One of the most influential and enduring books of the twenty-first century, Eckhart Tolle’s simple yet transformative guide to peace and fulfillment

New World Library is the authorized publisher of The Power of Now. 

It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 20 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 69 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 edition shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.

Not sure if I got enlightened, but this book definitely connected some major dots for me. I began exploring meditation years ago and later became more interested in psychology. While reading this book, I realized that I had never truly left Eastern philosophy — I had simply been practicing many of the same ideas through the more concrete language of Western psychology. Tolle can be overly philosophical at times, and I do not agree with every claim, but this book changed how I understand my own journey. It took me three months to finish, and the biggest realization came with only about ten pages left. Five stars from Lithuania. 🇱🇹

Normal challenges are not to be disturbed; at all touched, or have own domain entered. It's a master and leader of own life. Breathing is mastered by the toddler year because growing out of the word is the only way to bigger ones behind them. Meditating: yoga, walking and talking the same year provide strength for own schedule of busy people. Combining the words science and religion for 'let there be light" are required for psychiatrist's evaluation result of normal - defends own money well - being. To get normal results from the doctors is the only survival. These is not more from them then normal or not.

I had it in audio, and on repeat for a long period. I worked on 4 agreements (on repeat ;)) for 5 years, and it was life changing for me and people around me, whom suddenly found a habit of taking advice from me, some of them still thanks me for what i told them years ago...but in some point I was stucked , I knew there is much but I was unable to go deeper and untie bigger issues, till this book came along and shifted my percpective to whole another level, it also significantly unblocked and changed my understanding on 4 agreements...helped me with some physical and old pains, And started a new chapter in my life. Wish the best for you, Ekhart
