Synopsis
The author of "The Power of Now" reveals specific, powerful insights on how to be present in this very moment. Tolle teaches easy techniques for self-observation, how to stop the endless stream of thoughts that interrupt, and methods for breaking out of object consciousness by tapping into an intelligence that is greater than the personal mind.

Customer Reviews

Entering the now happened when I listen to it
I bought this cassette about 3 years ago and as I lay listening to it for the first time I started to drift off. Then all of a sudden his words came through much stronger as though someone had turned the volume up on the stereo, I was fully awake and I had slipped into the "NOW". It was amazing and alive, multi dimensional, beyond description really. But everything he said then became sort of highlighted and so easy to understand. What was being said was then being listen to in a different way. It is hard to describe that first experience.

Good for all the wrong reasons
This audio book did NOT live up to its description. However, at £11.02 from the Marketplace it turned out unexpectedly to be superb value.
Finding it difficult to get to sleep, I played disk 1 and was asleep long before it finished. Tolle's voice is monotonous and sleep inducing; the (deliberately) long gaps between words or phrases are at first disconcerting, but I found myself laughing at his delivery and content. I was reminded of Peter Sellers' Party Political Broadcast where he speaks for a long time but actually says nothing.
I would award only 1 star for meeting the product description, but 5 stars (and I really am serious here) as a better aid to sleep than a quite music CD.
