But Eckhart Tolle is almost always saying things that are meant to be practical. I believe some people misunderstand this book’s message because they see it as abstract philosophy. Looking back, I now understand this book was essentially my introduction to mindfulness and meditation techniques- Which science has proven to give many benefits for mental and physical health. I was able to move past a lot of the strong anxiety that I felt because I had created space between myself and my neurotic negative thinking. And guess what? They really did make my immediate experience of life very different. I tried some of Eckhart Tolle’s exercises for thinking less and living in the present moment. When I was 16 years old, I was a very anxious, neurotic teenager. However, I still think it’s a brilliant book, even if there are a few questionable paragraphs. For example, what does he really mean by “dimensions of consciousness”? And is it really possible for mental practices to make the “molecular structure” of your body less dense, as he claims? While reading The Power of Now, sometimes it is hard not to be distracted by the very “new agey” language that Eckhart Tolle uses. I can see where the criticism of this book comes from. Many others say it is a book of nonsense ramblings. Many people say The Power of Now changed their life and helped them have more inner peace. ![]()
