Donniesands's Reviews > The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

"The Power of Now" has brought many people a sense of peace so I would not discount the experience someone else may have had with this book. That aside, I would say that this book did not reach me in as positive ways as others have received it. I have been reading many books on spirituality, enlightenment and mindfulness and I'd say other than being a good place to start, Eckhart Tolle's book is a mediocre and perhaps basic overview of various aspects of Eastern Religion mixed with self-help. This book only touches vaguely on the deep concepts of mindfulness. I could see how some people may like the easy answers this book provides but it was not enough for me. I had some moments that inspired me as I read the book so it was not a complete waste of time. But I think there are much better books that really go deeply and carefully into the concepts touched in this one.
