Tolle is one of the most influential proponents of the principle of living in the present moment. In this book, published last year, he guides the reader to the light of awareness, of consciousness, that dwells within and helps one transcend the ego. By his own account, this book is not for everyone. “This book is about you. It will change your state of consciousness or it will be meaningless. It can only awaken those who are ready.”
Those who don't feel ready for this book might like to...

I thought it was pretty much a pile of crap! I never throw a book away. I guess there is a first time for everything.

    It is a good book; makes you think. However, I connected more with "The Power of Now", his first book. The writing seemed deeper and very genuine. Overall, I found his first book to be a better read. Maybe I didn't like it as much because some of the concepts mentioned were repeated.

    I didn't read the book because Oprah said so. I ran across it in a section of the library and thought it looked interesting. I agree with some of what is written but some of it I completely disagree with! The chapter on........ "this too shall pass" I read and re-read and came to the conclusion that if I am in my densest form I am going to appreciate the true highs and lows. I don't want to go through my life trying to stay at the center and becoming comfortably numb. You are here to live and experience form through form............ no form will come soon enough!

    I've started reading this and following along with Oprahs webcasts... It is a bit deep in places but makes so much sense and really changes your perspective on lots of things...

    I have become much calmer and more laid back since strting it and i let things go , that previousley would have eaten away at me..

    an awesome read....

    I'm finding this book to be a very nice "how to" guide to discovering our being. I am currently reading the chapter about the material world and our need to identify with it.

    I'm sending loving thoughts to those people who are so identified with the ego that they will allow themselves to become so consumed with hate. Oprah, Ghandi, Joe Shmoe, Me...we're all the same.
