‘The Power of Now’ by Eckhart Tolle, is a book that emphasises the importance of living in the present moment. Most of us are trapped in our own minds, constantly worrying about the past or the future. This prevents us from experiencing true happiness and fulfilment.
The secret key to breaking free from this cycle is to focus on the present moment, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. There is a number of practical advices on how to do this, including techniques for quieting the mind and becoming more aware of one’s surroundings.
“The present moment is all we ever have, and it’s where true power lies. Embrace it fully and world is yours”
The book also explores the concept of the “ego” and how it contributes to our suffering. Tolle argues that:
The ego is a false sense of self that we create in our minds, and that it is responsible for many of our negative emotions and behaviours.
‘The Power of Now’ is a powerful and transformative book that encourages readers to live in the present moment and let go of their attachment to the past and future. It offers practical advice and spiritual insights that can help readers find greater peace, happiness, and fulfilment in their lives.
