Eckhart Tolle: The Power of Now : A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment (2008, New World Library) 3 stars

A good introduction

4 stars

This book introduced me to meditation and empty space - whilst I haven't "obtained enlightenment" and I'm not sure I feel a desire to, it's a journey that's helped me a lot to free myself from my suffering, so I really appreciate the book

I would say though that I've found books like this more useful as encouragement to meditate - there's no substitute for creating space by just sitting still and doing nothing (to start with just focus on listening to your breathing). I think that the message of destination included in this book might be useful for tempting you in, but it's counterproductive to what it's really trying to tell you - to let go of destination and live instead in the present moment, in peace
