THE POWER OF NOW BY ECKHART TOLLE | ANIMATED BOOK REVIEW

THE POWER OF NOW BY ECKHART TOLLE | ANIMATED BOOK REVIEW

------------ -------------------- -----------------
The Power of Now is mainly about spirituality. Nonetheless, it contains a handful of practical insights. Some of wich revolve around our prevalent daily struggles: Depression, anxiety, fear, worry etc.

My speech turns slightly repetitive explaining the first concept, I did this on purpose because the majority don't practice meditation so I wanted to elaborate the idea in simple words. Meditation practitioners will grasp the first insight easily because I'm sure they already know what I'm talking about (staying present).

Further explanation for concept one:
1- Cultivate carelessness towards the future e.g: You don't worry about brushing your teeth the night before, you initiate the task when the appropriate time for it comes.
2- Nothing happens outside the present: Past & future occurences happen in the moment. You can wait for a future happening to occur before your eyes or waste time fantasizying.
3- If, however, you indulge in worrying, no matter how vainly you try to change future occurences, it will never mirror your anticipation.
This one's supposed to be a "spiritual concept"(Meditation practitioners grasp it easier than others who don't meditate) But I tried to detail it in a practical fashion anyhow.

Second Concept:
1- Aim for success, forget about success: The gold lies in mastery. Enjoy the growth you gain from the process.

Thanks for watching, see you soon.

If I discovered this book/video a few years back I could have saved days or weeks of time wasting worry about future events and trying to plan out how it will happen, only to discover they never go to plan if they ever happen at all.

[anilkumarr]

This video deserves more than a million views

[fierypickles]

how do you let go of reliving your past? the future im mostly detached from, but the past slinks through my consciousness more readily than a future

[PracticalPsychologyTips]

Not a big fan of the background music, but I loved the review! Keep it up :D

[samirael]

You are really an artist. You are presenting the spiritual message which are mostly abstract in an attractive way. Great work! For sure I did subscribe and I will follow your work

[uchihadonaru]

your videos are great and highly motivational, man.

[robertrainey]

I like your animations and have learned a lot. Some I have watched several times. Look forward to your next. Thanks

[patrickbyrne]

What an excellent summary, thank you for providing this wisdom!

[MarshmallowHumor]

Wow, the future isn't real because it's always just now... #mindblown

[Dat_Dude_Danny]

This was excellent video!! You should be very proud of your work!

[_Louch_]

great dude i needed pep talk like that.

[CaptainLongstocking]

hi man! I really like what you are doing and the vibes you are proliferating.

I just have some quick feedback on the animation of the goal reaching part - don't put the Swan in between the Archer and the dart board, it gives the impression of striving to slay something beautiful. other than that, great video.

have a good one man - your vibe attracts your tribe!

[rdalldmaster]

Good shit man. Keep up the good content.

I knew about this book since past 2 years but it never could arouse my interest primarily because I considered it to be some heavyweight spiritual treatise that would be just mumbo jumbo to me. It was only after failing at a project for the 4th time in a row, that I sought some loneliness and settled down to contemplate over the reasons behind my failure. Shuffling and browsing through the sea of thoughts, I came across this one thought; my habit (actually, it was only in that moment that I realised I had inadvertently nurtured this harmful habit over the past many years) of worrying about the future, imagining various problems and issues, and fantasizing the solutions for the same, prophesying perfect outcomes for my efforts (efforts which were never 100%, I admit, because the present was supposed to be the time reserved only for efforts, not for imagining the outcomes), it was THIS that never let me give my all to the present. I had been, in a way, living in the future. As soon as this realisation dawned upon me, the very next thing that came to my mind was if I was mentally sick. Did I needed to see a mental health specialist? Is this some psychiatric disease? Somehow, I was led to this forgotten book, The Power Of Now. Perhaps, it had something to do with the recurring themes of 'Now' and 'Present', ' that seemed to have laid siege on my mind.
It has only been a week since this happened and I have already watched about half a dozen videos on this book, read more than a dozen summaries, but it was only after watching this particular video that I could say that my thoughts overlap with the ones in this book, to some extent, atleast.
This, more than anything else, reassures me that I'm not the only person in this world who has had such thoughts, such ideas, and suffered through such a phase.
Only time will tell if this would be a life altering event, in terms of my perception of my present, but it seems like I have stumbled upon something powerful.
Quite how powerful, I don't know. Not yet.

Thanks.
You're doing good work.

Perfect video and simple explanation. Thank you :-)

Thanks for the video :). You did a nice job showing how useless it is to be trapped thinking about past or future. For me the principle of acceptance/surrender from the book is missing. So how to get rid of this repetitive thought in our minds? Telling someone not to worry or not to be afraid when he IS worrying/afraid is an insult, isn't it? Allowing your thoughts/emotions to be like the are RIGHT NOW is the starting point to transcend them. I guess there is enough content for the principle of acceptance/surrender to make a separate video ? ;)
