Overview

With his international bestseller The Power of Now nearing one million copies in print, the humble man known as Eckhart Tolle is fast becoming America’s most popular spiritual teacher. Recognized for his unique ability to draw listeners into the awakened state he calls "presence," Tolle continues to top bestseller lists and fill auditoriums with men and women seeking a deeper sense of connection with life. Now, in a momentous publishing event, Realizing the Power of Now invites listeners to immerse themselves in a full-length audio retreat with Eckhart Tolle.

Recorded at a rare five-day gathering led by Eckhart Tolle, here is a special opportunity for those familiar with his work — or hearing it for the first time — to transcend the finite world of fluctuating thoughts, ambitions, and fears, and touch their true essence. This all-new program includes insights into: entering the Now through the portal called "allow", how to use the "inner body" and sense perceptions to find a peace that exists independent of conditions, expanding the space between thoughts for a deeper experience of the Now, and much more.

Spoken simply, with his hallmark warmth, humor, and compassion, here is Eckhart Tolle’s full presentation of a beautiful way to live that arises through Realizing the Power of Now.

I must not be enlightened but if this is how it's done, no thank you. It takes him 5 minutes to finish a 5 word sentence. (Not really, however, he pauses so long between words it was creepy.)

Couldn't take this seriously

From what I understand, this guy is wildly popular. I just don't understand why. He's taken concepts from Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and a myriad of Eastern religions and combined them into a sort of New Age Soup without explaining any of the underlying philosophies of these various belief systems. Given the over-simplification of concepts and the stilted delivery peppered with a wheezing laugh that reminds me of Snidely Whiplash's dog Muttley, I simply could not take this audiobook seriously.
