The Power of Now
5.0 (211 ratings)
8 mins
Drawing from a variety of spiritual traditions and the depths of a personally experienced “inner transformation,” “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle is, self-professedly, a guide to spiritual enlightenment. The book advocates severing the ties with your incessantly wandering pain-addicted mind to access the power of the present moment – the only place where life is actually happening.

About the Author
Eckhart Tolle – born Ulrich Leonard Tölle – is a German spiritual teacher, widely considered the most popular spiritual author in the United States. At the age of 29, in the middle of his doctoral studies at Cambridge, he went through an inner transformation that profoundly altered his worldview. All of his books – “The Power of Now,” “A New Earth,” and “Stillness Speaks” – have grown out of this experience.
