In The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle shared the enlightenment he experienced after a startling personal transformation. This companion book extracts the essence of his teachings about how to free oneself from enslavement of the mind. His views go beyond any particular religion, doctrine, or guru. The goal is able to enter into and sustain an enlightened state of consciousness throughout everyday life.Through meditations and simple techniques, Eckhart shows readers how to quiet their thoughts, see the world in the present moment, and find the truest path to happiness.

Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany, graduated from the University of London and worked at Cambridge University. When he was twenty-nine, a profound spiritual transformation virtually dissolved his old identity and radically changed the course of his life. He is now a counsellor and and spiritual teacher. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
