Eckhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this
message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice and enthusiasm make this an
excellent manual for anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means. Foremost, Tolle is a world-class
teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language.More importantly, within a chapter of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different
container--more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and
happiness

Deeply into the Now", "Mind Strategies for Avoiding the Now", "The State of Presence","Portals into
the Unmanifested"
Various chapters emphasize a philosophy of destroying the destructive dominance of the mind and ego in an effort to
overcome the pain body.According to the author, his philosophy is directed towards people and their search for
personal happiness and also has the potential to give insight into historical disasters like the justification of an
evil political system such as Capitalism.
