![]() ![]() Tolle's immersion in spiritual texts came only after he had glimpsed their truth in a flash of enlightenment at the age of 29. The book is also a masterful synthesis of ideas from Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism and other traditions, satisfying our twenty-first century desire to think outside the boxes of conventional religion, and recognizing that ultimately it all says the same thing. It is perhaps the most practical of any self-help, success or spiritual classic because it denies our usual tendency to imagine some bright future without ever really coming to grips with the present. While the majority of spiritual and New Age writings contain ethereal concepts for 'achieving transcendence' and working towards 'enlightenment', The Power of Now is intensely focused on the problems you have today and the person you are at this moment. Released in the United States, it became a sleeper hit and made Eckhart Tolle into a sought-after teacher. A modern masterpiece of spiritual writing, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment was first published in Canada. ![]()
