The Power of Now

About this book
Teaches that identification with the thinking mind is the root of human suffering, and that liberation is found in present-moment awareness. One of the most influential spiritual books of the past thirty years.
Key themes
- The thinking mind as a source of suffering when not held lightly
- The present moment as the only place where life actually occurs
- The pain body: accumulated emotional pain that perpetuates itself
- Inner body awareness as a portal to presence
- Relationships as mirrors of our own level of consciousness
