A life changing book for me. - By: I. J. Hornby, 10 Aug 2008 
This book has changed my life along with Eckhart's other publications.
I was very skeptical at first, as I considered myself to be non religious & not spiritual & didn't think I could relate to this sort of stuff.
My initial 'though' could not have been more wrong. I hardly ever read books but could not put this one down. I read it at a time when I had recently moved to the other side of the world, then within a few days, I was let down badly by my girlfriend, resultingin a breakup & quit a new jobin which I felt was not for me. Prior to this I suffered from ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome after an undiagnosed spinal cord injury.
After my resent disappointment I felt extremely lonely, depressed & a failure. A couple of friends had recommended the book & I went out & bought it. I read this bookin less than 2 days.
The effect it had on me was overwhelming & life changing! I was able to move on from my "life story" with ease as I found presence & contentment with very few formsin my life. I realised that my life was not my thoughts & that I had been obsessed & lockedin thinking for as long as I can remember, resultingin so much pain & suffering.
I have now been able to feel presence & livein happiness for the past 3 months. I no longer feel lonely, I have seen how my ego & my painbody hasin the past has had such a detrimental effect on my life.
If you want to be liberaed from pain, suffering & any other kind of unhappiness then go & buy this book. Many of my friends have either borrowed my book or bought a copy & have have experienced similar liberation & freedom from their dysfunctional minds.
This book enabled me to find the off button for the thinking part of my mind. Without thinking about the past & future, there is no suffering & pain.
Thank you Eckhart.

Woop dadoo - By: Mr. R. J. K. Hewson, 10 Jul 2008 This book is brilliant. It has sent me on a course I am glad to be on. I can see the truthin all of it, & Know it for my self. For all those who are dubious about this, or think it's rubbish, I can sense/see the spirit forcein nature, it's very hard to put into words, but I wouldn't replace that for a million quid, I find my self more interestedin the nature outside the window than the tv I am watching. Really don't like TV at all now & used to lean on it like most. I sometimes ask whether it's delusional, but know it is not, you just have to experience it for yourself like so many others are. One of the best if not the most important reads of my life. Hope you can see for youself
Enormously valuable book for sadness, despair and anger. - By: Hecate, 06 Jul 2008 Hi
I suffered immeasurable depression following my Mum's death 1 month ago. She suffered from Leukaemia & one of the most important aids to her coping with this was Eckart Tolle's The Power of Now - the whole book & the exercises additional book. She kept her brave & honest spirit alive through his words & didnt fear death, she was ready I guess.
I have been trying to get out of my misery - I miss her so much it feels like my heart has been cut out. I have started reading her well-read Eckhart books - as a means to helping myself to simply exist.
I find the practice of 'now' very hard to do, but I am reading & reading it, listening to it on tape & trying hard. Sometimes it works - my own awareness of how I am feeling & just that - not how I (or my ego) 'thinks' I am or should be feeling - comes through for a split second & even after this tiny moment - well, I feel a lot stronger. I will keep trying.
I find the best, most helpful thing ever is watching & observing the Pain Body. It doesnt stop the sadness & anger I get (it seems this comes from nowhere, out of the blue) about missing my mum but I now feel more able to detach my own Being from this. As such I dont feel as if I am controlled by the pain & anger & fear so much now - I can observe it/ watch it/ 'see' it & feel its just an old ego pattern attempting to take hold of my thinking patterns & only that. It actually feels as if the more I practise this, that distance from this ego pattern is getting further away - & its not 'me' or 'mine' anymore, its just simply a way of feeling brought about through old ego saturated ways of thinking & resistance to situations. Dont get me wrong, the fear, anger & sadness still surface, but with this observation technique, I can help myselfin how I react to other distressing situations & people - all of which have intensified with the death of my dear mum.
I would recommend this book & I would shake this man's hand if I ever met him.
It's so wonderful to read all these lovely reviews - to know that there are others out there who feel the same. I am still very new to the power of now - but it has changed my world already, 4 weeks after I started reading it.
The Power of Now - By: Dr. Tami Brady, 17 Jun 2008 How much of your day is actually spent completely focusedin the here & now? When you are working, how often do you find your mind wandering? How much of your time is spent thinking about what you are going to do next weekend or wishing you'd handled a particular situation differently?
The majority of us spend most of our life fixated on the past or worrying about the future. The present is just something that we gloss over until we realize that we missed out on something. Then, we yearn to have that day back.
What we tend to forget is that all we really have is now. The past is gone it no longer exists, exceptin memory. These experiences can't be changedin any way. Dream or worry about the future as much as you want but no one is promised these things, good or bad. This moment that's all. Make it count & really experience it.
It's a bit scary & freeing all at the same time to know that all we have is right now. More & more, I find myself feeling the here & now & listening to my intuition. I understand quality rather than quantityin my daily life. When I get off balance or upset, I see the fear scenarios playing & I re-center myself.
