The Power of Now: Worldwide Bestseller Now Available in Paperback!
by Eckhart Tolle
P.R. Contact: Monique Muhlenkamp

Perhaps once in a decade, or even once in a generation, a book like The Power of Now comes along.

It is one of those rare books that has the power to create an experience in readers, one that can change their lives for the better. The Power of Now is the work of a contemporary master, one who is not aligned with any particular religion or doctrine or guru, one who is able to do what all the great masters have done: show us, in simple and clear language, that the way, the truth, and the light is within us. This classic guide to spiritual enlightenment from a man who is emerging as one of our generation’s clearest, most inspiring teachers has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide; it has been translated into over 30 languages and has appeared on dozens of national bestseller lists, including #1 on The New York Times Bestseller List.

Oprah Winfrey credits The Power of Now with helping her to "get through September 11, 2001" and she featured it on her December 2002 "Oprah’s Favorite Things" show. The success of The Power of Now is nothing short of phenomenal.  This is even more astounding since Eckhart Tolle, by choice, is generally not available to the press and electronic media. As Tolle says in the book: “On the surface it seems that the present moment is only one of many, many moments.  Each day of your life appears to consists of thousands of moments where different things happen.  Yet if you look more deeply, is there not only one moment, ever?  Is life ever not “this moment?” The book is a potpourri, to be sure, but it is an authentic, unsentimental, and wisdom-laden guide to a fuller emotional, psychological, and more authentic life.  The big task: to practice daily what Tolle’s insights evoke.  He makes this easy for us in The Power of Now with his understandable, modern idiom which speaks both to the longtime spiritual seeker as well as the beginner.

“One of the best books to come along in years.  Every sentence rings with truth  and power."
— Deepak Chopra, author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success

This book is nearly impossible to read straight through — it requires you to put it down periodically, and reflect on Tolle’s words. It is a complete guide to meditation and realization, rather than just another book of principles or platitudes. It is a book to be revisited again and again — and each time you do, you gain new depth and meaning.  Like A Course in Miracles,  many people will want to study it for a lifetime, and it is already being called a masterpiece, a book with the power to change lives.

About the Author
Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany; at the age of 13 he moved to Spain with his father.  He graduated from the University of London, and was a research scholar and supervisor at Cambridge University.  At the age of 29 a profound spiritual transformation virtually dissolved his old identity and radically changed the course of his life.  The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey.  For the past 10 years he has been a counselor and spiritual teacher, working with individuals and small groups in Europe and North America.  He is the author of Practicing the Power of Now, and Stillness Speaks. He has lived in Vancouver, Canada, since 1996.
