ORIGINAL BOOK DESCRIPRION
“The Power of Now” should be your fundamental guide with specific methods that could put an end to your suffering. Thus, it is a journey into yourself because the book shows you the way of achieving inner peace which means living completely in the present and wandering away from your mind. This book is meant to teach a level of detachment causing a rupture from your ego, that part of your mind in charged with seeking control over your ability to think and behave. This detachment is very helpful when you need to accept the present, to reduce the inflicted pain from your life and also to improve the way you are forming relationships. In another words, living in the present of now for a fulfillment of your inner purpose.

ABOUT MONOLITH SUMMARIES
Books are mentors. Books can guide what we do and our lives. Many of us love books while reading them and maybe they will echo with us a few weeks after but 2 years later we can’t remember if we have read it or not. And that’s a shame. We remember that at that time, the book meant a lot to us. Why is it that 2 years later we have forgotten everything? That’s not good.
This summary is taken from the most important themes of the original book.
Most people don’t like books. People just want to know what the book says they have to do. If you trust the source you don’t need the arguments. So much of a book is arguing its points, but often you don’t need the argument if you trust the source you can just get the point.
This summary takes the effort to distill the blahs into themes for the people who are just not going to read the whole book. All this information is in the original book.

Le pouvoir du moment présent et la magie d’être connecté à soi-même
Selon le l’auteur on ne pourra vivre pleinement et paisiblement que quand on décide de rompre avec le mental qui nous domine et vivre en pleine conscience dans le présent..
A quoi sert de penser au futur avec le changement du mental qui va avec, à quoi sert d’avoir la tête ailleurs comme peur de rater quelque chose...
L’auteur répond aussi aux différentes questions qu’on peut se poser à propos de cette philosophie de vie, à savoir pour l’exemple comment vivre le présent quand le présent nous fait souffrir? Et sa réponse est d’accepter cette souffrance car la fuir ne peut que l’aggraver...(pour résumé)
Ce bouquin est aussi un fort appel au retour à la spiritualité, la spiritualité consciente qui te force à la présence de ton corps et de ton âme.. si juste nos prières étaient conscientes celà nous amènera sûrement à rester conscients au long de nos journées.. cela nous aidera à sentir chaque émotion des l’instant que ça se produit et pouvoir facilement l’accueillir, l’accepter ou même encore bien la gérer..
Le pouvoir du moment présent un livre de développement personnel et spirituel que je vous conseille vivement d’en procurer ...
