There are innumerable books on spirituality, finding peace and happiness etc etc... However, most of them do not answer the 'How' questions. But this one does. It gives some of the simple tools and questions you can ask yourself that will bring you to "Now".

This is not a read-and-forget kind of book. It is something you need to keep it in an easily accessible place on your shelf for you would need it quite often, at least, till you really start living the "Now".

Book is crisp, concise and to the point.

Before starting this book, I thought it was a follow up on The Power Of Now. However, it is not so. The author himself writes that this book is the gist of The Power Of Now; in case someone finds it too daunting to read, they could read this one.

My reason for 3 stars is not the content of the book, it is more for a misleading title. Even though it lists a few exercises on how to remain in the present moment, those exercises are few and far in between and most of the book is just a repetition of The Power Of Now.

If I had read this before The Power Of Now, I would surely have skipped reading it. I am glad I did not. The Power Of Now is one of the most amazing books I've read on the workings of the human mind. If you have read that, you can surely give this book a miss. But if you are deciding on not reading that based on this one, do reconsider it. This book doesn't seem to convey the ideas of the authors in the same depth as The Power Of Now.

I read this a while ago but just read it again recently. I love reading calming or uplifting or centering things before bed. And this is one of my favorites.

Tolle has a way of giving meaning to life by using exercises, meditations and essential teachings (many based on Eastern philosophies) to bring peace, balance and harmony into our lives. The goal is to be able to bring about and sustain an enlightened state of consciousness in our immediate existence.


I'm particularly attracted to the Budhist, Hindu, and Taoist notion of "no-self", relinquishing the ego so that life's challenges do not impact you, rather you flow through and around them. In my opinion, this philosophy embodies what self-confidence wants to be when it grows up.

حداقل چیزی که برام داشت این بود که یه دید تازه‌ای بهم داد برای یه سری موضوع‌ها. کلا موقع خوندنش حسم یکم بهتر میشد..و خب تموم شدنش به معنی بستنش و گذاشتن توو کتابخونه نیست میتونم بخوام هرموقعی بهش برگردم. در کل خوندنش جالب بود برام.

تله در اين كتاب خيلي روان به توصيف در لحظه زندگي كردن و رها شدن از گذشته و آينده ميپردازه، و چند تمرين عملي هم ذكر ميكنه. كتاب كم حجم و پر نكته اي بود و خوندنش خالي از لطف نيست.

اعتقد ان هذا الكتاب القليل في عدد الصفحات العظيم جدا بالمضمون. لا تستطيع أن تدرك وتستوعب كل ما فيه بقراءه واحده هو من الكتب التي لا تقرا على عجل بل يجب قراءته بمكان هادئ جدا بتركيز عالي جدا وقراءته اكثر من مرة. لكي تستطيع فهم بشكل جيد محاورة
جميل جداً
استطيع ان الخص كل الكتاب بكلمتين
"عيش اللحظة ". لا تبقى سجين الماضي ولا تجعل مخاوف المستقبل. تسبب لك القلق الدائم فقط. استمتع بلحظه الدي انت فيها ألان بكل ما فيها
بتأكيد سأعاود قراءته مرة أخرى

Every once in a while information comes to me just when I need it. Sometimes it is a single word from a stranger, sometimes, a friend. This time is was in the form of a book: The Power of Now . I have to admit that I didn’t understand many of the concepts presented. I have gotten from it what I need for “Now”.

Two things stand out as I think about what I want to tell you about me and The Power of Now.

One: When I say “I am so mad at myself”, who is the “I” and who is the “myself”? Mr. Tolle identifies the “I” as the conscious or the inner self. The unconscious is the face I present to people as I act out my life situation. As I act out my life situation, I will find peace if I stay as long as I can in the Now. I do not dwell on the past or the future it is a part of my life situation. The goal is to strive to deal with the life situation from the conscious inner self, my real self, as an impartial observer/participant.

Eckhart Tolle: “Nothing exists outside the Now. Nothing ever happened in the past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future: it will happen in the Now.”

Two: When I experience a “life situation” that is not pleasant and even painful, I have three choices:
1) stop doing what I am doing 2) if a person is involved, I need to speak to the person concerned and express fully what I feel or 3) drop the negativity that my mind has created around the situation and serves no purpose.

I can recommend this book and its concepts to you. I also would suggest that you read it through the first time. Then, you can go back to particular parts that may speak to you at that moment in the Now.

A much more digestible version than the full Power of Now. I read that one years ago and it just didn't sink in as much. Now, after reading (and loving) A New Earth, this one was a great companion book.

Spirituality and being present in 2025. I took a lot out of this book. It was a bit repetitive at points but overall a good start to the year :)
