To begin with, the book “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment” by Eckhart Tolle is a philosophical self-help guide published in 1997. 

I personally discovered this book through a friend’s recommendation. Taking one look at the title, I said that this one is not for me. I told my friend that I don’t think I will be able to keep an open mind while reading this. He told me to try it and that I won’t regret it. 

And so I did, and now I have learned so many life long lessons from this guide. I am better able to focus in the present moment and allow myself to be happier.
