I will say that sometimes this book is a difficult read, but I do like Eckhart Tolle. I have read "Stillness", and a third of "The Power of Now". I've read enough of the latter book to come up with certain conclusions. Tolle derives his ideas from the New Testament, Krishnamurti, and a lot from Z

I purchased this item thinking it was authentic. I was wrong. It kept asking me to register it everytime i opened it up. So i called Adobe annd had them run the serial number for verification and it came back invalid. The seller made a prompt refund, and had excellent communication. It was just

Contrary to all the rave reviews, I found this book to be an ego trip that didn't open my mind or my emotions to any new thoughts. While the rough cut pages and the binding are 5-star quality, the content was not for me.

Product Description:

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

It's no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 2 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 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 paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.

Eckhart Tolle is emerging as one of today's most inspiring teachers. In The Power of Now, already a word-of-mouth bestseller in Canada, the author describes his transition from despair to self-realization soon after his 29th birthday. Tolle took another ten years to understand this transformation, during which time he evolved a philosophy that has parallels in Buddhism, relaxation techniques, and meditation theory but is also eminently practical. In The Power of Now he shows readers how to recognize themselves as the creators of their own pain, and how to have a pain-free existence by living fully in the present. Accessing the deepest self, the true self, can be learned, he says, by freeing ourselves from the conflicting, unreasonable demands of the mind and living present, fully, and intensely, in the Now.

It is definitely a good book...

I will say that sometimes this book is a difficult read, but I do like Eckhart Tolle. I have read "Stillness", and a third of "The Power of Now". I've read enough of the latter book to come up with certain conclusions. Tolle derives his ideas from the New Testament, Krishnamurti, and a lot from Zen. Of course, Zen traces its thinking to Hinduism and Vedantic thought. Tolle's thinking is mostly Zen and touches onto the yogic concept that all people are connected through their thoughts and is for a sort of Cosmic union, one person at a time i.e. we need to be each other's salvation. I do agree with him that many people have misinterpreted Jesus (Yeshua) who grew up in Roman Palestine which had a lot of Hellenic philosophical influence which was also influenced by the East. Some have said that Tolle is Buddhism repackaged, but these people who are being indignant are not realizing that Buddhism in a sense is Hinduism or Vedanta repackaged, one could allege. Unlike mainstream Buddhism, Eckhart's writings are rather theistic. I am not sure what to think of Eckhart being labeled enlightened. I supposed that's done to have people read his works.
That's the only thing that sort of bothers me. I don't necessarily agree with all of his Biblical interpretations, but a lot of it makes sense.
Your mainstream Christian, Jew, or Muslim won't agree with much of Eckhart's thinking. All the religions connect in some way. Christians in Egypt used a rosary to venerate Mary. They used the same name Hindus use for their rosary which is a mala. Religions changed to be adapted to different locales, but they are all connected in a way. We all have one consciousness, but we get all trapped in the forms.

I have so enjoyed these CDs. The material is fascinating to me. Easy to understand - but it takes practice to be able to do. I will listen to these over and over!

really, this is amazing. A little deep and maybe hard to grasp if you (or your ego) are not ready for the message but it is life changing. Really
