"},{"label":"EditorialReviews","value":"This is not just another candy-ass elementary level celestine prophetic conversation supposedly with God clone. It is fresh, revealing, current, new inspiration. Power of Now is written from a depth of a person who has considered suicide, gone through his dark night of the soul and has come out the other side into his very personal and ecstatic enlightenment. If you are considering getting back in touch with your soul this book is a great companion.Now and then, time cultivates these perfect jewels. You find one and think nothing better is possible. Such is The Power of Now. A regular customer at our store, and student of Chi Gong said, "It not only synthesizes everything i've delved into, but it does it so clearly and simply." Many customers report back literally "thrilled" to have come across the book."},{"label":"TOC","value":"

Much more than simple principles and platitudes, The Power of Now takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, "the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death." Only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment."}],"additionalimages":[{"image":"https://prodimage.images-bn.com/pimages/9781577314806_p1_v3_s192x300.jpg"},{"image":"https://prodimage.images-bn.com/pimages/9781577314806_p0_v5_s192x300.jpg"}],"specifications":[{"label":"depth","value":"0.70"},{"label":"width","value":"5.50"},{"label":"publicationDate","value":"2004-09-21 00:00:00.0"},{"label":"edition","value":"First Trade Paper Edition"},{"label":"salesRank","value":"353"},{"label":"isbn13","value":"9781577314806"},{"label":"isbn10","value":"1577314808"},{"label":"height","value":"8.40"},{"label":"publisher","value":"New World Library"}],"isgiftcard":"false","additionalinfo":[{"label":"warningMessage","value":"Not Applicable"},{"label":"excludePromotionMessage","value":"Not Applicable"},{"label":"marketplaceBtnTxt","value":"134 New & Used from 1.99"},{"label":"siteName","value":"Barnes & Noble"},{"label":"preOrderableMsg","value":"Not Applicable"},{"label":"formatId","value":"121"},{"label":"usedListPrice","value":"0"},{"label":"usedSalePrice","value":"0"},{"label":"analyticsCode","value":"B1-026SA"},{"label":"neverForSaleMsg","value":"Not Applicable"},{"label":"skuType","value":"book"},{"label":"departmentCode","value":"1"},{"label":"usedPercentageSave","value":"0"},{"label":"secondaryFormat","value":"Paperback"},{"label":"storeAvailable","value":"false"},{"label":"Paperback","value":"First Trade Paper Edition"}],"itemid":"1100220492","features":[{"label":"shipRestrictionMsg","value":null},{"label":"soldBy","value":null},{"label":"sound","value":"[]"},{"label":"edition","value":"First Trade Paper Edition"},{"label":"language","value":"English"},{"label":"versionName","value":null},{"label":"seriesTitle","value":null},{"label":"presentation","value":"[]"},{"label":"catalogNumber","value":null},{"label":"regionCode","value":"Not applicable"},{"label":"enableContributorSeriesFeature","value":"true"},{"label":"numberOfPages","value":"235"},{"label":"shipRestrictionCode","value":"0"},{"label":"originalRelease","value":"0000"},{"label":"lexileDescription","value":null},{"label":"ageTo","value":null},{"label":"publicationDate","value":"2004-09-21 00:00:00.0"},{"label":"class","value":"com.bn.feed.dto.BNProductDetailsTab"},{"label":"height","value":"8.40"},{"label":"releaseDate","value":"09/21/2004"},{"label":"displayFormat","value":null},{"label":"parentFormat","value":"Paperback"},{"label":"publisherUrl","value":"/s/%22New World Library%22?Ntk=Publisher&Ns=P_Sales_Rank&Ntx=mode+matchall"},{"label":"seriesNumber","value":"0"},{"label":"lexile","value":null},{"label":"depth","value":"0.70"},{"label":"seriesUrl","value":null},{"label":"fileSize","value":null},{"label":"isbn13","value":"9781577314806"},{"label":"currentIssue","value":null},{"label":"width","value":"5.50"},{"label":"publisher","value":"New World Library"},{"label":"ageFrom","value":null},{"label":"isbn10","value":"1577314808"},{"label":"contentRating","value":null},{"label":"time","value":null}],"itemtype":"Paperback","publisher":"New World Library","sku":"9781577314806","shippingmessages":[{"name":"deliveryPromise","description":"Want it by Wednesday, September 26?"},{"name":"deliveryPromiseNote","description":"Order by 12:00 PM Eastern and choose Expedited Shipping at checkout."},{"name":"detailedText","description":"Want it by Wednesday, September 26?n, Order by 12:00 PM Eastern and choose Expedited Shipping at checkout."},{"name":"sameDayMessageLinkTest","description":"See Details"},{"name":"sameDayMessage","description":"Same Day shipping in Manhattan."},{"name":"externalLink","description":"//dispatch.barnesandnoble.com/content/ccr/h/modal/html/2015/7/get_it_same_day.use.html"},{"name":"freeShipEligibleMessage","description":"Eligible for FREE SHIPPING"},{"name":"freeShipEligibleMessageURL","description":"//dispatch.barnesandnoble.com/content/ccr/h/modal/html/2017/1/free-shipping.use.html"}]},"state":{"additionalproperties":[{"label":"sortedFormatPriorityOrder","value":"Hardcover"},{"label":"sortedFormatPriorityOrder","value":"Paperback"},{"label":"sortedFormatPriorityOrder","value":"NOOK Book"},{"label":"sortedFormatPriorityOrder","value":"Audiobook"}],"additionalinfo":[{"name":"Eckhart Tolle","link":"/s/"Eckhart Tolle"?Ntk=P_key_Contributor_List&Ns=P_Sales_Rank&Ntx=mode matchall","label":"Author"}]},"seodetails":{"description":"Much more than simple principles and platitudes, The Power of Now takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach...","canonical":"https://prodimage.images-bn.com/pimages/9781577314806_p1_v3_s1200x630.jpg","title":"Power-of-Now/Eckhart-Tolle"},"userinfo":[{"qualification":"University of London;

World-renowned spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle conveys simple wisdom that transcends any particular religion, doctrine, or guru. His #1 NYT bestselling book is a modern classic in the field of personal growth and spirituality; Oprah Winfrey credits The Power of Now with helping her to "get through September 11, 2001" and she featured it on her December 2002 "Oprahs Favorite Things" show. A native of Germany, Eckhart Tolle attended the University of London, and upon graduation went on to become a research scholar and supervisor at Cambridge University. At 29, a profound spiritual awakening virtually dissolved his personal identity and sparked a radical change in the course of his life. It marked the beginning of an intense inward journey and he devoted the next decade to understanding, deepening, and integrating that transformation. For the past ten years, he has acted as a counselor and spiritual guide, facilitating sold-out groups in Europe and North America. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia."},{"label":"ReadAnExcerpt","value":"
YOU ARE NOT YOUR MIND
THE GREATEST OBSTACLE TO ENLIGHTENMENT
Enlightenment what is that?
A beggar had been sitting by the side of a road for over thirty years. One day a stranger walked by. "Spare some change?" mumbled the beggar, mechanically holding out his old baseball cap. "I have nothing to give you," said the stranger. Then he asked: "What's that you are sitting on?" "Nothing," replied the beggar. "Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember." "Ever looked inside?" asked the stranger. "No," said the beggar. "What's the point? There's nothing in there." "Have a look inside," insisted the stranger. The beggar managed to pry open the lid. With astonishment, disbelief, and elation, he saw that the box was filled with gold.
I am that stranger who has nothing to give you and who is telling you to look inside. Not inside any box, as in the parable, but somewhere even closer: inside yourself.
"But I am not a beggar," I can hear you say.
Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material wealth. They are looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love, while they have a treasure within that not only includes all those things but is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.
The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment, and the ego likes to keep it that way, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being. It is a state of connectedness with something immeasurable and indestructible, something that, almost paradoxically, is essentially you and yet is much greater than you. It is finding your true nature beyond name and form. The inability to feel this connectedness gives rise to the illusion of separation, from yourself and from the world around you. You then perceive yourself, consciously or unconsciously, as an isolated fragment. Fear arises, and conflict within and without becomes the norm.
I love the Buddha's simple definition of enlightenment as "the end of suffering." There is nothing superhuman in that, is there? Of course, as a definition, it is incomplete. It only tells you what enlightenment is not: no suffering. But what's left when there is no more suffering? The Buddha is silent on that, and his silence implies that you'll have to find out for yourself. He uses a negative definition so that the mind cannot make it into something to believe in or into a superhuman accomplishment, a goal that is impossible for you to attain. Despite this precaution, the majority of Buddhists still believe that enlightenment is for the Buddha, not for them, at least not in this lifetime.
You used the word Being. Can you explain what you mean by that?
Being is the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death. However, Being is not only beyond but also deep within every form as its innermost invisible and indestructible essence. This means that it is accessible to you now as your own deepest self, your true nature. But don't seek to grasp it with your mind. Don't try to understand it. You can know it only when the mind is still. When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely in the Now, Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally. To regain awareness of Being and to abide in that state of "feeling-realization" is enlightenment.
* * *
When you say Being, are you talking about God? If you are, then why don't you say it?
The word God has become empty of meaning through thousands of years of misuse. I use it sometimes, but I do so sparingly. By misuse, I mean that people who have never even glimpsed the realm of the sacred, the infinite vastness behind that word, use it with great conviction, as if they knew what they are talking about. Or they argue against it, as if they knew what it is that they are denying. This misuse gives rise to absurd beliefs, assertions, and egoic delusions, such as "My or our God is the only true God, and your God is false," or Nietzsche's famous statement "God is dead."
The word God has become a closed concept. The moment the word is uttered, a mental image is created, no longer, perhaps, of an old man with a white beard, but still a mental representation of someone or something outside you, and, yes, almost inevitably a male someone or something.
Neither God nor Being nor any other word can define or explain the ineffable reality behind the word, so the only important question is whether the word is a help or a hindrance in enabling you to experience That toward which it points. Does it point beyond itself to that transcendental reality, or does it lend itself too easily to becoming no more than an idea in your head that you believe in, a mental idol?
The word Being explains nothing, but nor does God. Being, however, has the advantage that it is an open concept. It does not reduce the infinite invisible to a finite entity. It is impossible to form a mental image of it. Nobody can claim exclusive possession of Being. It is your very essence, and it is immediately accessible to you as the feeling of your own presence, the realization I am that is prior to I am this or I am that. So it is only a small step from the word Being to the experience of Being.
* * *
What is the greatest obstacle to experiencing this reality?
Identification with your mind, which causes thought to become compulsive. Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we don't realize this because almost everybody is suffering from it, so it is considered normal.
This incessant mental noise prevents you from finding that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from Being. It also creates a false mind-made self that casts a shadow of fear and suffering. We will look at all that in more detail later.
The philosopher Descartes believed that he had found the most fundamental truth when he made his famous statement: "I think, therefore I am." He had, in fact, given expression to the most basic error: to equate thinking with Being and identity with thinking. The compulsive thinker, which means almost everyone, lives in a state of apparent separateness, in an insanely complex world of continuous problems and conflict, a world that reflects the ever-increasing fragmentation of the mind. Enlightenment is a state of wholeness, of being "at one" and therefore at peace. At one with life in its manifested aspect, the world, as well as with your deepest self and life unmanifested at one with Being. Enlightenment is not only the end of suffering and of continuous conflict within and without, but also the end of the dreadful enslavement to incessant thinking. What an incredible liberation this is!
Identification with your mind creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments, and definitions that blocks all true relationship. It comes between you and yourself, between you and your fellow man and woman, between you and nature, between you and God. It is this screen of thought that creates the illusion of separateness, the illusion that there is you and a totally separate "other." You then forget the essential fact that, underneath the level of physical appearances and separate forms, you are one with all that is. By "forget," I mean that you can no longer feel this oneness as self-evident reality. You may believe it to be true, but you no longer know it to be true. A belief may be comforting. Only through your own experience, however, does it become liberating.
Thinking has become a disease. Disease happens when things get out of balance. For example, there is nothing wrong with cells dividing and multiplying in the body, but when this process continues in disregard of the total organism, cells proliferate and we have disease.
The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly you usually don't use it at all. It uses you. This is the disease. You believe that you are your mind. This is the delusion. The instrument has taken you over.
I don't quite agree. It is true that I do a lot of aimless thinking, like most people, but I can still choose to use my mind to get and accomplish things, and I do that all the time.
Just because you can solve a crossword puzzle or build an atom bomb doesn't mean that you use your mind. Just as dogs love to chew bones, the mind loves to get its teeth into problems. That's why it does crossword puzzles and builds atom bombs. You have no interest in either. Let me ask you this: can you be free of your mind whenever you want to? Have you found the "off" button?
You mean stop thinking altogether? No, I can't, except maybe for a moment or two.
Then the mind is using you. You are unconsciously identified with it, so you don't even know that you are its slave. It's almost as if you were possessed without knowing it, and so you take the possessing entity to be yourself. The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not the possessing entity the thinker. Knowing this enables you to observe the entity. The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all the things that truly matter beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken.
* * *
FREEING YOURSELF FROM YOUR MIND
What exactly do you mean by "watching the thinker"?
When someone goes to the doctor and says, "I hear a voice in my head," he or she will most likely be sent to a psychiatrist. The fact is that, in a very similar way, virtually everyone hears a voice, or several voices, in their head all the time: the involuntary thought processes that you don't realize you have the power to stop. Continuous monologues or dialogues.
You have probably come across "mad" people in the street incessantly talking or muttering to themselves. Well, that's not much different from what you and all other "normal" people do, except that you don't do it out loud. The voice comments, speculates, judges, compares, complains, likes, dislikes, and so on. The voice isn't necessarily relevant to the situation you find yourself in at the time; it may be reviving the recent or distant past or rehearsing or imagining possible future situations. Here it often imagines things going wrong and negative outcomes; this is called worry. Sometimes this soundtrack is accompanied by visual images or "mental movies." Even if the voice is relevant to the situation at hand, it will interpret it in terms of the past. This is because the voice belongs to your conditioned mind, which is the result of all your past history as well as of the collective cultural mind-set you inherited. So you see and judge the present through the eyes of the past and get a totally distorted view of it. It is not uncommon for the voice to be a person's own worst enemy. Many people live with a tormentor in their head that continuously attacks and punishes them and drains them of vital energy. It is the cause of untold misery and unhappiness, as well as of disease.
The good news is that you can free yourself from your mind. This is the only true liberation. You can take the first step right now. Start listening to the voice in your head as often as you can. Pay particular attention to any repetitive thought patterns, those old gramophone records that have been playing in your head perhaps for many years. This is what I mean by "watching the thinker," which is another way of saying: listen to the voice in your head, be there as the witnessing presence.
When you listen to that voice, listen to it impartially. That is to say, do not judge. Do not judge or condemn what you hear, for doing so would mean that the same voice has come in again through the back door. You'll soon realize: there is the voice, and here I am listening to it, watching it. This I am realization, this sense of your own presence, is not a thought. It arises from beyond the mind.
* * *
So when you listen to a thought, you are aware not only of the thought but also of yourself as the witness of the thought. A new dimension of consciousness has come in. As you listen to the thought, you feel a conscious presence your deeper self behind or underneath the thought, as it were. The thought then loses its power over you and quickly subsides, because you are no longer energizing the mind through identification with it. This is the beginning of the end of involuntary and compulsive thinking.
When a thought subsides, you experience a discontinuity in the mental stream a gap of "no-mind." At first, the gaps will be short, a few seconds perhaps, but gradually they will become longer. When these gaps occur, you feel a certain stillness and peace inside you. This is the beginning of your natural state of felt oneness with Being, which is usually obscured by the mind. With practice, the sense of stillness and peace will deepen. In fact, there is no end to its depth. You will also feel a subtle emanation of joy arising from deep within: the joy of Being.
It is not a trancelike state. Not at all. There is no loss of consciousness here. The opposite is the case. If the price of peace were a lowering of your consciousness, and the price of stillness a lack of vitality and alertness, then they would not be worth having. In this state of inner connectedness, you are much more alert, more awake than in the mind-identified state. You are fully present. It also raises the vibrational frequency of the energy field that gives life to the physical body.
As you go more deeply into this realm of no-mind, as it is sometimes called in the East, you realize the state of pure consciousness. In that state, you feel your own presence with such intensity and such joy that all thinking, all emotions, your physical body, as well as the whole external world become relatively insignificant in comparison to it. And yet this is not a selfish but a selfless state. It takes you beyond what you previously thought of as "your self." That presence is essentially you and at the same time inconceivably greater than you. What I am trying to convey here may sound paradoxical or even contradictory, but there is no other way that I can express it.
* * *
Instead of "watching the thinker," you can also create a gap in the mind stream simply by directing the focus of your attention into the Now. Just become intensely conscious of the present moment. This is a deeply satisfying thing to do. In this way, you draw consciousness away from mind activity and create a gap of no-mind in which you are highly alert and aware but not thinking. This is the essence of meditation.
In your everyday life, you can practice this by taking any routine activity that normally is only a means to an end and giving it your fullest attention, so that it becomes an end in itself. For example, every time you walk up and down the stairs in your house or place of work, pay close attention to every step, every movement, even your breathing. Be totally present. Or when you wash your hands, pay attention to all the sense perceptions associated with the activity: the sound and feel of the water, the movement of your hands, the scent of the soap, and so on. Or when you get into your car, after you close the door, pause for a few seconds and observe the flow of your breath. Become aware of a silent but powerful sense of presence. There is one certain criterion by which you can measure your success in this practice: the degree of peace that you feel within.
* * *
So the single most vital step on your journey toward enlightenment is this: learn to disidentify from your mind. Every time you create a gap in the stream of mind, the light of your consciousness grows stronger.
One day you may catch yourself smiling at the voice in your head, as you would smile at the antics of a child. This means that you no longer take the content of your mind all that seriously, as your sense of self does not depend on it.
ENLIGHTENMENT: RISING ABOVE THOUGHT
Isn't thinking essential in order to survive in this world?
Your mind is an instrument, a tool. It is there to be used for a specific task, and when the task is completed, you lay it down. As it is, I would say about 80 to 90 percent of most people's thinking is not only repetitive and useless, but because of its dysfunctional and often negative nature, much of it is also harmful. Observe your mind and you will find this to be true. It causes a serious leakage of vital energy.

Much more than simple principles and platitudes, The Power of Now takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, "the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death." Only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment."}],"additionalimages":[{"image":"https://prodimage.images-bn.com/pimages/9781577314806_p1_v3_s192x300.jpg"},{"image":"https://prodimage.images-bn.com/pimages/9781577314806_p0_v5_s192x300.jpg"}],"specifications":[{"label":"depth","value":"0.70"},{"label":"width","value":"5.50"},{"label":"publicationDate","value":"2004-09-21 00:00:00.0"},{"label":"edition","value":"First Trade Paper Edition"},{"label":"salesRank","value":"353"},{"label":"isbn13","value":"9781577314806"},{"label":"isbn10","value":"1577314808"},{"label":"height","value":"8.40"},{"label":"publisher","value":"New World Library"}],"isgiftcard":"false","additionalinfo":[{"label":"warningMessage","value":"Not Applicable"},{"label":"excludePromotionMessage","value":"Not Applicable"},{"label":"marketplaceBtnTxt","value":"134 New & Used from 1.99"},{"label":"siteName","value":"Barnes & Noble"},{"label":"preOrderableMsg","value":"Not Applicable"},{"label":"formatId","value":"121"},{"label":"usedListPrice","value":"0"},{"label":"usedSalePrice","value":"0"},{"label":"analyticsCode","value":"B1-026SA"},{"label":"neverForSaleMsg","value":"Not Applicable"},{"label":"skuType","value":"book"},{"label":"departmentCode","value":"1"},{"label":"usedPercentageSave","value":"0"},{"label":"secondaryFormat","value":"Paperback"},{"label":"storeAvailable","value":"false"},{"label":"Paperback","value":"First Trade Paper Edition"}],"itemid":"1100220492","features":[{"label":"shipRestrictionMsg","value":null},{"label":"soldBy","value":null},{"label":"sound","value":"[]"},{"label":"edition","value":"First Trade Paper Edition"},{"label":"language","value":"English"},{"label":"versionName","value":null},{"label":"seriesTitle","value":null},{"label":"presentation","value":"[]"},{"label":"catalogNumber","value":null},{"label":"regionCode","value":"Not applicable"},{"label":"enableContributorSeriesFeature","value":"true"},{"label":"numberOfPages","value":"235"},{"label":"shipRestrictionCode","value":"0"},{"label":"originalRelease","value":"0000"},{"label":"lexileDescription","value":null},{"label":"ageTo","value":null},{"label":"publicationDate","value":"2004-09-21 00:00:00.0"},{"label":"class","value":"com.bn.feed.dto.BNProductDetailsTab"},{"label":"height","value":"8.40"},{"label":"releaseDate","value":"09/21/2004"},{"label":"displayFormat","value":null},{"label":"parentFormat","value":"Paperback"},{"label":"publisherUrl","value":"/s/%22New World Library%22?Ntk=Publisher&Ns=P_Sales_Rank&Ntx=mode+matchall"},{"label":"seriesNumber","value":"0"},{"label":"lexile","value":null},{"label":"depth","value":"0.70"},{"label":"seriesUrl","value":null},{"label":"fileSize","value":null},{"label":"isbn13","value":"9781577314806"},{"label":"currentIssue","value":null},{"label":"width","value":"5.50"},{"label":"publisher","value":"New World Library"},{"label":"ageFrom","value":null},{"label":"isbn10","value":"1577314808"},{"label":"contentRating","value":null},{"label":"time","value":null}],"itemtype":"Paperback","publisher":"New World Library","sku":"9781577314806","shippingmessages":[{"name":"deliveryPromise","description":"Want it by Wednesday, September 26?"},{"name":"deliveryPromiseNote","description":"Order by 12:00 PM Eastern and choose Expedited Shipping at checkout."},{"name":"detailedText","description":"Want it by Wednesday, September 26?n, Order by 12:00 PM Eastern and choose Expedited Shipping at checkout."},{"name":"sameDayMessageLinkTest","description":"See Details"},{"name":"sameDayMessage","description":"Same Day shipping in Manhattan."},{"name":"externalLink","description":"//dispatch.barnesandnoble.com/content/ccr/h/modal/html/2015/7/get_it_same_day.use.html"},{"name":"freeShipEligibleMessage","description":"Eligible for FREE SHIPPING"},{"name":"freeShipEligibleMessageURL","description":"//dispatch.barnesandnoble.com/content/ccr/h/modal/html/2017/1/free-shipping.use.html"}]},"state":{"additionalproperties":[{"label":"sortedFormatPriorityOrder","value":"Hardcover"},{"label":"sortedFormatPriorityOrder","value":"Paperback"},{"label":"sortedFormatPriorityOrder","value":"NOOK Book"},{"label":"sortedFormatPriorityOrder","value":"Audiobook"}],"additionalinfo":[{"name":"Eckhart Tolle","link":"/s/"Eckhart Tolle"?Ntk=P_key_Contributor_List&Ns=P_Sales_Rank&Ntx=mode matchall","label":"Author"}]},"seodetails":{"description":"Much more than simple principles and platitudes, The Power of Now takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach...","canonical":"https://prodimage.images-bn.com/pimages/9781577314806_p1_v3_s1200x630.jpg","title":"Power-of-Now/Eckhart-Tolle"},"userinfo":[{"qualification":"University of London;
