The Power of Now and A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle
These two books by the same author share a common thread: the ideal connection between the self and the ego. They begin with the fundamental assumption that you are not your mind.
If you've ever asked yourself how to disconnect your mind and stop hearing that destructive monologue that has built up over the life experience of every human being.
Under this, one also ends up limiting and judging, living with thoughts of the past or future aspirations; but, anything but the present, the here and now, consequently these two books are appropriate.
The first of these achieves awakening, the second contributes to walking with that awakening and the continued presence of the ego to control our thoughts, body and spirit.
Eckhart Tolle author of these books is a German who has become one of the most recognized religious leaders. He is not part of any belief or cult, he is only interested in teaching not to suffer.
It also shares the ability to control or cope, to live with pain, to enjoy the present, and to learn from ego and attachment. As an essential aspect, it doesn't involve any belief or religion, if what prevents you from working on your spirituality is the foundation of a religion.
If these books could be summed up in an image, it would be a beautiful, bright red rose illuminated in a dark room.
These books are recommended if you haven't yet found your place or feel out of place, if you're going through a difficult time, or if you simply want to leave all pain and disappointment behind. If you'd like to learn more about the author, we suggest visiting the article on The Power of Now.
