The
Power of Now,
by Eckhart Tolle
Eckhart 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. 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.
A fascinating look at the mind, body, spirit interplay and how emotional and spiritual stresses play out on the human energy system. Myss, a bold and original thinker, integrates the ancient wisdom of three spiritual traditions --- the Hindu chakras, the Christian sacraments, and the Kabbalah's Tree of Life. An incredible, cross-cultural, diverse synthesis of a road map to personal, emotional and spiritual maturity is the gift of this book. If you haven't read this book yet, check it out!
