The Power of Now is a guide to spiritual awakening from a man who is emerging as one of this generation’s clearest, most inspiring teachers on the subject. Eckhart Tolle is not aligned with any particular religion but does what all the great masters have done: shows that the way, the truth, and the light already exist within each human being. There is no need to look elsewhere. At the heart of this book is Tolle’s own story of early despair that culminated in a life-transforming experience of enlightenment at the age of twenty-nine. He emerged to share insights on the perils of the mind, the power of the present, and the accessibility of one’s true nature. According to Tolle, “To regain awareness of Being and to abide in that state of ‘feeling-realization’ is enlightenment.”
New World Library is the authorized publisher of The Power of Now.
