This is probably the best single book that I’ve ever come across. Although all teachers come to spirituality from their own point of view.
Great Book for Achieving Enlightenment
This book hit me in two very different ways. The message is almost too simple to be able to present in a question and answer format. If the questions didn't seem natural to me, I wanted to skip over the answer. I kept expecting to hear my voice in the questions, and I didn't.At the same time, the message to be present, to think of down moments in your energy as catalysts for determining change and necessary paths, without allowing yourself to get too bogged down in the emotion... well, that was an important reminder.
This was hard to read. I can see how it's so popular in certain circles. However, the attraction seems to come from a range of novel ideas that, while sounding authoritative, are without foundations and appeal primarily to our most narcissistic traits. I did find merit in focus on the now, but I get a lot more understanding from other sources.
Some part of this are good, much of it is a bit of a mishmash of ideas pulled from various sources, heavy on Buddhism. In fact, the central points that Tolle makes are much better said by some writers who stick to a more focused and coherent view of what is often referred to as mindfulness. This book is the result of what Tolle's personal enlightenment experience, which sound sort of like he had some sort of brain injury, possibly an undiagnosed aneurysm. Some who have had certain kinds of brain aneurysms describe very much the same kind of experience Tolle describes after his enlightenment experience. I am not saying this to detract from Tolle as a spiritual leader, but his experience, whether an aneurysm or actual enlightenment of some kind was a spontaneous experience, and hardly gives credibility to the path to enlightenment he describes in this book. I find more traditional mindfulness meditation to be more meaningful that Tolle's complex descriptions of the Now, as he calls it.
You will fall asleep trying to listen to this audio book.
It is a great wisdom by an accomplished master .
A great download that you can listen to many times. Great quick format with incredible information read by Tolle.
That is a great audio boom by ekhart tole amazing concept is given to ready reckoner and you found helpful immediately, thanks to the writer and scribe to launch its audio format to all
A timeless book that will apply to this human experience for centuries.
the reading is horribly boring I couldn't pass the 2nd chapter -_- francly disappointed.
Great book for self recognition , it helps you realize the thinking tricks to keep you sad, angry, fearful. This book greatly explains the conception of time and our thinking travel through it to the past or future consequences.
This book has improved my entire life. I highly recommend it
Great book that helps you being present in the moment. This is something that I have been struggling for a while and started to control thanks to this book.
This is a life changing book;
Actually, Eckhart Tolle assists in one's spiritual awakening, but only if you understand the truths he is saying. If you find this "boring", it's probably because you are not conscious with your present self.
Because of his awareness, I am now becoming more aware within myself, because it is my decision to try to change my subconscious pattern of thinking.

excellent book a must read for everyone, I will read it again.
Just read it every day and you will be happy
One of the best books (if not THE best) on spirituality and self-growth. It is basically an excellent summary of "The Power of Now". If you want to change your life and free yourself from suffering, this is the book!
I loved it! This will be a very practical guide to come back to. Thank you.
Nobody can explain better about the importance of presence in human life. Simply superb.
Very deep, very knowledgeable! I believe it can be difficult to understand by many but believe me this is it! And it's pretty simple, calm and clear the reading and explanation.
Having read the power of now which I loved but is over 7h long, this is a great book to listen and get some of the key parts of the longer version, I’ll still listen both over and over but I appreciate having this shorter version available.
If you are open to what Eckart Tolle shares with this audio book, then you will find it very rewarding to read it.
This is a truly amazing work. It has been enlightening and highly liberating..it is a masterpiece.
Practicing the Power Of Now is an enlightening book. Through this audio book, my introduction to Eckhart Tolle was fascinating.
So many quotes in this book I decided to share with others. One of the quotes is related to negativity sabotaging your happiness.
His words are clear and easy to understand.
I definitely recommend this audio book as not only a one time must listen, but a book you may listen to quarterly just to appreciate your present situation and block out your own negative thoughts.
Thank you, Eckhart Tolle. Well done.

Very good book and throghly enjoyed this book also benefited
Wonderful audiobook. The essence of E. Tolle's teachings. Greatly recommended.
This book put the whole spiritual end of thing in perspective for me I have read all of Dr Joe dispenzas books which was able to put a scientific explanation on spiritualism Which opened me up to the spiritual world I was an atheist before . I don't think this book would have done me nearly as much good if I diden't study dr Joe's books. I have learned some great information out of this book and I am looking forward to reading all of his work. If this book was confusing or you don't understand it. I encourage you to read breaking the habit of being yourself. By Dr Joe dispenza I can truly say this man has saved my life.
I’ve been on this path of learning how to let go for a about a year. I’ve read a few book and listened to a handful of podcast. I found Eckhart’s ability to simplify in communicating transformative. This book has been a key in helping unlock mental deceptions and help me connect to the inner core of where I’m at. If you are looking for a book help make sense of where you’re at and how to potentially free yourself, this a good to help with that; however there is work that is required. I am truly grateful for the words in this book ?
