The Power Of Now | Author

I read this book two months ago. By far this is the best book I have read. Anyone who is working towards a goal or a dream should read this book. The world is constantly changing. Our needs are changing. We are always living in an autopilot mode. We don’t know what is happening in our lives. We are always thinking about something. Always lost in our own world of simulation. We are so lost that we don’t actually know what’s happening in the present. This book taught me to take it easy and live the present. This book discusses how we are always thinking something, our minds are continuously running. We don’t take a break from it. We don’t stop thinking for even a few minutes. We need to stop this. We all want to live a life of freedom, no clinging and craving attached to anything. But we are always attached to our thoughts that stop us from living our lives to the fullest. Get back to the day where you wanted to be happy, then something hit you, you got reminded of old days, your past. Get back to that day where you were happy, but you thought about the future and got worried. Those are the example of how our minds don’t let us embrace our present. This is a book that teaches you to stay in the present moment and always be aware of your body, feelings, and emotions. Usually, we are always busy in our minds. We get lost in thoughts about the future. What we could have done is live in the present moment. As we get lost in our compulsive thinking we develop a pattern of thinking, and that governs our living. Of course, thinking is an important activity but you cannot be thinking every second of your life. Keep a timer, think about something, a problem or something that is worrying you then forget it. Keep a journal and write your thoughts on it then forget it. This book has the power to change your life, only if you detach yourself from your mind and be present in the now. Fully alive and embracing every moment that life presents us. This book is another must read.

“As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love — even the most simple action.”

― Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

“Nothing has happened in the past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the Now.”

― Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now
