Practicing the Power of Now(bk: Essential Teachings, Meditations and Exercises from the "Power of Now" (New World Library Audio): Amazon.de: Eckhart Tolle: Englische Bücher

Amazon.co.uk

Move over James Redfield. Since The Power of Now was published in the US in 1999 (2001 in the UK), Eckhart Tolle has become the exciting new name on the guru scene. Tolle's message is profound, but like many of the best spiritual messages, quite simple: you need to discover your true self. That's not the person who walks and talks, or even the person inside your head who thinks your thoughts. Step back, Tolle says, and observe the process of thinking; the person doing the observing is the real you. And the only moment that is real is Now; the past and future can both drag you down, so live in the current moment. This is the path to Enlightenment or Self-Realisation.

For those who have been deeply impressed by Tolle's first book and are waiting for a follow-up, note that Practising the Power of Now is not a new book; it is a collection of extracts from the original book--the edited highlights--and short spiritual exercises. Apparently, it is designed primarily for those who already have the original book, but want a slim and concise volume they can carry around and dip into--the meat without the veg, so to speak.

In comparison with the original book, Practising the Power of Now does seem a little scrappy. It's full of profound messages, but the well-argued connecting material is missing. For those who haven't read either, the original The Power of Now is certainly better value for money--twice the length at the same price. But for fans, for those who prefer bite-sized spiritual truths, or as a gift to either of these, Practising the Power of Now contains all of Tolle's teaching in an easily accessible format. --David V Barrett -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .

This manual-style book instantly dives into Eckhart Tolle's principles of "living in the moment," which could be a jarring experience for readers who haven't read his preceding book, The Power of Now. For the initiated, though, this makes an excellent companion guide--rich in exercises and meditations to help readers get out of their minds so they can live more peacefully in their bodies. Sometimes it's hard to fathom what on earth Tolle is talking about: "To regain awareness of Being and to abide in that state of 'feeling-realization' is enlightenment." Be patient. All concepts will be revealed (or at least more carefully explained). Ultimately, Tolle leads readers into a new form of thinking (or actually not thinking) that erases the consuming habits of waiting, worrying, and being in fear. The first step is ending the "delusion of time." He asks, "Are you always trying to get somewhere other than where you are? ... Is most of your doing just a means to an end?" If so, Tolle has a book full of advice for you. As simplistic as this may sound, Tolle's work has spiritual merit and depth, especially for frantic Westerners who find their lives diminished by packed schedules and busy-ness. --Gail Hudson -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .

stop the churning thought-mill in your head! 23. Juni 2005

Von communic8te

Format:Audio CD

I purchased this title as an audio book. I found it very soothing, almost meditative, to listen to. Eckhart Tolle gives life a new perspective and helps you find a little mental peace in this crazy, fast-paced world. I would recommend this to anyone who is open to exploring their own mind and those who are losing sleep beacuse of never-ending thought cycles.

I am not sure how reading the book might compare. For me a huge part of the meditative quality resulted from listening to the words as he speaks with my eyes closed. Therefore I suggest purchasing the audio book.

This is the first title of Eckhart Tolle that I purchased, but I am already a huge fan!

An awsome book that gets you thinking 31. Mai 2004

Von gizmalley

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe

This book made a change in my life. I really have trouble reading non-fiction. But the author's language is so clear and easy to understand, and everything he writes is so important, that I finished it easily. Every sentence makes you think about your own life. The book helps you to stop living in the past or future and to realize that you are right here right now. And that is all you need. Unfortunately, though, it is quite difficult for the beginner to actually stay in the here and now, which the author sometimes doesn't seem to realize. He seems to assume that all you need to do is know this, and everthing will be fine. Still, reading this book made me understand myself and what goes on in my life so much, that I will definetely read it again!
