About this ebook

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 readers 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.

I had it in audio, and on repeat for a long period. I worked on 4 agreements (on repeat ;)) for 5 years, and it was life changing for me and people around me, whom suddenly found a habit of taking advice from me, some of them still thanks me for what i told them years ago...but in some point I was stucked , I knew there is much but I was unable to go deeper and untie bigger issues, till this book came along and shifted my percpective to whole another level, it also significantly unblocked and changed my understanding on 4 agreements...helped me with some physical and old pains, And started a new chapter in my life. Wish the best for you, Ekhart

Life changing. Exactly the message I needed right now. It's not that I didn't consider myself at least a tiny bit awakened, but this book reframed my relationship to the past & future, and gave me tools to attempt to stay present. So many amazing quotes in this work. So glad a friend recommended it to me. 🙏

I have read many books similar to this, but none are as to the point or as clear in conveying the ideas to the reader. While Carlos Castanedas' books introduced the principles of power in cryptic terms, The Power of Now guides the reader in the same direction and tells the reader exactly what steps are needed to accomplish principles and guidelines introduced in the Castaneda books. It has been a while since I have read The Power of Now, but I opened the book recently and felt a refreshing change of mood and perception from just a few pages. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to achieve a higher state of awareness, or for those who just need a boost from their mood every once in a while.
