The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

by Eckhart Tolle

(Paperback)

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 symbolize \"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

Practicing the Power of Now: Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises from The Power of Now

by Eckhart Tolle

(Hardcover)

This manual-style book instantly dives into Eckhart Tolle\'s principles of \"living in the moment,\" which could be a jarring experience for readers who haven\'t read his preceding book, The Power of Now. For the initiated, though, this makes an excellent companion guide--rich in exercises and meditations to help readers get out of their minds so they can live more peacefully in their bodies. Sometimes it\'s hard to fathom what on earth Tolle is talking about: \"To regain awareness of Being and to abide in that state of \'feeling-realization\' is enlightenment.\" Be patient. All concepts will be revealed (or at least more carefully explained). Ultimately, Tolle leads readers into a new form of thinking (or actually not thinking) that erases the consuming habits of waiting, worrying, and being in fear. The first step is ending the \"delusion of time.\" He asks, \"Are you always trying to get somewhere other than where you are? ... Is most of your doing just a means to an end?\" If so, Tolle has a book full of advice for you. As simplistic as this may sound, Tolle\'s work has spiritual merit and depth, especially for frantic Westerners who find their lives diminished by packed schedules and busy-ness. --Gail Hudson

Stillness Speaks

by Eckhart Tolle

(Hardcover)

Expanding on his mantra—Get out of your head and into the moment—Eckhart Tolle offers this new book on living in the now. Here Tolle emphasizes the art of \"inner stillness\"--the place where thoughts, ego and attachments fall always and we are left only with what the moment has to offer: \"When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world.\" Don\'t expect this to be a quick skim or even a straight-through read. Like his previous bestselling book The Power of Now, Tolle uses brief entries and numerous white spaces to give readers easy in-and-out access into enticing spiritual insights that expound on inner stillness, such as learning the difference between surrender and resignation, overcoming the fear death, and how to end suffering. In fact, this is designed to be an ongoing conversation. Pick it up any time or any place, but be sure to allow for plenty of breaks for serious contemplation. Even as you occasionally abandon the book, don\'t abandon the teachings, pleads Tolle. Embracing and practicing inner stillness is no longer a luxury, he writes, \"but a necessity if humankind is not to destroy itself. At the present time the dysfunction of the old consciousness and the arising of the new are both accelerating. Paradoxically things are getting worse and bett! er at the same time, although \'the worse\' is more apparent because it makes so much noise.\" Devotees who have read all of Tolle\'s books and audio tapes probably won\'t find new ideas or information here. But they may appreciate the refresher course --revisiting familiar concepts in a slightly different package. --Gail Hudson
