Overview | Chapter 1

Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today, we will introduce you to the book Power of Now.

In recent years, people’s pace of life is accelerating, and the pressure of competition is also increasing. This leads to frequent occurrences of depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders. According to the Global Emotions Report conducted by the analytics company Gallup, over the years, the social negative mood index of global respondents has increased year by year, and people around the world are more depressed, angry, and scared than ever. German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, believes that the life of an individual is a constant struggle. Do you agree? What kind of emotional pain have you experienced in your life? How can we face our pain and be free from it? Perhaps, you can find the answer in the Power of Now.

The author of this book is the world-famous spiritual mentor, Eckhart Tolle. In his youth, Tolle also suffered from depression, anxiety and at times was even suicidal. However, just when he was on the brink of complete despair, an unexpected experience miraculously liberated him. Since then, he has been living in a state of serenity and peace.

The experience, at that time, completely changed Tolle’s life. Since then, he has devoted himself to explaining, integrating, deepening this change, and sharing his practical experience to others. At present, he gives lectures all over the world. Through teaching, he conveys this message to people in simple and clear language: we can free ourself from this pain and move deeply into the world of inner peace.

The Power of Now which originated from Tolle’s lectures, seminars and consulting meetings, is a classic. This book helps us realize that we feel pain and live with constant anxiety because we have been under the control of our brain. We are constantly recalling the past and worrying about the future, when in truth the past and the future are just meaningless conceptions of time. Everything is happening in the present and that is all we will truly ever have. Only by focusing on the Now can we be free from pain and achieve inner peace and serenity.

Let’s read this book for you from the following three aspects:

Part One: Why do people feel pain?

Part Two: How does moving deeply into the Now ease pain?

Part Three: How can we move deeply into the Now?
