 Now August 13, 2008
The Power of Now is a book that provides inspiration to change the way you think. It has powerful insight and information to transform a persons' perspective and open them up to the spirit within.
 Practice the Power of Now Or the Book is Meaningless August 12, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
There are a lot of reviews on this site debating the truth of the teachings in the Power of Now, whether its statements are true, whether they are valid, whether they are boring, whether they are interesting.
These reviews miss the point of the book. The book is an introduction to a practice - a practice of being in the present, of being centered and still. It gives you the tools to look at your mind, and by looking at the mind, be identified with the awareness that is watching the mind - what Tolle calls the watcher. The more one can do this, the more they find their life improving, and a deeper connection with source, the spirit, their deeper self.
The words of the book are not perfect. The arguments against or for the book and the way the content is presented may have validity. But again, they miss the point. The point is to *use* the tools presented in the book and see what happens to your life, to uncover a deeper meaning to your reality. Without practice, the book is simply another "interesting book", with which the ego mind can judge, evaluate, criticize, adore, adulate, admire etc. for its own reasons.
Put the principles of the book into practice in your life, and then you will *see* the value of the book, its simplicity, power and truth.
Great but difficult August 11, 2008
In-so-far as content, I think this is a great book, because of the importance of what it discusses. For people who have not ever considered spirituality, mind, body, spirit...I think this would be difficult to get through.
This would not be the first book that I would recommend to anyone who maybe seeking "self" knowledge. As the "next" book to read...perhaps...
Life happens when you are busy making other plans August 10, 2008
"To be or not to be, that is the question". Choosing to live in the moment is a process you have to work on, it doesn't come easy. Awareness is the key, as you move on in your day.
To remember that eternity is NOW and that there is no time just moments.
The ego wants, wants, wants and once you detach yourself from yourself you can start living in the NOW. "I AM that I AM".
Root of the EGO: "I think therefore I AM" Descartes. Becoming aware of your thinking, this is "I AM".
The collapsing of the EGO releases the spirit. This is our true identity.

The Power of Now August 9, 2008
Corpse Whisperer
Too often we worry and think ourselves unhappy. The Power of Now talks about just being in the now. It isn't about not planning for the future, but living your life realizing how NOW is important.
I'd reccomend the book for anyone who is searching for what they feel is missing in their life.
