The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment [B1587]

1999 HCDJ in nice clean condition. Celebrating 25 Years as a New York Times Bestseller. It's no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, "the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death." Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I was pretty critical throughout, regarding it as a prime example of New Age mishmash. However, despite myself, I found passages that genuinely moved me. What helped was treating the book as an extended meditation, instead of a philosophical treatise or a standard self-help guide. Yes, it's repetitive, but that actually helped me absorb some key ideas on meditation, presence and acceptance, which are ultimately quite simple but at the same time hard to grasp, since they require practice. The rhythm of the book helped them sink in and stick."; "I read this book two decades ago, and its impact has never really left. It was the first time I encountered the idea that presence wasn't a concept to think about but a place you could actually inhabit. This book opened a doorway into a different way of seeing the world, one that feels less like learning something new and more like remembering something you'd forgotten."; "i feel spiritually enlightened after reading this, good read in the mornings to set the tone for the day."; "Life changing, life altering, life shifting, however you want to put it, Eckhart Tolle is the key to consciousness and every line in this book unlocks a door deeper than the last."
