It seems that Oprah has been gushing all over this guy for some time but this had passed me by as I rarely watch it, here in the UK.

I was actually introduced to his works whilst watching the RSD Blueprint seminar.

With both the text and the audio versions, which one should I use? At the moment, I don’t have the time to dedicate to several hours of uninterrupted reading plus I figured that listening to the audio would be a nice way to introduce myself to his teachings.

The great advantage of this audio book is that you do not get some famous narrator reading his book aloud – you get the real Eckhart Tolle so I reckon that this can only help to get the message across.

I fired up my old X-Box and began to listen whilst driving around racing circuits in Forza Motorsport.

I have not yet finished “Power of Now” but the message to me is quite clear already:

• thoughts arise from our obsession with the past (which we cannot change) and the future
• such thoughts give rise to negative emotions
• negative emotions give rise to physical ailments (manifestations)
• the way to overcome all of this is to live in the “now”, without thoughts
• most people in this world do not live in the now, they are obsessed with the past and the future
• the original message of most religions is to live in the now

If you want to read this book online, you can get it at Google Books.

If you prefer a physical copy you can feel and touch, I’ve included a link to Amazon below.
