Life changing!   July 26, 2001

In this day and age when just about every book, film or TV program is lauded as "unbelievable" or "incredible," Tolle's book comes along and actually deserves the praise. Over the years, I have read many new age, pop psychology, spiritual, and self-help books, some of which resonated, some of which did not, all of which left me still hungry, still a bit empty.

Tolle's book is the real deal. I could be wrong, of course, but I cannot imagine ever needing another spiritual guide because Tolle explains our basic nature in such easy, self-evident (but forgotten) terms. Cliches aside, this book truly has changed my life.


A book for skeptics.   July 24, 2001

I admit it, I'm a scientific skeptic and annoyed by "new age speak" and unsubstantiated claims of spiritual powers and enlightenment. So when my girlfriend recommended I read Tolle's book about the "now experience", I was incredulous. However, I quickly realized Tolle's book in a category by its self. No grandiose claims, panacea remedies, or motivational empowerment here. His penetrating insights will make you STOP what you are doing, and I guess that's the point. The "now awareness" Tolle describes is available to everyone (new age seeker, or skeptic). My girlfriend and I have finally found common ground. If nothing else, it's a breath of sanity. Read it before you die.

I have read over 150 self help books over the course of my life. I feel like Tolle sums up everything in one. Profoundly changing my life. So simple yet so deep. I got the books on tape and now every commute is a trip of blissful awareness. The amazing thing too, is that every time I listen to a tape, I hear something new and mindblowing. Any negative review about this book or these tapes is coming from a person who is stuck in their ego and doesn't really want to change for the better. Don't let your ego talk you into passing on this one. The time to hit the shopping cart button is...you guessed it.


The Power Of Now   July 17, 2001

The most profound "How To" book on meditation I have ever read. Mr. Tolle speaks from personal experience as he guides the reader into a deeper encounter with one's own spiritual essence. Then, he lays the groundwork for both reaching a higher conciousness, and bringing hightend awareness into everyday living. Reading this book and listening to it on tape, have been wonderfully powerful and, most rewarding.
