Beyond anything I can sayMarch 24, 2000 13 out of 14 found this review helpful
This book, which I am only half way through, is the most meaningful I have ever read. If you seek answers, here is where I would suggest you begin. If you have ever wondered how the Buddha or Jeshua or any enlightened person would speak to you today, look here.
No fun for the intellectMarch 15, 2000 25 out of 27 found this review helpful
Tired of your ego turning every spiritual practice into a pat on the back? The intellect dead-ends in this no frills book. It inspired me to go hear the author speak, which is an even more stunning experience...the first time I AND my friends were "zapped" with that powerful transmission coming from true silence. Subsequently, for the first time, we could actually still our minds for more than a nanosecond. Catch Tolle's dramatization of the ego grasping for status and security...it's a riot that will make it hard to take the notion of a small self as seriously again! He is, regardless, not one of the snappy dressers, not one of the glam performing gurus who will give you lots of concepts to think over and over. He WILL give you a lot NOT to think about!

This is the spiritual book I had been waiting for a long time.From the first page I could know that Mr.Eckhart Tolle is the true teacher of the essence of spirtuality.Like shrewd Zen master,his way of saying is direct,simple and very,very clear.My deepest appreciation for Mr.Echart Tolle.
Life AlteringFebruary 19, 2000 The best book I've ever read on how to live in the "now" and what that really means. The book quite simply, transformed my life in a minute. The author writes in a clear concise way and everything he says makes perfect sense. Reading this book is like turning on a lightbulb over your head and realizing the lights mostly been switched off. There's no other word for it except amazing.
Best book in 18 yearsFebruary 13, 2000 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The best book I've read since I discovered Vernon Howard's writing 18 years ago. Exceptionally clear, succinct, accessable. As one reviewer here stated: "5 stars are not enough". Congratulations, Mr. Tolle.
