    About this audiobook

    Open yourself to the transforming experience of The Power of Now, the acclaimed bestseller by revolutionary spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle. To make the journey into the Now we will need to leave our analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. From the very first page of Eckhart Tolle's extraordinary book, we move rapidly into a significantly higher altitude where we breathe a lighter air. We become connected 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.” Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle uses simple language and an easy question and answer format to guide us. A word of mouth phenomenon since its first publication, The Power of Now is one of those rare books with the power to create an experience in readers, one that can radically change their lives for the better.

    Editor's Note

    In the moment...

    How often do you worry about the future? Agonize over the past? According to Eckhart Tolle, that’s pretty much all we do. This book teaches how to let go of distracting anxieties we can’t control.

    Eckhart Tolle

    Spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of twenty-nine a profound inner transformation 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. Later, he began to work in London with individuals and small groups as a counselor and spiritual teacher. Since 1995 he has lived in Vancouver, Canada. Eckhart Tolle is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Power of Now (translated into 33 languages) and A New Earth, which are widely regarded as two of the most influential spiritual books of our time. In 2008, A New Earth became the first spiritual book to be selected for Oprah's Book Club as well as the subject of a ten-week online workshop co-taught by Eckhart and Oprah. Eckhart's profound yet simple teachings have helped countless people throughout the world find inner peace and greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of the teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human evolution. An essential aspect of this awakening consists in transcending our ego-based state of consciousness. This is a prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for the ending of violent conflict endemic on our planet. Eckhart is a sought-after public speaker and teaches and travels extensively throughout the world. Many of his talks, intensives and retreats are published on CD and DVD. Most of the teachings are given in English, but occasionally Eckhart also gives talks in German and Spanish. In addition to The Power of Now and A New Earth, Eckhart has written a book designed for meditative reading entitled Stillness Speaks. A book consisting of selections from The Power of Now is also available, entitled Practicing the Power of Now.

      Very relaxing narration. Useful for gaining more self awareness and helpful with my marriage. The interview style is a bit jarring though and seems unnecessary to the content although beneficial.

      Excellent book but the chiming sound makes it almost unlistenable. The narrator has a very soft low voice and that tone is much louder so if you're listening via headphones or have it turned up in the car be warned.

    • 4/5
      There are some seriously low points in this book but I still have to admit it did change the way I think about things and I did really enjoy it—with the exception of the chapter on 'enlightened relationships' which I had to skip. It is quite patronising and loopy in parts but I took it all with a grain of salt and did actually find it quite enlightening and full of interesting ideas.

      This is probably the best single book that I’ve ever come across. Although all teachers come to spirituality from their own point of view.

    • 4/5
      Similar in nature to stoic principles, live and let live, relax and just be, stop being so concerned with doing, thinking is the most common addiction... What I've taken from it so far is a refined understanding of Jesus, the Buddha, Alan Watts even, these underlying ideas that are beyond words and right at the edge of thought, and which are designed to take you beyond that thought and into the euphoria of pure presence. Now, I'm no stranger to this kind of meditation, and it was a welcoming feeling to see that it does have a bit of a description behind its inner workings through books like this.

      But.. is there really never a time for true suffering? "All pain is an illusion" "It is a molecular dance of energy" How can we use these terms while being tortured, I mean maybe it sounds extreme but I want to take these ideas to their limit. How do these spiritual ideas apply to states of extreme suffering?

      Some of it got a little repetitive and I think it could be even shorter, but that's only because I'm already familiar with the subject. As an introduction it does a great job.

      I really did enjoy it, I tried reading this about 8 years ago and wasn’t ready for it. I feel though there is some opinions that are being communicated as undeniable facts without data to substantiate.
