One of the hardest
tasks on a spiritual journey is letting go of ingrained thought processes,
beliefs, opinions, and obsessions in order to plunge directly into the reality
of the moment. And yet Eckhart Tolle believes this is the key to transformation.
THE POWER OF NOW is a direct, simple, and highly readable explication of this
powerful principle. Written in a Socratic question-and-answer form, Tolle
describes the process of letting go of our ego-identified selves, our "pain
bodies," and embracing the present moment. He outlines the pitfalls that
sabotage our attempts to change our lives, and gently leads the reader to
discover the incorruptible joy that resides within all of us. While Tolle's
approach is certainly not new--it revisits the basic tenets of Buddhism and
several mystical schools--its fresh and non-dogmatic presentation gives new life
to a worthwhile message.
