Product Description:
In the best-selling book The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle explains in remarkably clear terms how living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. Tolle is a widely respected teacher whose views go beyond any particular religion, doctrine or guru, showing us how we can access our deepest self by living fully, and intensely, in the now. Amber Lotus Publishing is proud to partner with New World Library to produce The Power of Now 2007 wall calendar.
Each month pairs wisdom quotes by Mr. Tolle with the spectacular photography of David and Marc Muench. The images have been carefully selected to support the teachings of The Power of Now, helping readers to connect to this essential wisdom and to stay focused in the present moment all year long.
Sample caption:
All the things that truly matter – beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace – arise from beyond the mind.
Amazon.com Review:
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.
Tolle packs a lot of information and inspirational ideas into The Power of Now. (Topics include the source of Chi, enlightened relationships, creative use of the mind, impermanence, and the cycle of life.) Thankfully, he's added markers that symbolize 'break time.' This is when readers should close the book and mull over what they just read. As a result, The Power of Now reads like the highly acclaimed A Course in Miracles--a spiritual guidebook that has the potential to inspire just as many study groups and change just as many lives for the better. --Gail Hudson

Rating:  - You will either love it or hate it. I love it!
When I first heard about Eckhart Tolle and his "The Power of Now", I said, "Sounds like Buddhism, to me!"
I was very skeptical about Tolle because it sounded like he was just marketing Buddhism under his own name. I can see where some may still insist that this IS what he is doing. But I don't think so.
After hearing more about him I finally rented a dvd of his. I found his message indeed very "Buddhist" but with a "twist". But frankly I found his speaking style and his ... Read More
Rating: - First-rate Book
Maybe we all should live in the present moment as Eckheart Tolle suggests. Its true are problems are not really affecting us right now in the "present' so why dwell on them constantly. It's hard to let go of all that brain activity and just live in the `now'. As you read the book you learn how to make those changes for a more peaceful life.

Rating:  - ...with a grain of salt...
For the sake of my review, I see this book in two parts. The first is interesting, strange, helpful and also silly. Tolle does a good job of grabbing your attention with a very workable alternative to dealing with problems. As he explains it, there are no problems. All you have to do is agree with him and make them vanish from your interest.
Part two, about halfway in is when he starts stirring up his trouble. Now that he's got your attention, its time for his re-interpretations of Jesus. ... Read More
Rating: - wow!
A really awe-inspiring book...loaded with thought- provoking words. Mr. Tolle is truly an inspiration.
Rating:  - The first 1/3rd is good.
The first third of this book, the one that sets up the theme to which the title refers, is good. It basically states that the majority of our pain comes from our focus on the past (guilt, regret, blame, anger etc.) or the future (stress, anxiety, worry). The only thing we can impact, and the only thing that is truly real, is the now. Tolle encourages us to focus on the present moment, and he gives us ways that we can settle our thinking mind in favor of just being in the Now.
As Tolle expands ... Read More
