Eckhart Tolle
We live far too much in the future and in the past. We completely forget about today. In fact, there is only one moment, the now. Eckhart Tolle is one of the greatest spiritual teachers of our time. Everyone should read his books.
"The Power of Now" is one of those rare books that have the power to lead humanity on a better path. At some point, it lands in your hands. You start reading it and your life begins to change. Step by step, new perspectives open up and you realise what is really important to you. When you have finished, you ask yourself why you have wasted your life so far with so many worries and disappointments. You recognise the futility of our behaviour. There is a better way and it's open to everyone.
On his website eckharttolle.com Eckhart Tolle regularly publishes videos in which he passes on his wisdom. There is a community and events. On YouTube you can find entire lectures and guided meditations that you can listen to for free.
The Power of Now
A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
Eckhart Tolle
To make the journey into the Now, we will need to leave our analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. From the very first page of this extraordinary book, we move rapidly into a significantly higher altitude where we breathe a lighter air. We become connected 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.” Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle uses simple language and an easy question-and-answer format to guide us.
A word-of-mouth phenomenon since its first publication, The Power of Now is one of those rare books with the power to create an experience in readers, one that can radically change their lives for the better. Eckhart Tolle teaches us how our incessant thoughts create the mental and emotional pain we experience. By introducing us to living fully in the present instead of being locked into regrets about our past, anxiety over our current situation, or worry about our future, he guides us into living in the “now,” where problems simply don’t exist.
By awakening us to the spiritual dimension of our lives, The Power of Now enables us to embrace our true self, enter into peace of mind, and find joy in our everyday living.
