Ekhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice, and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means. Foremost, Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language. More importantly, within a chapter of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different container--more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness.

Now is the time

Worrying about the future ruins this moment. Dwelling on the past ruins this moment. Take time to smell the roses, and read this book. Also, two other books I'd like to suggest is one called, If Jesus Is So Darn Loving Then Why Is My Life In The Crapper, and another one called, Your best life now.

His website says it all...

Here is a fascinating page from Mr. Tolle's own website. It says a quite a lot about this man and will probably be helpful for you in deciding whether to buy:

The end of the search

This book has it all. Finally the end of the search for enlightenment. After 30 years of meditation, diets, asanas, pranayama, etc etc this book allows me to see that what I have been searching for all my life, I already have. I kept looking for an acid trip or something to let me know I had arrived, but that is NOT what it is. I could have saved thousands of dollars. I am no longer a seeker, but a finder. YEA!!!!

Now I reread this book just to get a smile. Brilliant work.
