In The Now

Celebrating 25 Years as a New York Times Bestseller — Over 16 Million Copies Sold It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book 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.” Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.

This beautiful journal offers a wonderful way to reflect on some of the most insightful and life-changing passages from Tolle's brilliant book, and a place to write whatever thoughts one wishes to add.

Ulrike set out to answer to these timeless questions with tact and finesse, posing the focus on the right questions to ask. Why should you live in the now, to begin with?

“If you want to have more happiness, joy, and fulfillment in your life, read this book and dance in the streets.”—Michael Toms, author of A Time for Choices That chronic, nagging sense of discontent, that sneaky feeling that something is missing from life, that secret yearning for “something more” can all be healed.

Each chapter tackles a hurt that keeps us from experiencing inner peace and happiness and includes a brief essay and a contemporary teaching story followed by exercises to help readers incorporate the teaching into everyday life. Each chapter ends with “Ask the Masters,” a question-and-answer format with such historical and modern-day spiritual masters as Buddha, St. Augustine, G.I. Gurdjieff, Henry David Thoreau, Peter Matthiessen, and Jeanne Guyon. “It only seems as though there’s something more important for you to do than just quietly be yourself,” writes Guy Finley. Imagined heavens never last, but eternal principles empower readers to live in “the now.” From the first story of Katie, her broken heart, and the doctor who shows her how to heal it to the very last lesson of Paul who relocates himself from the city to the country and still can’t see “the forest for the trees,” readers see themselves in these eloquent retellings of ancient spiritual principles. “There is something profoundly healing in the way Guy Finley talks to us, as if he understands what we have gone through and what we are now capable of.”—Hugh Prather, author of Notes to Myself

LIVING IN THE NOW The Secret to Making Each Day Your Best Patricia Jean Smithyman-Zito My own personal journey has proven to be a growing awareness of abundance. This book compiles a lifetime of ponderings which offers readers the opportunity to grow in areas of moment-by-moment awareness and self-reflection, to better live in the "now," and to grow in wisdom and grace. Ah, to be wise and aware of the abundance in life’s every moment! How different would my life have been had I been more aware? How different can your life be? Did I hear all of this wisdom in my youth? Was I simply not wise enough to grasp that abundant awareness? Or did I grow in grace and wisdom, cooperating with the Infinite to the best of my ability, and in God’s merciful time? Music has always been a central part of my life. My father’s entire family played and sang, and there was always a song being sung in our home. The Sisters of the Incarnate Word, in Cleveland, Ohio, gave my love for music a depth and breadth and height I had never experienced before. Abundant talent, deep joy, and the desire to share God’s love with everyone overflowed into original songs. Abundance as a religious woman, a teacher, a musician, composer, poet, online entrepreneur, wife, mother, and grandmother overflows into this book of musings, ponderings, poems, prayer, and songs. May abundance always flow into your “NOW.” We are companions on the journey who inspire, energize, and alter life. Abundance is for everyone and living with an attitude of abundance is really an individual choice that overflows and impacts others. Living life to the full is always right. My prayer is that everyone discovers the reverence, wonder and blessings of “living in the NOW” in the first stage of their life! Patricia Jean Smithyman-Zito

Beloved guru Ram Dass tells the story of his spiritual awakening and gives you the tools to take control of your life in this “counterculture bible” (The New York Times) featuring powerful guidance on yoga, meditation, and finding your true self. When Be Here Now was first published in 1971, it filled a deep spiritual emptiness, launched the ongoing mindfulness revolution, and established Ram Dass as perhaps the preeminent seeker of the twentieth century. Just ten years earlier, he was known as Professor Richard Alpert. He held appointments in four departments at Harvard University. He published books, drove a Mercedes and regularly vacationed in the Caribbean. By most societal standards, he had achieved great success. . . . And yet he couldn’t escape the feeling that something was missing. Psilocybin and LSD changed that. During a period of experimentation, Alpert peeled away each layer of his identity, disassociating from himself as a professor, a social cosmopolite, and lastly, as a physical being. Fear turned into exaltation upon the realization that at his truest, he was just his inner-self: a luminous being that he could trust indefinitely and love infinitely. And thus, a spiritual journey commenced. Alpert headed to India where his guru renamed him Baba Ram Dass—“servant of God.” He was introduced to mindful breathing exercises, hatha yoga, and Eastern philosophy. If he found himself reminiscing or planning, he was reminded to “Be Here Now.” He started upon the path of enlightenment, and has been journeying along it ever since. Be Here Now is a vehicle for sharing the true message, and a guide to self-determination.

Why do so many of us postpone life until after death? What makes it so difficult to enjoy right now? This can be traced to a lack of presence. Rushing for tomorrow while forgetting today.

However, it is easier than we think. A moment of presence, and the past and future lose all claim upon our peace. We are free to live a happy, healthy life. The butterfly sheds its cocoon, and doesn't give a second thought to the caterpillar it left behind. So it is with us and our Divinity. In this book, you'll learn: How and why it's important to be fully present in each moment Valuable insight into life and death A deeper understanding into reality, and our power to influence it Insight into basic psychological processes that form our reality, and how we can use them to our benefit An understanding into human consciousness, and what lies just beneath the surface!
