Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness
and enlightenment. And while this message may not seem stunningly original or
fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice and enthusiasm make
The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment an
excellent manual for anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the
now" means. Foremost, Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain
complicated concepts in concrete language. More importantly, within a chapter
of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different
container - more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their
ability to live in genuine peace and happiness. Tolle packs a lot of
information and inspirational ideas into the book: topics include the source of
Chi, enlightened relationships, creative use of the mind, impermanence and the
cycle of life. Thankfully, he's added markers that symbolise "break time". This
is when readers should close the book and mull over what they just read. As a
result,
The Power of Now reads like the highly acclaimed
A Course in Miracles - a spiritual guidebook that has the
potential to inspire just as many study groups and change just as many lives
for the better. |
