This is an excellent book and really concerns how to live ones life to get the most from life, NOW. The big message is to let go of the past and the future and be present now. NOW is really the only time that we have. I appreciate that the author quotes many great spiritual leaders but does not claim to be a part of any certain group or religion. Sometimes, I felt the book got a bit wordy and repetitive but I would still highly recommend it. To be able to get it on eBay at such a great price allowed me to also purchase one for my son as well as the CD set - which by the way was brand new and still in the wrapper. Both books were near perfect as well. One has 3 paragraphs highlighted in yellow marker and the other no marks whatsoever. I will be reading it again. And don't forget it's companion, A New Earth. I would read The Power of Now first. It is really is a great find on eBay!!!Read full review

I have read this book before. This time around I'm 'really' reading it. I'm taking each page slowly and deliberately, and allowing the words to sink in. This author, Tolle, is giving the world a true 'gem' of a book. Almost to the point of it being a sacred text. Not sacred in a religious context, but sacred as a soul level teaching tool. He is offering the reader a 'key' to opening the door to true awakening. The wealth of information is carefully and slowly revealed to the reader in a very matter-of-fact manner. His explanations are simple and pointed, going straight to the heart of the revelations. Learn what the 'NOW' truly is, and also learn how to focus on it in order to take control of your life. Being in the now is a portal connected directly to your true self. Do yourself and family a favor, and read this book.Read full review

great book, good insight, but if your not an intelligent person who has much experience reading, this will be a very difficult read for you! The author likes to write without repeating words, using big words, and very intellectually. You have to be able to read and understand what he has written for the book to be helpful! I love it! Would definitely recommend people read this especially alcoholics trying to get sober!

Of many books that I read about meditation and enlightenment, this one was the absolute winner. I borrowed it from a friend first. Now I will buy my own copy because I would like to read it again and make notes in it. When I first started reading it, it actually brought tears to my eyes because everything the author says rang so deeply true and seemed to be speaking straight to the center of my soul - at the same time written in a very understandable and simple style, easy and pleasant to read. Anybody in a life crisis or anyone who worries too much on a daily basis about past and future will find this book a real treasure. One of the most helpful features of this book to me is that it does not recommend (like most other meditation books) that you sit in formal meditation regularly, but teaches you ways how to reconnect to the Now during everyday-activities. And the best thing is, as far I am concerned, the taught methods actually work most of the time. Since I currently don't find the time or patience for formal meditation sessions, this book is exactly right for me.Read full review
This will always be the top of the best books I have read list. This is full of the truths concerning what make us "tick". Want some serenity in a very crazy world. World peace only comes one person at a time. The very "cool" thing is you can start on a journey of personal evolvement and it won't cost you $300.00 an hour! The formatting makes it an easy read as it is a Q&A style. The biggest drawback for a lot of people is to read with an open mind. Remember if you really want the whole package you won't get it by leafing through a few pages and deciding this isn't for me!
