BOOK REVIEWS BY JOANNE HAYES

The Power of "NOW" by Eckhart Tolle

This is not a new book but seems to have had a resurgence of popularity recently, following its explosion onto the spiritual literature scene almost seven years ago. Tolle's book explores living in the 'present moment' - the NOW, in a thorough and intelligent way, taking the reader though a process from where 'we are' to where we 'could be' by employing a new way of approaching life and all its challenges... living in the NOW.
