Description
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 readers 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.
About the author
Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. When he was 29, a profound inner transformation 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. Tolle is the author of A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Potential, and The Power of Now, a New York Times bestseller that has been translated into 33 languages and is one of the most influential spiritual books of our time. The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment was published in 1999 by New World Library. Tolle is not aligned with any particular religion or spiritual tradition. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
