“It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living.”
- Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now
The Power of Now
A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
ECKHART TOLLE
There is a reason that The Power of Now has become a global phenomenon.
The Power of Now is one of those rare books with the ability to change our lives for the better. Little wonder that it’s been read by millions in 45+ languages and is recognized as one of the most influential spiritual books of our time.
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.
“This book was an absolutely fantastic read and is what I would consider “life-changing”. It made me realize I was focusing on things that don’t matter in my life, instead of living in the never-ending present moment. This present moment, known as life, is beautiful. It is truly gorgeous and this book really shed light on how grand it is.”
Eckhart Tolle
World-renowned spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle conveys simple wisdom that transcends any particular religion or doctrine.
His bestselling books are modern classics in the field of personal growth and spirituality and he is widely recognized as one of the most inspiring and visionary spiritual teachers in the world today. The New York Times has described him as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States”, and the Watkins Review named him “the most spiritually influential person in the world”.
A native of Germany, Eckhart Tolle attended the University of London, and upon graduation went on to become a research scholar and supervisor at Cambridge University. At 29, a profound spiritual awakening virtually dissolved his personal identity and sparked a radical change in the course of his life. It marked the beginning of an intense inward journey and he devoted the next decade to understanding, deepening, and integrating that transformation.
With his international bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth, has introduced millions to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. His teachings focus on the significance and power of presence and finding an awakened state of consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking.
For the past twenty-two years, he has acted as a counselor and spiritual guide, facilitating sold-out groups in Europe and North America. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
“Don’t look for peace. Don’t look for any other state than the one you are in now; otherwise, you will set up inner conflict and unconscious resistance. Forgive yourself for not being at peace. The moment you completely accept your non-peace, your non-peace becomes transmuted into peace. Anything you accept fully will get you there, will take you into peace. This is the miracle of surrender”
