what this book is about...the "here and now" moments in our lives and the importance of it.
This is a good introduction to the basics of awareness actually and great to read if you just started with meditation and wanted to have some background information. It is a nice starter to go for and a great motivator to explore meditation further.

 too over the top nonsense July 3, 2010
Milli (uk)
I love reading books for personal development and this was a CD I bought after seeing so many good reviews. It is all too much of airy-fairy talk with no practical use. I do agree that being in the now is a important thing to do but too much emphasise is being put on being in the now. The solution is all problems is being in the now. Any question asked, the solution is about being in the now. Got a bit fed up of the repetetion. I like books which give me a much more flexible humanistic views rather than unachievable divine standards which set you up to fail. Sorry!
