A worthwhile read, if you are interested in spiritual enlightenment, is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. The quest for inner peace is a continuous journey and Tolle takes us through this journey in a way that is understood by using simple language. The universal message Tolle conveys through his written words is that only being fully present NOW can we truly understand the power of being. While reading this book I found myself agreeing with the writer and understanding why and how occurrences in my own life manifest themselves. If you are seeking a greater meaning to your life, as well as a reality check, this is the book for you.
