The Power of Now (Collector's Edition)

When I read the first chapter of this book, I shed tears of happiness. I knew how much this book meant to me, because I was in a period of severe anxiety at that time, and I couldn't find my direction in a dark period. This book seemed to suddenly wake me up and pull me out of my deep thinking. It turns out that my pain is only the pain of thinking, and thinking and I can be separated. I am grateful that I read this book at the age of 22. I think this book can accompany me throughout my life. Thank you for such a good book.

A very good book. I often like the shocking feeling that a book can bring me, but this book, as it said in the article, has a deep tranquility under the lake. I love this feeling. At the same time, I am grateful for the translation of this book (I think it is a foreign author). I think a book can bring people power. Every link in the middle is very important. The translation is also very good. There is also the platform Tomato. I have gained more and more on this platform recently. Sometimes I suddenly feel that living in this world is really a beautiful thing.

Eckhart also has another book "New World: Spiritual Awakening" that he recommends to those who are destined to do so.

Here and now, within, and ontology all emphasize that we should be based on the present, accept reality, not create illusions, and accept the current situation unconditionally. This is a kind of strength, it is not a compromise, it is a selfless state of living towards death. We can do nothing and we can do everything. We are strong and fragile. Strength is the essence, and vulnerability is the ego. To find the true nature buried under the ego, one needs to be highly vigilant at all times to maintain a state of presence, to become a conscious carrier and not to become an unconscious puppet.

Everyone needs to find inner peace, especially in this modern society where all kinds of information are flooding in. Although there are similar methods in ancient classics, every era has its own classics. The text of this book is simple and easy to understand but contains profound philosophy. It is especially suitable for modern people to read. The author also has a book called "New World, Awakening of Spirituality" with more beautiful words. Unfortunately, there are basically no online e-book platforms. It is not very useful to memorize this kind of book like knowledge. It needs to be read repeatedly and practiced in life. Borrowing from the perspective of Confucianism or Buddhism, it is more appropriate to use "xiu". I am ashamed to say that I have been exposed to books on this subject for a long time, but when external negative emotions come in, it is still easy to arouse the ego, trigger the pain body, and lose the power of calm in the moment. But as the last chapter of the book says, surrender to the present moment, everything that happens is just right, and the same is true for me now when I am writing a book review.

Recommended for everyone to read. It is a very in-depth article. It is highly recommended for friends with anxiety and depression who are trapped in the past and future. Reading it will help you learn to slowly enjoy the present moment, so that every day will be full of joy. At least you will no longer be stuck in the inherent thinking.

"The Power of Now" can be called a spiritual reading classic. Since its English version was published in 2004, it has been translated into more than 30 languages ​​and has sold more than 2 million copies. This book is the third Chinese edition. Author Eckhart Tolle guides us in the book to discover that we have always been under the control of our brains or thoughts and live in eternal anxiety about time. We cannot forget the past and worry about the future. But in fact, we can only live in the present, in this moment, everything happens in the present, and the past and future are just meaningless concepts of time.

Three brushes are suitable for reading from time to time. When you are confused and have nothing to do, read it once to find the state and then continue in the same situation. Write your own thoughts in the process and gain insights in this cycle. It can be said that 80% of this book is very important. The author compares his heart to his heart. Many contents are repeating the same concept. It is mainly used by novices who have a shallow understanding of meditation or the importance of concentration. Sometimes when you are reading, you really have an epiphany in just a moment, and you will have an epiphany while reading. And reading this book, you can continue to have epiphanies, in the back and forth I just mentioned. Constantly detached, and will have a wonderful feeling when reading "Tao Te Ching" and other related books. Contemporary people can say that 80% of ordinary people should read this kind of book, and I strongly recommend it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Each paragraph of this book seems simple but actually contains profound connotations. It can free me from some negative emotions and look at the present from a new perspective. It is worth learning.

All dharma taught by the Buddha are Buddhist dharma. I feel like this book is a modern Western version of Buddhism. This book uses a modern scientific approach to describe the relationship between people and Taoism. This book is so precious and I sincerely recommend it!

The ego's life (and the life of most of us) is to live in the dimension of "object-time-existence". It spends its whole life chasing and judging objects, being trapped in time, trying to fill the void with content. Awakening (enlightenment) is to switch to the dimension of "subject-present-emptiness", to recognize that oneself is observation rather than content, to dwell in eternity rather than time, and to exist as nothingness. The silent observer who carries everything but not everything - "emptiness" is the deepest essence of "I". It transcends the duality and subjective emotions caused by thinking and judgment (the pain body that forces you to identify). It is a truth of life that does not require thinking to understand, but can be lived directly. Perhaps this is the inner "inner spirit" called by Christianity, the "free Buddha nature" called by Buddhism, the source of life (Atman) called by Hinduism, and the connotation of "Tao" called by Laozi.

After reading it for the first time, it is really a good book worth reading again and again. It fully explains the human "ego" and the divine "self", as well as how to maintain a state of presence. The difficulty is not how to maintain it, but how to practice it in joining the world. Society is very complicated. We have relatives and it is impossible for us to live without desires and desires, so we have to find ways to find a balance between divinity and humanity. My own experience is that divinity is more suitable for practicing alone so that it can become the root of our body. When we are in the world, we have more human choices and tools while maintaining the foundation.

This book really resonated with me. Just like a friend of mine, he is always worried about the future and lives a very anxious life. This book tells us to live in the present, the past and the future are not important, which really inspired me a lot. Moreover, the examples in the book are also very vivid, such as the one who got angry in the middle of the night, which made me understand the root cause of our suffering. I think this is a book that can bring peace of mind and is worth reading.

The book "The Power of Now" taught me how powerful the present moment is. Presence awareness and acceptance of the present moment are important. It empowers you and gives you a space to focus on the present moment and what to do in the present moment. When I was reading this book, there were a few chapters that were a little difficult for me to understand. I read the first six chapters very smoothly, and started to get a little stuck from the seventh chapter, but it did not affect my liking for the whole book. By the way, I loved Chapter 9, haha

"The Power of Now" can be called a spiritual reading classic. Since its English version was published in 2004, it has been translated into more than 30 languages ​​and has sold more than 2 million copies. This book is the third Chinese edition. Author Eckhart Tolle guides us in the book to discover that we have always been under the control of our brains or thoughts and live in eternal anxiety about time. We cannot forget the past and worry about the future. But in fact, we can only live in the present, in this moment, everything happens in the present, and the past and future are just meaningless concepts of time.

It's really good, it makes people aware of and focus on the present moment.

The depth of reading for a very profound book is estimated to be divided into five levels. The first level is superficial reading, and the second level is deeper reading. After reading, you will learn some ways to improve yourself and solve emotional problems. The third is to read it better and understand the cultivation methods in it. You can practice your breathing and calm your emotions. The fourth is to be familiar with and understand the whole book, and be able to comprehensively change the perspective of looking at the world. There is basically no emotional fluctuations, no external pursuits, and one is complete. The fifth is the most difficult level to reach - the state of enlightenment. I am the universe, and the universe is me.

Accept the facts, accept the existence of things, and allow things to happen. I took a lot of notes. Suddenly I have a new feeling: trapping myself in a certain emotion and immersing myself in it is just because I don't know how to accept the facts and what I want to do. Rely on this familiar emotion and relive it again and again. There is probably also a trace of confusion looking towards the future. When you are aware of your own state, it is up to you to decide when to get out of the current state. It is just a matter of a second thought or a thought. The only thing that traps you is your own thoughts!

After going through a lot of pain, I accidentally read this book. After the immersive experience, I gained a lot. The inner peace made me happy, and the power of the moment made me focus. However, there are still many things I don't understand, so I will read it again.

I have read many psychology books, many of which are based on dismantling concepts, which had a certain impact on me at the time, but I returned to my original mental state after a while. This book is different. In the process of reading it, I followed the practice and observed my unconscious thinking state while remaining present and without judgment. Even if this state of presence was only for a short moment, a hole was opened in my unconscious thinking. With this hole, the resistance of the ego mentioned in the book was gradually disintegrated. At this moment, I could deeply feel that I was not controlled by my true self. I surrendered and accepted it. I believe that with continuous practice, I can keep myself present for longer and longer, unaffected by time, space and other external things.

The content is profound, but it is definitely the way to relief!

When I let go of the search for meaning, meaning emerged. Reflect on how much of the pain you have suffered is caused by the past or the future? When you break away from the pain caused by the pain body in the future and past, when you break away from your own thinking, observe yourself from a third-person perspective, and feel the present, you will find that you have the ability to face the present. To deal with the present moment correctly, let yourself consciously see how thoughts and emotions work in the present moment and how we are affected by it. Only in the present moment can we truly realize the existence of our own essence. Find your own origin and let the outside world and yourself no longer push you forward. Overall, it's okay. I'll explain it by focusing on returning to the present moment.

The "surrender" aspect of this book reminds me of the phrase "Say Yes." There are these lines in the song "Say Yes to Heaven"—— "If you dance I'll dance. And if you don't I'll dance anyway. Give peace a chance. Let the fear you have fall away." Just right.

Focus on the present moment, stay aware, peel off the brain and body, and return to the heart!

A very excellent book. I feel so honored and lucky to have encountered this book at the age of 21.

Surrender to your true self, connect the world, no secrets

I have read many books, but none of them made me feel like I was born again, away from many unconscious thoughts, truly knowing consciousness, the ontology above thinking, and how to deal with anxiety and pain. Thank you very much! I hope more people will read this book and return to inner peace.

The only product I could grab for in-company purchase was the book "The Power of Now". When I was bored, I flipped through it and found that this book might be more suitable for people who are confused and in pain. It teaches you how to deal with anxiety and confusion. I can share a few principles that the book taught me, "1. Only by living in the present can you get rid of anxiety and pain; 2. Learning to surrender can make you less anxious; 3. Use the power of the present to help you obtain perfect love."

What this book makes me feel is not a boring theory, but a careful conversation with a person who has rich life experience. Many things cannot be judged from a scientific perspective, but they can go straight to the depths of my heart.

I have always felt that it is incredible that a book with a strong subjectivity can clearly explain its own subjectivity from different aspects, and can truly bring such a strong and stable power to people. It is really rare for a translator to translate this article so concisely and logically. Fortunately, I opened this book when I was most disappointed.
