To make the journey into The Power of Now, we will need to leave our analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle offers simple language and a question and answer format to guide us. Surrender to the present moment, where problems do not exist. It is here we find our joy, are able to embrace our true selves and discover that we are already complete and perfect. If we are able to be fully present and take each step in the Now we will be opening ourselves to the transforming experience of The Power of Now. It's a book to be revisited again and again. This worldwide phenomenon has captured the world's imagination with its ability to change readers' lives for the better.

3.5-4.0 出乎预料，是一本有些考据的书。 涉及一些心理学和神学知识，对道教也有涉猎，中心思想和王阳明的“吾性自足 不假外求”不谋而合 提出来上帝并不是具象化的，很多选择也不是有意识的，这两个观点很有意思。 但是这本书不是很实操，更多是说enlightenment之前是怎样，之后是怎样，这条路还是要自己走。

How to reconcile between inner peace and external goals? 最近一直在问自己这个问题, 觉得这本书给了很好的回答. 读这本书有一种很矛盾的体验.对psychological time的定义和对focus on now的解释非常清晰, 有操作性.对自己来说, 觉得可以通过这样的练习来达到内在和外在的一致性了. 认同的部分觉得说得非常好, 而剩下的... How to reconcile between inner peace and external goals? 最近一直在问自己这个问题, 觉得这本书给了很好的回答. 读这本书有一种很矛盾的体验.对psychological time的定义和对focus on now的解释非常清晰, 有操作性.对自己来说, 觉得可以通过这样的练习来达到内在和外在的一致性了. 认同的部分觉得说得非常好, 而剩下的都是觉得utter nonsense的内容. 特别是从基督教的角度理解的部分. 虽然这本书本来就是面向西方读者的, 有这样的内容也不奇怪. 此外还有一点很难认同的是, 西方追求心灵成长的理念, 受印度文化的影响很深, 似乎都只强调做好自身, 而忽视了应该承担的入世的个人责任.

不要成为思想的奴隶

我们总是沉溺于过往的欢乐与悲伤，希冀或担忧未知的将来，却忘记了去感受当下，无法停止胡思乱想，不知不觉成为自己思维的奴隶。 人们会不自觉地生活在对过去和将来的永焦虑中，痛苦源源不断，总觉得缺少了点什么，总是被恐惧、愤怒、不满驱使，短暂的满足之后又是一个焦虑的循... (展开)

人生如果只读一本书，就一定是这本。

今天读完最后几页《The Power of Now》。试着总结一下，这本我最爱的书讲了什么： 人往往认为自己就是那个大脑（mind）创造出来的自己（ego），大脑会强化ego，追求控制追求正确，制造敌对和割裂，防御和攻击；人往往无意识的（unconscious）被大脑驱使，给自己加戏，深受折磨... (展开)

初读记录

面对心灵导师一直以来比较谨慎，不是先入为主的偏见，主要是现在的网络环境和中文语境下做相关的表达和描述非常容易造成误解，一开始找到梁永安老师的繁体字译本，看了两章，开悟，心智，智性，超越思维等等，通过这些词汇很难进入他所要表达的内容，转而找了英文版，语言和内... (展开)

Watching is enough.

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露

#读书摘抄 -The pain-body wants to survive, just like every other entity in existence, and it can only survive if it gets you to unconsciously identify with it. It can then rise up, take you over, “become you”, and live through you. It needs to get its “f... (展开)

是什么造就了不快乐

前言中的一段话深深地震撼了我，作者深陷抑郁，有一天早上醒来，他脑海里有个声音说“我再也受不了自己了”，然后他突然意识到，我是谁，自己又是谁，为什么他们会以互相诋毁的方式存在 什么是 Enlightment? 什么是 Being，什么是 Mind 什么是 Concise，什么是 Unconscious 无... (展开)
