The Power of Now

Most mental suffering, Eckhart Tolle argues, comes from attention stuck in a remembered past or a projected future rather than resting in the present moment. The Power of Now sets out what that observation means in practice. The text is arranged largely in question-and-answer form, moving from identification with thought toward acceptance, attention and what Tolle calls the pain-body. Pauses and short exercises are built into the chapters so the material can be read slowly, a little at a time, which is how it tends to work best for readers new to contemplative writing. A summary of the offering: • A widely read modern text on presence and mindful attention • Question-and-answer structure with short practice sections • Addresses anxiety, rumination and habitual overthinking • Yogi Impressions edition of a long-selling spiritual title For readers drawn to mindfulness, contemplative practice and inner work, available from Boipoka.
