The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle

1.0

The Power of Now is contemporary New Age/spiritual literature; it's a self-help book inspired heavily by religion. The basic premise of the book - to be present in the now, not dwell on the past, and be mindful of our thoughts - is a good one but Eckhart Tolle's voice and the manner in which he writes to his readers is off-putting and often condescending. There is less spiritual wisdom here than pompous New Age babble. In short, I wouldn't recommend it.
