 practical and life-changing, 2008-04-11
I was dubious about this book in the beginning, when I learned that a lot of it was taken from the Power of Now. But I've found that it was works excellently on a practical level. It contains many transformational exercises and examples. It's the kind of book you can just pick up and open at any page at any moment. Eckhart's work has been life-changing for me, and has led me on to other stunning books which are recommended on his website, such as The Fall: The Evidence for a Golden Age, 6,000 years of Insanity and the Dawning of a New EraThe Fall by Steve Taylor

Profound and powerful, 2008-04-07
I am working through a period of change, uncertainty and moderately severe anxiety (with PTSD as a potential factor resulting from a traumatic event a year ago). This book has helped me as much as, or more than, anything else so far (counseling, meditation, other books, acupuncture).
I chose Practicing TPoN as an intro to Tolle. I believe it is simply a distillation of the material in the TPoN so those who are criticizing it as nothing new have missed the point. If you've read TPoN there's no reason to get this book.
I've found it powerful and revealing. Has changed the way I view my thoughts, my behavior, and the people and world around me. Most spiritual teachers are essentially recycling ancient wisdom or universal truths which have developed over the millennia. So really it comes down to language - what words does the teacher use and do these words resonate with you. Tolle is a master with language and this is the difference I think.
On the negative side, he sometimes speaks in absolute terms - like if you do A, then B will happen, period. I think he needs to stress that there are no guarantees and allow for shades of gray. But the basic messages ring true.

Practicing the Power of Now, 2008-04-06
This book helps us do what we all need to do, understand why we fail to be all we are capable of being. This starts us on the path of truly becoming HUMAN.
Best CD/Book I've ever heard! , 2008-04-06
This is truly the BEST Book on CD I've ever heard! I Wish I would have listened to this 30 years ago!!!
It's a must read for everyone on the planet. I do believe the Author and his invaluable information
are gifts from God. Thank God for this fabulous CD/BOOK!!!
Wow in the Now, 2008-04-06
Reading these books and putting to use what Eckhart says is truly life altering. I find when I'm in the Now, I'm more focused, more productive and happier. The mind chaos is quite deafening now that I've experienced silence.
