In this exquisite self help guide to embracing the present moment, Tolle explains the beauty of forgetting one’s past and freeing oneself from the confines of future-oriented worry. He highlights that, in doing so, and quieting the mind completely, one finds the sole mechanism enabling the reception of the blissful sensations of present moment living. As a victim of ADHD, my mind wanders continuously, constantly moving from regretting and remembering the past, to attempting to predict the future. In The Power of Now, the author emphasizes the fact that all humans are victims of their mental and thought-encumbered straightjackets, or, essentially, that we all live within their own mind. Through this fulfilling read you will learn to free yourself from the rigors of emotional pain, by coming to the realization of the futility inherent in our nonexistent and self-fabricated mental images, memories and, truly unknowable predictions. By following along in Tolle’s philosophies of the mind, the book will mentor you towards immersing yourself in the Now and jettisoning all other mind-centered thoughts and notions that create unnecessary and unproductive angst and discontent.
