The Power Of Now, A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment, By Eckhart Tolle

"To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer to the universe."
- Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle is emerging as one of today’s most inspiring teachers. In The Power of Now, already a word-of-mouth bestseller in Canada, the author describes his transition from despair to self-realization soon after his 29th birthday. Tolle took another ten years to understand this transformation, during which time he evolved a philosophy that has parallels in Christianity, Buddhism, relaxation techniques, and meditation theory but is also eminently practical.

In The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle shows readers how to recognize themselves as the creators of their own pain, and how to have a pain-free existence by living fully in the present. Accessing the deepest self, the true self, can be learned, he says, by freeing ourselves from the conflicting, unreasonable demands of the mind and living present, fully, and intensely, in the Now.

Reviews: "In The Power of Now, author-sage Eckhart Tolle uses words to guide readers beyond words. Pointing to the portals of the eternal present, this practical mystic's modern gospel offers transcendent truths that set us free."
— Dan Millman, author of Everyday Enlightenment and The Laws of Spirit

" A great contribution to our understanding of what it means to be a spiritual being. "
— Ian Percy, author of Going Deep

About the Author: Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany where he spent the first thirteen years of his life. After graduating the University of London, he was a research scholar and supervisor at Cambridge University. At the age of twenty-nine a profound spiritual transformation virtually dissolved his identity and radically changed the course of his life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating and deepening that transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey. For the past ten years he has been a counselor and spiritual teacher, working with individuals and small groups in Europe and North America. He has lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada since 1996.
