Are you worried about the future? Do you keep resenting your past? Do you feel like life treats you unfair and people unkind? Do disappointment, bitterness, and depression sound familiar to you? Do you want to learn how to overcome the pain in your life?

In The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle takes a look at our sorrows. He challenges our thought patterns, the way we perceive things, and our approach to life. He comes up with alternatives that set us free from our pain. What are the causes of our grief? What makes us struggle? How can we put an end to our suffering? How can we reach the state of joy and freedom?

The answers of Eckhart Tolle involve living in the present moment, accepting what is, and surrendering to life. He offers practices to free ourselves from our minds, lifting our consciousness, and moving deeply into the now. He explains the mind’s ways to avoid the present moment and how to overcome the noise created by the mind. He describes how to be more spontaneous and to live in the present moment. To live in the present moment, that is the way to peace, freedom, and joy.

The Power of Now is not a complicated, hard to understand text. On the contrary, it is easy to follow and organized in a conversational style. The ideas are presented as answers to the questions that a reader might ask. It is a powerful text that deeply affects its reader, leading her to reflect on her life, on her way of living and thinking. It can be the start of your personal transformation if you allow it.
