Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle is widely recognized as one of the most inspiring and visionary spiritual teachers in the world today. With his international bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth—translated into more than 50 languages—he has introduced millions to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. The New York Times has described him as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States,” and in 2011, Watkins Review named him “the most spiritually influential person in the world.” Eckhart’s profound yet simple teachings have helped countless people around the globe experience a state of vibrantly alive inner peace in their daily lives. His teachings focus on the significance and power of Presence, the awakened state of consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking. Eckhart sees this awakening as the essential next step in human evolution.

Reviews for Practicing the Power of Now

[Haneul Sin · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed the elemental aspect of it. It's extremely easy to listen to (or read) and follow along without having to read the same line multiple times (referencing Sartre here lol). I think it would be good to read or introduce this to children (maybe paraphrase some) because many of the explanations are analogies in simple concept forms. Recommended.

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.

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 is probably the best single book that I’ve ever come across. Although all teachers come to spirituality from their own point of view.

You will fall asleep trying to listen to this audio book.

[Maria Guadalupe Zarate · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

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.

[peter nieman · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

very deep. Very very and very deep
Much effort needed to grasp it But in the end worth the effort

[Brian Schantz · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Not a long book, but a lot of wisdom on every page. Great delivery by the author's own voice.

[Desi Nair · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

An excellent and essential practical application to being present. I will return to this book for guidance from time to time to remind me of what is truly important to living a life of peace. Eckhart Tolle is amazing at demystifying the personal spiritual journey, helping us all to learn and grow. A much-needed, and appreciated listen.

Amazing !! Insightful !! And truth !!! Love it .

[annemarieleilaani · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I liked the book. When I read The Power Of Now, it helped me to release my past. This book made me understand that I have released my past, but lived in the future and resisted my present. Now I understand why I have been suffering, although I let go my past and forgave/understood everybody in it. I still have goals in my life, but now my main focus is to live in the present and from now on make choices that help me get to my goals.

It's such a beautiful experience to listen to this book. I wanna read the entire book - now. I would like to thank the author for dedication to deliver this masterpiece to the world. NOW has touched my soul and heart.

[Rebbapragada · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A wonderful book, has much to offer to the individuals across the globe to tackle and address issues of past, present and future in a proper perspective and take life forward. A book to keep close to bedside as a reference and guide whenever one wants to read and be able to traverse the complex challenges of life more adroitly.

On point... Now is all we have unlike past& future

[Malthe Tuxen · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Had honestly not expected this book to be so great. Truly one of the most practical and logical spiritual books out there. Without all of the weird stuff many spiritual books have. Also not difficult to understand, but definitely not dumbed down.

[Visham Hussain · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A very good practical guide well explained by the author

[Anthony Yap · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Knowing, understanding, owning or accepting, mindfulness, keep self calm at all times, see misfortunes as blessings in disguise, control of innerself, accept everyone's situation and always learn from it regardless of the circumstances. Live the present! It's the most important thing that we have!

[Christos Diamantis · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Started with good audio but they i couldn't not focus and messed up my breathing because I could hear him taking quick breathes like he's running out of breath or gasping like 10 times in a minute.
Hard to be in "the now" u know

[Flo Thom · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Awakening to the notion of dying in the past every minute and surrendering to the now. I hope i can keep this going. Thank you

[Sophie Reid · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Such a profound piece of literature that has the power to change your life. Best book I have ever read.

[George Bulgin · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Just wow… conceptually from an ontological POV it will shift your paradigm.

[Marianna Quinones · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Learned so much. I love how it takes the now into the next level but the dings/bells is why I give it 4 stars.

[matt · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

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.

[Nutella On Toast · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I would say, outdated Buddhist teaching. The author focuses too much on black and white thinking, and narrates a rather absolute position on reality. Personally, I would say its pretty average to poor quality material. Not especially good. 2 star.

[Wanda Neli · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It's inspiring ? and motivational I love this one really

[Mihai · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A book that I would listen to daily, when I wake up and before going to bed.
Already listened to it twice by now and will listen again, so that the messages will imprint in my being.
