Book Reviews of Power of Now
Book Review: Awareness more than enlightenment
Summary: 4 Stars
This book can be looked at from a psychological aspect as much as it can in a spiritual one, if not more so !Eckhart Tolle fully delivers the message that we are mainly unconscious beings, in other words controlled by our minds past experiences and future projections rather than being present.
I recommend the book for anyone who is on a journey of understanding themselves or at the beginning of their spiritual path.
I won't go into great detail as there are plenty of other reviews from different people giving different honest opinions from their perspective.
However, I implore anyone to ignore the review of the lady from Scotland who points toward Jesus and the bible. If you want to find yourself then look inward, don't give yourself over to a religion or it's perspectives, make your own for YOU. This book is about finding your inner self (the real you) by living in the now !
The only way to find out is to get it and see how you feel.
Book Review: Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great book. Brings together a lot of Taoist, Christian and other teachings into a highly practical and compelling stratetgy for living your life in the 'Now': very clear and helpful on a lot of 'difficult' issues. It's made a great difference to my life, for the better - I'm just buying his other books off Amazon now. If you like 'Now', share your thoughts here and elsewhere: help spread enlightenment!Book Review: Learn to enjoy your life NOW
Summary: 5 Stars
I thoroughly recommend this book...it explains why we humans act the way we do and it gives easy to read ideas to change old stuck patterns in order to bring total harmony and peace to your world and relationships. It explains what is happening in the world and why we are experiencing the things we are. Acceptance is the key, let go and heal your life. I am priviledged to have read this book....it is part of life's lessons.Book Review: Rubbish!
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is a repetitive read and no more than new age twaddle. Furthermore, the useful aspects of this book are actually no more than common sense, and could be written on the back of a postcard!!!Book Review: If you only learn one lesson in life, learn this one
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend this book to all my clients who I think can handle it. (Some people just aren't ready and can't begin to understand the concepts). The concept is simple, yes. All truly deep truths are very simple. But how do you do it? It is not easy explaining something that really can only be experienced, but hats off to Tolle for doing an amazing job. I have been a student of psychology, am a full time therapist and find this the single most helpful tool to living a peaceful life. We cannot trust our emotions, which are always either being triggered by past events or future worries. We can trust in a higher plan - and the way to do that is through every single moment. God said I AM. not I was. not I will be. I AM. You can only ever find absolute truth in the present moment, in the NOW.
If you ever wondered *how* to 'live in the Spirit', then this is the book you need to read. Tolle stumbled upon this truth and was given a gift to be able to communicate it to others. It may lead you to many places you thought you would never go.
