About this listen

Celebrating 25 Years as a New York Times Bestseller — Over 16 Million Copies Sold

It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces listeners to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, “the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.” Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.

Essential

You will need to refer back to this book again and again and you will enrich your life by doing so. If the content is very unfamiliar, you will need time to resonate with its truth

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

Beautiful life changing. Eckhart shows such love and clear perception of the human condition with suggestions on how to free ourselves from pain and live fully. I would recommend it to everyone. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

Honest and Grounding

The message is repetitive for a reason. As I continued to listen, I felt as if I was hearing this truth for the first time (or more so in a new way). He helps dispel all the false ideas we have built around our reality and provides vital guidance on an intrinsic truth.

Profoundly brilliant - words to truly love by

This book contains the words I’ve been struggling to find, towards solving the problems in my life and feelings of dissatisfaction I’ve been wrestling with. Wow. How had I not heard of this title before? I’ve gone through similar books searching for answers, but this one - wow - did this one ever speak to me. I’m going to immediately listen to this again. Recommend this book to anyone looking for positive change in their lives, but haven’t found what feels like the correct path for them yet. Listen to this now!! The narration by the author is beautiful, but does suit listening with full attention rather than in the background.

Profound

Eckhart has created an amazing and concise delivery of spiritual lessons I have learned from studying various philosophy's, meditation disciplines, breathworks and yogas. On-top of this, in this book, Echhart has introduced me to some new, beautiful insights and understandings that he has discovered through his own journey.

This book has had a dramatic shift on my understanding of time, the mind and self. Never have I been more present, and at peace, than while listening to this stunning audiobook.

Thank you Eckhart.

Life Changing

I have always lived in my head trying to make sense of this world and life. Held on to so much trauma and hurt. I have listened to sooooo much but this book would be the most profound so far. I have listened twice and will a third time to really let it sink in......such different concepts.
