Publisher's summary

Celebrating 25 Years as a New York Times Bestseller — Over 16 Million Copies Sold

It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 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 listeners 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.

Shorter audiobooks are also great for commutes and for doing tasks around the house because you can get lost in a listen without getting left on a cliffhanger. If you're looking for your next listen, we've rounded up some of the best audiobooks under eight hours across different genres.

FAVORITE/ BEST BOOK OF ALL TIME !!!

among the many thousands of spiritual books, this one proves (to me) to be THE MOST useful, the most simple to apply on a regular basis and so change one's life. There are limitless spiritual practices and techniques, yet becoming centered in the NOW is the only only way to realize every truth, love and wisdom. in Now realization, the elusive goal of Awakening happens naturally, almost automatically. And therefore it can be sustained CONTINUALLY. (Finally! :-)

wonderful!

Eckhart is a very gifted teacher and a speaker. I feel like he is speaking right to the listener and in this question answer format a lot of common questions were taking into account and answered very skillfully. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the book, so much so that I listened to it twice now! I probably will have this on my list for a very long time...since it is a practice after all! I specifically like how he drew on different text from different religions, which shows the inherent oneness of truth across time and region. I feel that his plea to listeners of religions that they are thinking of abandoning or converting from is wonderful, realizing that truth is also found in your birth religion. I definitely feel closer to my goal of being more present and have come away with in valuable tools.

Power of presence...no words

I say no words because I thought of amazing, incredible etc & wasn’t sure if those words were good enough...this books information & practices could change the world...but the commitment & dedication to it has to be daily...your main goal over your career, your family, over everything in life should be to stay present...life situations become easier...5 stars
