The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

by: Eckhart Tolle

February 01, 2001
This book has been written in the sense of a dialogue between master and disciple reminicent of the Corpus Hermeticum. However in this case the reader may or may not find these imposed questions useful or, indeed annoying... This is a book which is either going to hit a chord, or will seem like utter nonsense. From my point of view as an average reader, I have found it very important because it explores concepts of this mind/ego (a double) which is inside of each person which needs confronting in someway. I think this book is must read for anyone who feels they are on a spiritual path, because fundementally (and in my limited understanding) the awareness of the 'double' and the fission of dark and light is inevitable along this path. If this ... Read More:

A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

by: Eckhart Tolle

June 29, 2006
I found this too wordy and deep for a simple soul such as myself however I did as advised on the Oprah site and sat with 2 marker pens in different colours to underline that which I understood and that which I didn't. Needless to say one colour got a heck of a bashing!!

I've given it 3 stars though because I did actually get some really good bits out of it which I jotted down on the spare blank pages at the back (in my own words so I would understand later) and for that it was worth reading/buying.

What I am most chuffed about however is reading a review by Paul Chipperfield (lower down) recommending Cheri Huber's book which as he said is much kinder to us mere mortals and he is sooooo right!! Cheri Huber writes in a way I can understand ... Read More:

Practising the Power of Now

by: Eckhart Tolle

April 04, 2002
Very helpful summary of key points of the original book. I have got the cassette tape and listen to it every day - it is in handy chunks of text of between around one and three minutes duration - or I read a section of the book. So it keeps you on track and reminded of the wisdom of Eckhart Tolle. It never fades and is always helpful, each time I read it there is a new relevance or insight attainable. Well worth getting.

Practicing the Power of Now: Meditations and Exercises and Core Teachings for Living the Liberated Life

by: Eckhart Tolle

2001-12
Practicing the Power of Now is a handy companion to Eckhart's wildly popular The Power of Now. Essentially, Practicing the Power of Now contains the same information as in the first book. However, I have to say that I prefer this format. The first book was written in a question answer format. These questions came from the author's students. He also included amalgamated questions that covered a variety of common queries. These question and answer sessions gradually took the reader from common perception through to an understanding of the illusions that we generally accept as real and the importance of the present moment.

Practicing the Power of Now is written in formalized chapters summarizing much of the material written that first book such as being and enlightenment; the origin ... Read More:

Stillness Speaks: Whispers of Now

by: Eckhart Tolle

September 01, 2003
Even though I have been around the block more than a couple of times with Eckhart's material and spirituality in general, I followed a recommendation and purchased the audio version of this (having picked up the book version in a shop and deciding I don't need it) and now listen to a chapter each day.

It's very nice indeed. It's a nice follow-on from the recent webcasts and one has the luxury of listening to him the whole time without the oprah-atics of having to listen to him being interrupted all the time!

Through the Open Door

by: Eckhart Tolle

March 31, 2006
This is a joy to listen to. Eckhart certainly knows the essence of all the key spiritual messages that have been passed down over the centuries and puts them in his own non-dogmatic, modern, clear way. I have studied spiritual, religious and mystical writings for over twenty years - and this sums them all up.
