The Power of Now
by Eckhart Tolle
Three key ideas
- A thought is an event in awareness, not your whole identity.
- Use a sound, your feet on the floor, or your task to come back to the present.
- Planning helps you name the task and make arrangements. Repeated prediction can stop helping.
The five 2-minute lessons
- 1.Notice the thought, keep your choice
- 2.Come back to what's here
- 3.Plan it, then leave the reruns
- 4.Accept it, then act on it
- 5.Tolle's words are a framework
From the comic
