There are no words that could describe this book! It's the most meaningful and the most important book for your soul/Being/life after the Bible! An absolute must for your awakening! Make sure you get and read the other books by Eckhart Tolle after this one, especially "The New Earth..." !!!!!!!
Review of The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle July 15, 2008

I had heard so much publicity for The Power of Now and truly wondered if the book would hold up to the rave reviews. I am so pleased to say that I am thoroughly enjoying this book. The Power of Now is completely changing how I am walking through this life. Thank you Eckhart Tolle for enlightening me to living in the "Now!"

Eckhart Tolle is an important Spiritual Teacher of our times, and his book "The Power of Now", is absolutely Life Changing.
Best Book Ever July 13, 2008
This book should be required reading for all human beings on this planet! Eckhart Tolle is the most enlightened and well spoken spiritual leader of our time. Anyone at any level of spirituality or stage of enlightened development will enjoy and benefit from reading this book. I got it on audio book too so I can easily inject the teachings into my daily life.

I read this book at a time when I was absolutely delusional. I'm so glad that I suffered through all my neurotic BS for years and years, because if I had been content with what most people consider to be a good life I would have never awakened. Now that I'm beginning to deepen my understanding I thought I'd throw this review up for others to read.
I see how important it is for me to put this out there because nothing matters more than realizing the truth....not accepting some dogma which most people have done and continue to live with their filters which limit their ability to live in reality. Nothing matters more than this (not this book, but what the book may be able to bring about inside yourself); not money, fame, sex/any other shallow pleasure, your ambitions, past, not your family/relationships (not saying they aren't important...but ultimately relationships can be a hindrance if you are ignorant of the nature of their essence), and no idea of happiness or love that the majority of the humans on this planet buy into will make your life meaningful. All of these things may bring you some feeling of importance and acceptance...some pleasure....these pale in comparison to being able to live in wonder, with REAL joy and love.
I had thought I knew what love was....I do now, and I know that most people aren't able to love....but we all have potential. I now know what bliss is...can you feel bliss from owning a big house or landing a lucrative career....can you feel love for everything by "becoming" an educated person with a nice office where you can display how great and smart you are, lining the walls with diplomas, certificates and awards? Will that person (or people) whom you long after completely fulfill you once your long thought out relationship plan comes to fruition? If you reflect on what you have wanted in the past and thought about obtaining and realize that it didn't fulfill you...it might have made you excited and anxious thinking about how great it would be once you got it...but then you get that thing and you loose interest in it...you look for something else you can think about obtaining, and the cycle just keeps you in this confused state of distraction from what is truly significant in life...the ONLY thing which is available to EVERYONE.
I could say the present moment is all there is and how great it is and how everything else is an illusion and give you a logical basis which can't be refuted....but don't take my word for it...find out yourself. Do you know what a spider is?....when you asked "what's that" pointing to a "spider" your Dad might have said..."oh, that's a spider"; so now you can't see the spider, tree, birds or flowers because all you see is their labels. This gets so deep (I haven't fully realized the depth...each day is astonishingly new and insightful) and I want to share this with everyone...and you will too if you realize how trite the "American dream" is.
You can go to school, get a good job, be in happy relationships and buy nice things AND realize that there is more to life....but please do yourself (and the rest of us) a favor and find out what is truly meaningful before you accept that your secure and highly planned out path to successful happiness with all your beliefs, ideas and opinions will hold water. I'm not saying drop your dreams, I'm saying find out what it is that you DO HAVE...that you always have...that you will always have...because you will never have anything else (speaking in the absolute). I hope you find out for yourself and maybe you can help others find out as well...there is nothing better you can do with your life than help someone find out.
