I admit it, I'm a scientific skeptic and annoyed by "new age speak" and unsubstantiated claims of spiritual powers and enlightenment. So when my girlfriend recommended I read Tolle's book about the "now experience", I was incredulous. However, I quickly realized Tolle's book in a category by its self. No grandiose claims, panacea remedies, or motivational empowerment here. His penetrating insights that will make you STOP what you are doing, and I guess that's the point. The "now awareness" Tolle describes is available to everyone (new age seeker, or skeptic). My girlfriend and I have finally found common ground. If nothing else, it's a breath of sanity. Read it before you die.

I've read this book twice and also saw the author live a few weeks ago in San Francisco. He battled for many years with severe depression, and looked for answers to his life through higher learning before having a complete change of life and finding inner peace and joy through living in the present moment. He encourages the reader to let go of the ego and brain "noise" and be in the now, which is how he says he lives. Most all of the "problems" we have in life don't directly effect us in the moment, yet we are controlled and tortured by them he says. Tolle also makes the case for healing past pain and suffering through simply being fully here now. Making these changes in our materialistic, image possessed, ego driven society is a challenge indeed, but he would say it's our only way out. This is truly life changing stuff.

If you want to read one book and one book only to change your way of thinking, buy this book. The principles that Mr. Tolle proposes are so simple and should be intuitive for any sane human being and like many things, we forget and ignore the most obvious. Most of the book is in a question and answer format. Some questions are simple and explanations are simple. Most questions are profound and answers are equally profound.

After reading the entire book, the last question interviewer asks on the last page is probably every one wants to ask Mr. Tolle. His answer(read the book and only look at the answer after you finished the entire book) is dramatic, succinct and bliss-provoking. I carry this book in my brief case all the time. You never know when you need an uplifting message!

Lisez ce livre avec attention et vous serez peut-être surpris(e) de voir qu'un livre peut commencer à changer votre vie maintenant et tout de suite vers une vie plus heureuse, celle à laquelle on aspire tous. Bien sûr ça demande de la persévérance mais c'est simple et sain. Tout le monde peut le faire avec de la volonté. Rien de magique... ou peut-être que si mais la magie est déjà en nous . Alors pourquoi pas la redécouvrir?

Super book with a poweful and real message!! A must read for all which will change the lives of the all in the world!

I found this read very interesting , reminding me of things I have done intuitively myself and giving me a kind of wakeup call for now :-)

A lire absolument pour ceux qui sont en quête de spiritualité. Les analyses sont pertinentes. Une très bonne interprétation des philosophies orientales et des religions occidentales trop souvent incomprises.

Livre particulièrement pertinent et opérationnel, il se démarque du marécage new-age par le vécu et la modestie de son auteur.

This is one of those books when you gain a fuller understanding of the simplicity of enlightenment each time you read it. E.Tolle tries to deliver enlightenment to his readers in a way that will not confuse them, by bringing you constantly back to the now moment, where enlightenment is to be found. He gives some examples of how to do this in a practical way. Some parts of it are a little hard to grasp at first, but its mostly an easy book to get your head around, with a lot of deep insights about how to gain true happiness and mental clarity. A good companion for this book would be the more direct book The One: (Finding Reality & The Awakening of Spiritual Awareness) . Both books share the same deep message and combined they hold all you need to know concerning enlightenment.

Ce livre est un enseignement exceptionnel.
Il est capable de changer la vie de celui qui le lit pour l'amener à découvrir sa vraie nature.
Simple, claire, l'essence de toutes les sagesses est exposée dans cet ouvrage.
