    The Power of NOW by Ekharte Tolle, is an amazing self-help book, it is recommended by Oprah, and more than million copies of it were sold in the last 6 years. And it was translated to 30 languages!


    It is the real deal! I bought it from Virgin Megastore but you can buy it from amazon too.


    Good Luck!

    Personally, I think it is overhyped, overrated and unoriginal. This concept has been done to death by all kind of semi-philosophers and pseudo-enlightened writers.

    The New-Agey lingo was a little much for me, but I really liked the basic principles and ideas. I know that they aren't exactly NEW principles and ideas, but they were presented in a way that made a lot of sense to me. So overall, Tolle gets a thumbs up.

    I just started reading Tolle's "A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose." I really love his descriptions and how visual they are. He is an awesome writer.

    I just started reading it. I really like it. It's nothing new but it holds a lot of good information. It is very well written and I think that those who don't get it aren't ready for it.

    Peace and love

    I started reading it recently, and it's good so far. Some great concepts and ideas, some I knew but had forgotten, some is explained in a better way in the book. It's a little heavy though, I find myself battling sleep if I read it after 7pm.

    Great book, as are most of the self-help books that are based on Buddhist precepts. Jack Kornfield is another good author, if you like that sorta thing.

    This is a magnificent book. My mother recommended it to me after I discussed a few of the issues i was having with her when I was younger. It really helped me to see the world in a whole new light. Since reading The Power of Now, It's been a main and serious goal of mine to strive for my own form of spiritual/personal enlightenment.

    I love the message of this book, but I don't like the 'esoteric' spiritual style in which is it written, it just didn't connect with me at all - I only came across is because I read another book, which put the concept across simply and in a simple, positive manner.
