Amazon.co.uk Review
Ekhart 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 this 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 Power of Now. (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. --Gail Hudson

 The Beauty of the Moment! November 23, 2008
33 out of 44 found this review helpful
I love this book! Eckhart Tolle has a wonderful way of describing the magic of living in the present moment. He speaks about "watching" the mind and stepping out of resistance patterns. It is so great to learn that I am not the voice inside my head! Now I listen to the conversations that go on inside my mind and I don't have to take them seriously or make them mean something. Most of my thought processes - especially the self-doubting ones - simply are not true. What a relief!
I have also learned this from Ariel and Shya Kane, in their books Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Life, How to Create a Magical Relationship: The 3 Simple Ideas that Will Instantaneously Transform Your Love Life: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Love Life and Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment. These books are amazing! The power of now is easy to access with their simple technology.
This is the second time I have read "The Power Of Now". In between these readings, I discovered Ariel & Shya Kane. As I reread Eckhart Tolle's book for the second time, it was exciting to recognize that I live my life presently - with consistency. I experience the magic that he writes about. Eckhart describes the beauty of the moment and the Kanes supply the "How To" get into the moment. These books work well together. Thanks to authors like the Kanes & Eckhart Tolle, anything is possible!
A must read... November 2, 2008

Well worth the few pounds on a life changing book and completely ignore the 1 star reviews. Read it slowly and let the words absorb into your very being.
 Happiness is the Road October 31, 2008

This book focuses on the way in which living 'in the present' is the road to true happiness.
If you enjoyed the book, you simply have to check out Marillion's recent CD, Happiness is the Road - Essence, which takes Tolle's work and builds it into a stunning musical journey.
Tolle's ideas, clearly explained in this book, although sometimes simplistic, provide a strong basis for achieving enlightenment - and are closely aligned with many principles of buddhist philosophy.
The book and CD are both recommended!
 please avoid this book October 31, 2008

Please avoid this book.
First of all, he is claiming to be an 'enlightened being' and yet to me it seems quite egotistical to start your book by declaring your own superiority and wisdom in this way. To my mind this device exposes a need to justify himself in the absence of having any relevant qualifications. Being the centre of so much attention through the publication of bestsellers also comes across as somewhat materialist to me, not what I would expect from the enlightened one.
This book is not original. It describes a philosophy based on the central claims of many doctrines associated with eastern mysticism. These are all wonderful, colourful, exciting and maybe even true. But Eckhart Tolle is cheating by presenting himself as a teacher, because he is not. He is just saying what he has learnt from his own study in this area, and then branding himself as a source.
I believe this is called hypocrisy. A well respected and more authentic spiritual master once said that 'God forgives everything except hypocrisy'.
So if you are not sure about buying his book. I recommend you avoid it. Go and do something you enjoy instead.
If you want an overcompicated book about Jesus, buy this..... October 25, 2008

This book:
* repeats itself over and over.
* has a lecturing style (at one point he tells the reader "please just listen").
* massively over-complicates the issues
* is a book about Christ and God (although he doesn't get to the Christ bit until half way through the book, when the reader suddenly realises that this is a religious text).
Not recommended.
