Entering the Now (Power of Now) [Abridged, Audiobook, Unabridged] [Audio Cassette]

Eckhart Tolle (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2003 | Series: Power of Now

Bestselling author Eckhart Tolle has captivated nearly a million readers with his lessons on discovering the profound state of being he calls "presence". On Entering the Now, an all-new title in the "Power of Now" teaching series, this remarkable speaker shares practices and insights to take listeners into "the timeless dimension"—a luminous place found only in this very moment that transcends the struggles and anxiety of our busy lives.

A walk in nature. A personal crisis. A moment of laughter. These can all serve as "portals" that lead us to the depth and wonder of the Now. In two compelling sessions, Eckhart Tolle guides listeners past the obstacles that keep us trapped in longing and unhappiness, and reveals the keys to experiencing what it really means to be alive. With easy-to-follow instruction and his one-of-a-kind teaching style, he shows listeners: the peace that unfolds when we "say yes to what is", how to use sense perceptions and the "inner body" to find a happiness independent of conditions, and how to step out of the constant stream of thought and open to authentic creativity, and much more.

More About the Author

Spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of twenty-nine a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of his life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey. Later, he began to work in London with individuals and small groups as a counselor and spiritual teacher. Since 1995 he has lived in Vancouver, Canada.

Eckhart Tolle is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Power of Now (translated into 33 languages) and A New Earth, which are widely regarded as two of the most influential spiritual books of our time. In 2008, A New Earth became the first spiritual book to be selected for Oprah's Book Club as well as the subject of a ten-week online workshop co-taught by Eckhart and Oprah.

Eckhart's profound yet simple teachings have helped countless people throughout the world find inner peace and greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of the teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human evolution. An essential aspect of this awakening consists in transcending our ego-based state of consciousness. This is a prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for the ending of violent conflict endemic on our planet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entering the Now (The Power of Now Teaching Series) [ABRIDGE, June 3, 2004

By 

"jbrennick" (Annandale, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Entering the Now (Teaching the Power of Now Series) (Audio CD)

"Entering the Now" was my first exposure to Eckhart Tolle and "The Power of Now" series...the most positively impactful thing I have ever read or listened to (and that's saying a lot)!

When I first listened to it, I laughed out loud...at Eckhart's humor, and more importantly because my mind was blown away by the concepts...after listening with great pleasure to this several times, and then to "The Power of Now," the life-changing concepts are sinking into practice and the quality of life for me and those around me has improved significantly.

This is the most important book/audio ever made. No exaggeration. You are not being responsible to yourself and those around you if you don't give it a try. Besides, it's fun.

Sincerely,
JB

1.0 out of 5 stars watch out, January 23, 2005

Music lover (Milano, Italy) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Entering the Now (Teaching the Power of Now Series) (Audio CD)

I love Eckhart Tolle and the content of these Cds is beautiful.

BUT this 2-CD set is already part of another 6-CD set entitled "Realizing the Power of Now: An In-Depth Retreat With Eckhart Tolle".

The point is that it is not clearly stated (unless you click on the cover picture to magnify it) and .....they have even used for this product a different title, colour and graphics!

As I bought both sets at the same time, when I found it out I felt cheated.

3.0 out of 5 stars Already Available As A Longer Set, August 19, 2010

Twisted Bamboo - See all my reviews

This review is from: Entering the Now (Teaching the Power of Now Series) (Audio CD)

The contents of this is already available as part of Realizing The Power Of Now. It does say it on the cover of the CD, "Excerpted from Realizing The Power of Now," but it should be stated online when sold on websites such as this one. I recommend bypassing this one and getting the longer version, which is excellent.
