"As the author of a series of spiritually-themed novels, I am always on the outlook for spiritual books that help broaden my perspective. This book was recommended to me and I am delighted that I took up the suggestion.
This is a book that will speak to any spiritual searcher regardless of their religious background. Mr. Tolle provides the tools that will empower you to transform your life. Practicing awareness of the present moment allows one to appreciate each passing moment as well as providing a means for letting go of thoughts and emotions that do not serve one's sense of joy. By staying present to the moment one can also reduce anxiety connected to future concerns.
I always keep the book on hand when I'm traveling in order to reflect upon it whenever I have a spare moment. I am currently reading the book for the second time and I continue to gain new insights from the book and from my life as a result of reading it and practicing its principles.
Davis Aujourd'hui, author of "The Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude""
"I loved this book--it is superior to its much-lauded successor, The New Earth. Though I was careful to weed out Tolle's opinions which clash with my religious beliefs and convictions, I found most of them fell into place very eloquently with what I would consider eternal truths. But best of all, he taught me a way to quiet my thoughts, which tend to run me ragged! This book is full of good advice about how to rid yourself of your own hurtful, negative habits. I recommend it very much. I read EAT,PRAY,LOVE , which I loved for different reasons, right before I read this book. The former taught some about the Hindu means of achieving enlightenment, which was interesting, but somewhat confusing. Both focus on meditation, as a means of reaching the stillness through which the divine can be accessed, so I think reading them together added to my experience. Stephen L. Tanner, a fantastic teacher at BYU whom I learned of a few years ago, once wrote that finding stillness is our purpose here on earth, and now I believe and understand this principle on a much higher level. I plan to read THE POWER OF NOW again right away."
"This book basically preaches one of the main tenets of Buddhism: the principle of no-thought and immersing one's awaraness in the present moment as both the past and the future are just an illusion. There is nothing extraordinary or groundbreaking about it, and it doesn't say anything really new. However, it does explain some fundamental principles, avoiding the vague and winding style of most Buddhist writings. It could have been a good introduction to some basic, practically applicable psychological and phylosophical ideas which form the core Buddhism and other spiritual teachings.
However, the author sounds as if he has personally discovered the truth about life, the universe and everything (which, as we all know, has been already revealed by Douglas Adams) and tries to create a pseudo-religious, mystical atmosphere which utterly annoyed me. Tolle turns a book which should have been just a modest, unassuming introduction to some aspects of Buddhism into a self-imporant attempt at preaching and also misinterprets and glorifies the no-thought principle, making rational thought sound as a deadly sin.
Nonetheless, I'm giving it two stars as it is based on some of the most profound principles of Eastern philosophy, even if it's just another mass-market product of the self-help industry.
For someone interested in a westernised interpretation of Eastern philosophy I can only recommend The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Milman, which is based on the same philosophical foundation and is wiser, humbler and more interesting."
"I passed this book dozens of times in my yoga studio back in 2003. It was so popular and its praises so well sung by my yoga teacher, Steve Ross, that I thought it must be a bunch of new age mumbo jumbo. I didn't want to read it because I thought that it would entail jumping on some Los Angeles hippy bandwagon.
I opened myself up to Eckhart Tolle after watching him on Oprah's Spirit Channel and I'm so glad that I did. This book is really great. It contains such simple philosophy that is so hard to practice in our Western society. I hate to say something banal like "it changed my life," but I am really hoping that it did. I will definitely be referring back to it often."
