The Power of Now
Spirituality, Psychology
Living on your own can be exhilarating. It’s empowering to control and create your own life choices. Sometimes, it’s a double-edged sword. When times are tough, we worry. We find ourselves lying awake at 3:00 a.m., wondering, “What’s going to happen to me? Will I make it through this rough patch? I’m in trouble; what am I going to do?!”
If you’re not careful, panic and fear take over, and you drown in a sea of “one damn thing after another.” The Power of Now is a roadmap that can lead you out of pain and suffering.
The Power of Now is set up in a Q & A format. It explains the origins of pain, fear, and suffering. It gives you actionable steps to transform dark moments into a state of clarity that will lead you to your path of peace.
There is a reason this book has sold 5 million copies, and Eckhart’s YouTube Channel has 1.5 million subscribers – his teachings work.
Post-pandemic, I was searching for a job. It’s baffling, but it became harder to find a job during The Great Resignation. As I was running out of money, I would lie awake wondering how I would find a job while fighting sexism, racism, and ageism. I had images of living out of my car in a couple of weeks!
Eckhart’s teachings worked. I was able to calm my mind, find clarity, find peace, and find a job. The Power of Now has changed the lives of millions.
During an interview, Oprah said, “It [The Power of Now] is always by my bedside. No matter where I am, I carry it with me”. Oprah is one of the world’s most powerful solo dwellers. She sees the power in this book. Once you read it, I hope you will too.
Eckhart Tolle is a teacher who walks the walk. He has experienced pain, suffering, and homelessness. His book, The Power of Now, is a tool that will help you on your spiritual journey.
