The only way to check if you are truly living or not is to find out how present you are. How much presence goes into what you do? and how much of the past and future you rethink on autopilot?

Eckhart has given a very simple and effective insight into the process of living in present. The whole book is beautifully divided into small sections and signs are added in every section to pause and think about the important paragraphs and understand their real meaning.

Spiritual definition according to Echkart Tolle. Much simpler to understand. Those who find Gita difficult to read can definitely go for it.
We as human beings do not surrender and that is why we get pain. Actually we have to rise above both pain and pleasure and to do that we need to surrender to the present.

I was looking for the best mindfulness book. But undoubtedly “Power of Now” is the best mindfulness book. Eckhart has not mentioned the word mindfulness, because mindfulness is the state of mind without thoughts. Great book. The book greatly describes the meaning of TRUE HAPPINESS.
