piabo 's review for:
The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
by Eckhart Tolle
I am glad I read it. The general idea of living in the now is very powerful. I agree to the fact that everything that happens, happens in the now. I also think being present is better than living in the past and future. And I really likes some parts of advice about how to realize being present and what kind of benefits it can lead to.
However, when it comes to the words that are used to "explain" different concepts, I am out: What tf should a "painbody" be? Or what does it mean if there are "different frequencies" of being? Or the existence of "polar opposite female and male energy"? Sorry, but no!
When you don't write a science book, please stick to words that don't sound as if you do. The confidence that the author puts into his concepts is scary to me. You might be a spiritual leader, but please don't act as if you can explain how the human body and psychology work.
Your advice is appreciated. Maybe stick to personal or second hand experiences instead?
Throughout the book, I had problems with the tone. It might not have been the right moment for me to read it. I might one day re-read it and get way more out of it.
For now, I will give my best to live every moment presently and keep meditating regularly.
If anyone has recommendations of books that are about similar concepts but written in a more down-to-earth style, please let me know. I would like to give this topic another chance.
