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.
