One year I read 90 books.

I’ve always loved to read.

And you can lose me in a bookstore for hours.

But if I had to pick just one book that I’d recommend to everyone –– it’d be Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now.

The book changed my life and I re-read it often.

Tolle is a spiritual teacher known for having awakened. One night in extreme anxiety and stress, he suddenly came to a realisation––he wasn’t the voice in his head. That realisation led him out of a deep depression and into complete peace: something he’s had ever since.

And if there’s something we’re all subconsciously seeking, it is this.

The Power of Now may just lead you one step closer.

These are five of the most critical lessons from Tolle’s book…

1. Don’t miss your life

We all have an inner voice––one that goes with us everywhere we do, chatting, judging, and time travelling.

Realising you have an inner voice, according to Tolle, is taking one step closer to awakening.
