Book Reviews of Power of Now 2009 Wall Calendar
Book Review: a 'closed book'
Summary: 2 Stars
The first third of this book is fine, then it becomes repetitive and evangelical. If you're looking for 'the answer' and are prepared to blindly take this chaps' word for it then this book is for you. If you are looking for ideas and debate then you'll stop reading this book after a hundred or so pages - this is a 'closed book' as far as debate is concerned.Book Review: The number one book on spirituality and enlightenment
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read literally hundreds of books on inner freedom, spirituality and enlightenment over the last 25 years, but none of them comes close to this one. It is quite simply the best, and easily the most important spiritual book to emerge for decades. It's incredibly profound yet so simple that anyone can understand its message. Eckhart Tolle's words come straight from the source and point directly to the truth of being. You are that!Book Review: Absolute Total New Age rubbish
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very very disapointed by this book. I have studied numerous disaplines such as ericksonian hypnosis and NLP and these give a far better structure to live life by... I also found his idea of forget the past forget the future live in the now to be absurd. Yes dont get couaght up in worrying about the past or futre but if you do as Tolle says you wouldnt know how to function as the way we function in the present and future is basesd on our past learnings eg thats how you know how to open a door when you see one or drive a car.....beacuse of your past!!!! I would recommend if a person wants to have a happy fun realxed healthy life leave this book alone and go on a Richard Bander NLP training seminar!!!!Book Review: Extraordinary Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a truly excellent and amazing book. I've read lots of self-help books in the past but none made any lasting change whatsoever. The Power of Now, on the other hand, has caused a significant inner transformation and changed the way I see life and living.It's like a burden has been lifted off me and there is now more of a lightness, ease and joy to living.
It's the sort of book you will probably reread a number of times, not because it is difficult to understand but because its message is so simple, yet so profound.
If the book makes an impression on you I'd also highly recommend listening to some of Eckhart Tolle's talks, which are available on tape/CD.
Don't miss out on this book.
Book Review: Now is the time.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a question and answer book about how to live life to its fullest potential. But beware: it is not a new system of ways to manipulate your circumstances to get what you think you want. It is actually about getting into the moment, living in the now, and discovering a possibility for well-being inconceivable to the mind. I found the questions asked compelling and familiar. For example, "How do I get rid of emotional pain?" The answer is to experience the emotions or sensations we call emotional pain without judging them. The pain is just our resistance to those emotions or sensations. Tolle's tone is sincere, supportive, and rings with truth. Just reading the book is an opportunity to experience enlightenment. One of my favorite quotes is "You do not need to wait for the world to become sane, or for somebody else to become conscious, before you can be enlightened."If you're looking for additional titles that don't just discuss enlightenment, but actually convey the experience, you'll be delighted to read "Working on Yourself Doesn't Work" by Ariel and Shya Kane. The Kanes' style is down-to-earth and graspable for those who want to discover their own greatness. My hat is off to the Kanes and Tolle.
