OVERVIEW

WHAT IS THE CORE MESSAGE OF The Power of Now?

If you want to improve your life and reduce suffering, you should live in the present, not in the past and not in the future. To do this, you have to overcome the mind that wants to prevent you from doing so.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Living in the present moment - this statement seems easy to understand, but is lived and understood to the core by very few people. Instead, many of us are preoccupied with painful memories of the past or anxious thoughts about the future. At the same time, we cling to the hope that our lives will somehow change for the better and that we will become happier and more fulfilled, even if we have no concrete idea of how to make it happen.

In the book, the renowned spiritual teacher and best-selling author Eckhart Tolle shows that we can only avoid suffering if we succeed in living completely in the present moment. By fully accepting a situation, we can resolve conflicts and change situations. The now includes not only the outer form of a situation, but also all the feelings and thoughts that arise in the process, which we unconsciously transfer to our environment and thus create suffering.

Tolle offers numerous thought-provoking impulses and practical methods for diving completely into one's inner self and using one's mind in such a way that we no longer get caught in the spiral of suffering that hinders our own happiness. He has been able to help millions of people improve their lives, relationships and self-esteem through training and strengthening their awareness.
