 An elegant paradox....a passage into inner calm, peace & happiness, that's always there for you., 2008-06-12
Paradoxically, in a society that desires immediate gratification, this book leads the reader to an immediate solution to the constant underlying discontent that pervades "normal" daily living. And, with this, dissolves the need for that very same gratification. Wow. The increasing degree of inner calm, peace, and contentment in my life are my measures of effectivenes with this book. I have given it (and Eckhart Tolle's book, A New Earth) as gifts over and over again. Eckhart's teaching is a beautiful blend of wisdom from many ancient teachers and many faith traditions (strong on Buddhist and Christian principles), I cannot imagine how it could ever offend anyone. It will deepen and increase the sacredness of anyone's spiritual life. The messages and the practices that are the basis of the teaching in this book are ancient...but they have been beautifully and uniquely blended and packaged for immediate application and practice in our world today. Eckhart is a very special gifted teacher and writer. I apply this same review to A New Earth, but recommend this book as a first read.

Beautiful, Practical and Intelligent, 2008-06-01
Eckhart Tolle, the author of the international bestseller, "Power of Now," highlights his essential teachings and then skillfully offers effective meditations and practices, so that the reader may directly realize the true power of living in the present moment. These exercises encourage a revolutionary shift beyond the mind-made self and its waiting, worrying and fear, so that we may get out of our minds and into the heart. When we are willing to step out of time into the refuge of our timelessness, we live in harmony and peace.

 A disappointed admirer, 2008-05-12
Although I have the utmost admiration for Eckhart Tolle and his teachings, I must admit that I was somewhat disappointed in "Practicing the Power of Now". Based on the title, I expected more in the way of meditations, techniques and exercises than were found in "The Power of Now", his bestseller, and the first of Tolle's works I'd read.
Unless I'm mistaken, the few techniiques described in "Practicing..." are actually found in "The Power of Now", and this new book is little more than a condensed version of the first.
My advice to someone wanting to explore the teachings of Mr. Tolle, would be to buy "The Power of Now"...a more complete and original work.
 A Valuable tool to becoming your Authentic Self, 2008-05-11
Excellent guide to self discovery and inner peace.
A great prerequisite to his other books.

practising the power of Now, 2008-04-22
I firstly purchased Eckard Tolle's book The Power of Now. It was an eyeopener and I couldn't wait to get the practising one. I have found it excellent in getting to the nitty gritty of the former. both books should be read by anybody looking to get more out of living. I shall purchase any other of his writings in the near future.
