He goes on to teach us how to free ourselves from the mind and introduces the concept that we are a source of our own pain. Again, a simple enough concept, but it's the groundbreaking revelation many people have found to help them break free from a bleak existence devoid of spirituality. Regardless of religious persuasion, The Power of Now is a great book for those who feel a need to return to their spirituality or those who have no background in spirituality and are curious. The book is masterfully written and expertly deconstructs the obstacles that often stand in the way of being a spiritually enlightened person. If you are intrigued by the idea of spirituality or want to return to a more enlightened state of being, pick up a copy of The Power of Now and discover how to move into the present.
