Hello, today I want to talk about a book that can help you focus on the present and change your whole perspective on life towards happiness and fulfillment, it is The Power of Now.
The basic premise of The Power of Now, is that our minds chose unhappiness through an attachment to the past, our egos, misconceptions, and other burdens created by our thoughts that impede us from reaching a higher level of spirituality, and that we need to get rid of these weights and focus on the present in order to grow and achieve a higher stage and, ergo, happiness.
It is important to notice that this book has been sold to over 2 million people and translated into 30+ languages, which means that it should have a very useful proposal to hold so big an audience.
The Power of Now promises to help us get through the smog that is blocking our sight and light the way to our deepest selves, to create a pain-free identity, to gain a real awareness of being, and get our minds free from whatever clouds our vision of the happiness we can create for ourselves simply by changing our perspectives.
The book explains the changes we need to make using simple language and an easy question and answer format to guide us.
here you can see a description taken from the books preface that clearly outlines the promise of this book:
And the index also shows what the book has for you, please take a look:
Notice that the book introduces the ideas, explains in detail what happens in our minds and the effects in our lives, but, most importantly, it immediately shows what we need to do, what steps to follow to improve our lives.
It promises to be a very useful book, and as an introduction says:
"A word of mouth phenomenon since its first publication, The Power of Now is one of those rare books with the power to create an experience in readers, one that can radically change their lives for the better. Live in the present, live now".
About the Author
World-renowned spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle conveys simple wisdom that transcends any particular religion, doctrine, or guru. His #1 NYT bestselling book is a modern classic in the field of personal growth and spirituality; Oprah Winfrey credits The Power of Now with helping her to "get through September 11, 2001" and she featured it on her December 2002 "Oprah’s Favorite Things" show. A native of Germany, Eckhart Tolle attended the University of London, and upon graduation went on to become a research scholar and supervisor at Cambridge University. At 29, a profound spiritual awakening virtually dissolved his personal identity and sparked a radical change in the course of his life. It marked the beginning of an intense inward journey and he devoted the next decade to understanding, deepening, and integrating that transformation. For the past ten years, he has acted as a counselor and spiritual guide, facilitating sold-out groups in Europe and North America. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.

5.0 out of 5 starsPsychologist claims this is the best self-help book for anxiety or depression
Amazon Customer
I have over 25 years of experience as a clinical psychologist. This is hands down the best self-help book I have ever come across, and can not fathom why the very simple and straight-forward concepts Tolle presents were never once mentioned in my grad school training or any of the countless professional development workshops I have attended over the years. If you are dealing with depression and/or anxiety, this is the book to get. But you need to read it slowly, to take it in bit by bit, and actually pause to practice what he is explaining in each section to benefit from it. You can't just skim it and expect to understand it in a way that will open your life and help you experience the freedom and ease of this very moment. I keep it by my bed and re-read sections all the time. Thank you Eckhart!

I was experiencing crippling anxiety, and due to lack of insurance, I was unable to seek help. I was worried about my relationships and jobs suffering due to this, and found myself in constant fear of a breakdown. I found this book and it literally changed my life. Recommend this to anyone. Very thankful for this book.
Reader
The Power Of Now' is one of my all-time favorite reads. I've read it, and I've listened to the audiobook. That isn't to state that it isn't very controversial. Some people hate it, and others absolutely love it; I'm not sure how many individuals actually fall in-between. I'd be surprised to hear anyone challenge that the book is one of the most influential pieces of art of the 20th century. Eckhart Tolle's famous book has given me countless hours of meditative practice and readiness. Trying to be ready for something that is already here seems funny to consider, and it is that type of thinking that this book helps to inspire.

In summary, The Power of Now is an empowering book, it will help you find what you need to change from within yourself and open your mind to a new, present and immediate perspective. Really recommended!
