About this book
Eckhart Tolle wrote The Power of Now as a guide back to the present moment, arguing that most of our suffering comes from replaying the past or worrying about the future rather than meeting what is actually in front of us. It has become a touchstone for readers exploring mindfulness and consciousness, whether they are new to the topic or have an established meditation practice. It sits comfortably in our intuition & spirituality collection and alongside balance & wellness reading, and pairs well with Dear Universe if you want shorter, practice-based reading to complement it.

How to use it
Many readers move through it slowly, sitting with a chapter or even a passage before continuing, since the ideas reward reflection more than speed-reading. If you are new to this kind of writing, it can help to keep a journal nearby and jot down what comes up as you read, rather than treating it purely as information to absorb. It also holds up well as a book to return to over years, often landing differently depending on where you are in your own life.
Care & storage
Store the book away from damp and direct sunlight, and it will hold up well through repeated reading and reference over time.
