Every sentence rings with truth and power” - Deepak Chopra "It's one of the best books to come along in years.
Complicated concepts are broken down into simple, conversational language, and the pages are bursting with inspirational ideas, and dripping with the kind of knowledge that only a true spiritual master can impart. This is not an entirely new or revolutionary concept, however his clear communication on the subject, and the way that he has written the book as a series of answers to pertinent questions about the how and the why of living in the present helps open the reader's eyes to a whole new way of living. I just knew that if I could only change the way I was thinking, and fully grasp the meaning of ‘The Power of Now’ as Eckhart Tolle had suggested, my life would be changed forever.Įckhart's message is simple: living in the moment is the truest, quickest, and simplest path to genuine happiness and enlightenment. For far too long I had been feeling like I didn’t belong anywhere, like I was a failure, never good enough, like there was something wrong with me, flitting between wallowing in the depths of tragedy and sadness from my past, to experiencing high anxiety of what the future might hold for me, while all the time allowing the simplicity and perfection of the present moment to completely pass me by. So much so, I had to immediately read it for a second time. Reading the book, I found it quite difficult to get through the first half, but I persevered, and then the rest just seemed to flow like a dream, and I realised I was receiving a little gift (nudge) from the Universe. That book - Eckhart Tolle’s ‘The Power of Now’, and apparently, she had found it in amongst my handful of treasured books at home and had taken it with her to read during her time in London.
‘Mum, you just have to read this book, it will change your life’, she declared.
It was during one of my ‘dark night of the soul’ moments (and yes, I have had a few), I was feeling particularly low and talking with my eldest daughter, and she informed me that she had just recently been reading this really good book. I can’t exactly say when this book first came into my possession, other than it was ‘there’ when I needed it. I believe books ‘write’ themselves, and I also believe that books come to you when they are meant to, at the ‘right’ time. I wholeheartedly believe this book to be worthy of the number one spot here on the ‘What’s on Mal Steven’s Bookshelf’ page (and sometimes I LOVE a book so much, I have multiple copies so I can have a copy with me always no matter where I am x) THIS BOOK WITHOUT A DOUBT CHANGED MY LIFE (MY WORLD).
