| Synopsis 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.
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
The author shares ideas about personal integration with uncommon
eloquence and a deep understanding of the human condition. Our true
identity is in our moment-to-moment experiences rather than in our past
or future. Concern about anything but the present is an unhealthy
identification with the mind that can only cause pain and an illusion
of control. Being totally aware of ourselves in each moment actually
requires little effort or direction if we stop our thoughts long enough
to find the pure consciousness that exists in the gaps between them.
These ideas will be radical for most Westerners, but they are so
smoothly elucidated that almost all seekers of inner truth will find
something of value in the program. T.W. © AudioFile 2001, Portland,

About the Author
Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany, where he spent the first thirteen
years of his life. After graduating from the University of London, he
was a research scholar and supervisor at Cambridge University. At age
twenty-nine a profound spiritual transformation virtually dissolved his
old identity and radically changed the course of his life. The
next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating and deepening
that transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward
journey. For the past ten years, Eckhart has been a counselor
and spiritual teacher. Through this book, his teaching is now available
throughout the world. He is currently traveling extensively bringing
not only his teaching but his presence to a growing number of
audiences. He has lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, since 1996.
