Practicing the Power of Now

Description

In The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle shared the enlightenment he experienced after a startling personal transformation. This companion book extracts the essence of his teachings about how to free oneself from enslavement of the mind. His views go beyond any particular religion, doctrine, or guru. The goal is able to enter into and sustain an enlightened state of consciousness throughout everyday life.Through meditations and simple techniques, Eckhart shows readers how to quiet their thoughts, see the world in the present moment, and find the truest path to happiness.

Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany, where he lived until he was thirteen years of age. After graduating from the University of London, he was a research scholar and supervisor at Cambridge University. When he was twenty-nine, a profound spiritual transformation radically changed the course of his life. After devoting many years to understanding, integrating and deepening that transformation, he has worked for the last ten as a counsellor and spiritual teacher, working with individuals and small groups in Europe and North America. He has lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, since 1996.
