About the author
Eckhart Tolle
252听books10.4k听followersEckhart Tolle is a German-born spiritual teacher and internationally bestselling author whose work has profoundly influenced the contemporary spiritual landscape. Born Ulrich Leonard T枚lle in 1948 in L眉nen, Germany, he experienced a transformative spiritual awakening at the age of 29 after years of depression and anxiety. This profound shift in consciousness marked the beginning of his journey as a spiritual guide and thinker. Tolle abandoned his doctoral studies at the University of Cambridge to explore and embody the stillness and presence he had discovered, eventually becoming a spiritual teacher based in London and later in Vancouver, Canada.
Tolle rose to prominence with the publication of The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment in 1997. The book, which emphasizes mindfulness and present-moment awareness, resonated with a global audience and was later championed by Oprah Winfrey, catapulting it to international bestseller status. In 2005, Tolle released A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, which expanded on his earlier teachings and explored the role of ego in personal and societal dysfunction. The book also achieved massive commercial success, further solidifying Tolle鈥檚 reputation as one of the most influential spiritual authors of his time.
His teachings draw from a variety of traditions, including Zen Buddhism, Christian mysticism, Sufism, and Hindu philosophy, though he remains unaffiliated with any formal religion. Tolle emphasizes a non-dualistic approach to spirituality, focusing on the importance of presence, inner stillness, and the disidentification from ego-based thinking. His accessible language and calm demeanor have helped millions integrate spiritual practice into daily life.
In addition to writing, Tolle has delivered talks, retreats, and webinars to audiences around the world. In 2008, he partnered with Oprah Winfrey to produce a groundbreaking webinar series based on A New Earth, attracting millions of viewers. He also co-authored the illustrated book Guardians of Being in 2009, further exploring his core themes through the lens of animals and nature.
Tolle currently lives in Vancouver with his partner, spiritual teacher Kim Eng. Together, they continue to teach and support global audiences through online content, publications, and events. Widely regarded as one of the most spiritually influential figures of the 21st century, Tolle鈥檚 message of inner peace and awakening remains as timely as ever.

What a fabulous book! I really really really enjoyed the illustrations. They are so pure and beautiful. The illustrations engage both children and adults. I have to say that it is very refreshing to have a book that teachers our children to live in the "now". I think it's geared more for older kids just because the book is wordy and rather deep for a childrens book- but in a good way. This is a book that can grow w/you children. A great gift! It addresses bullies, fear, confusion and love. It's a warm, loving story.

I do understand the theory of living in the Now but this book does not put it across in a convincing way. For instance the ending could have been so much better than saying, 'It's a secret'.
Milton was initially happy at school but when he was bullied he feared for the future, particularly when the bully, Carter, left him with the words 'I'll get you next time.' This left Milton fearing for the future as he wondered what other difficult encounters he may have to face.
That evening his parents and his Grandpa noticed that the usually happy Milton was morose; this was because he was pondering on the incident and wondering 'Why did he pick on me?' At night in bed he dwelt on what had happened that day and what might happen next.
When his cat Snuggles got into a fight and then quickly settled down quite happily, Milton asked his Grandpa how that could be. He was told that cats easily let go of what happened yesterday and that they don't worry about tomorrow. And Grandpa explained the principle of living in the Now, which he described as paying attention to what's around and looking and listening. To emphasise his point he spread his arms and said, 'This is the Now'.
The explanation did not cut the mustard with Milton and he continually worried and in bed that night he worried and dreamt of evil things. A door marked 'Enter NOW' caught his attention and an ice-cream lady showed him what she called the inside of the Now and when she explained further she asked Milton to keep it a secret. So when Milton told his Grandpa the next day and the latter asked what the inside of the Now was, Milton replied, 'I can't tell you. It's a secret.' Weak or what?
After all that had gone before in the book, this seemed to me a weak and unsatisfactory ending and I would really like to see how children understood what was going on throughout the book and see if they understood the Now as told in this story. The book might suit some people, but unfortunately not me.
The illustrations just pull it out of the one star brigade.

Foarte scurt膬, dar frumos scris膬! Iar ilustra葲iile, absolut minunate!

Milton is an average kid. He enjoys eating ice cream and playing with Snuggles the cat. Then, something terrible happens at school, a bully threatens Milton. The boy becomes quite unhappy. Suddenly, all he can think about is that bully. Why did the bully choose Milton to pick on? What was going to happen the next time he met that bully?
A dream gives Milton the answer he really needs. It shows him that trying to change the past or predict the future is an exercise in futility. We only have to live in the here and now. It is in the moment that we will find true happiness.
Milton鈥檚 Secret is a very well presented story with an important message. It鈥檚 a message that we all need to be reminded about: living in the now. It鈥檚 also a good way to reinforce the skills that kids need in their daily life.

I like the book because it talks about how there's things that you're scared of and they can just be trying to cover you. You can look into the present moment and think about good thoughts. The story is about this kid named Milton that has been bullied in school and he thinks that somebody will hurt him again. But he realized don't worry about the future and don't worry about the past; you are in the present. I recommend this book if you are bullied or really scared of something that might come after you.

At my school we do this thing called mindfulness. Mindfulness is basically a form of meditation where you forget about the past, and stay in the present. In this book the present is called the now. I thought the story in this book was very well done, and teaches you a lesson about how you can conquer your fears by forgetting about them and paying more attention to the now. So some people, this may seem like a load of crap. But i do recommend that you read it.

It wasn't until half way through this book that my co-worker said "Oh I didn't know Eckhart Toelle, wrote children's book.
Then it all became clear. What I thought was just a weird long winded story is based on Tolle, "Now" philosophy. I was thinking this book was teaching me to be Zen.
The thought of you shouldn't worrying about the past or present, you can only worry about now is important.
Two memorable quotes from the book
"Feel the light inside your body, and you won't be scared anymore"
"Now I am in the Now," Thought Milton. "It feels Good to be in the now"
I liked this book but I didn't love it! I see the importance of now being and living in the now and this is a good start to help kids who worry too much!! Would I recommend it, only on a case by case basis.

Don't give attention to possibilities or circumstances that will occur in future. Just be in the NOW.moment.

Beautiful book for children and adults alike
If you want to arrive in the here and now, this little book is a useful tool. It is wonderful for children from the age of 3 up to a 100 as another reviewer put it!

I love the concept, but it's written in a way that talks down to kids. Perhaps it would help someone being bullied, but I thought the concept of the book was more than that. I didn't care for it at all. I love Eckhart Tolle and thought this book would be about the power of now, and it is for a bit, but poorly done. Not a winner with me, so I won't be buying any copies for friends.

I read this book with my son which he loved and put in practice straight away. But to be honest ... children are already in the NOW naturally ... so it is more for adults or teenagers to read this beautiful book!
December 9, 2017
I am a big believer in imagination and livimg in the NOW. But when it comes to bullying , there is no excuse. Grandpa should have made sure Milyon's parents were aware and the school informed. I didmt appreciate the outcome, no matter if Carter was an unhappy boy.
December 29, 2008
A decent story about bullying, but the solution is a little too religious or scientologist or something for my taste.

T盲m盲 oli ihana kirja Eckhart Tollen ajatuksesta siit盲, ett盲 tyytyv盲isyys ja rauha l枚ytyy hetkess盲 olemisesta.
Lyhyt kuvitettu kirja on tarkoitettu "7鈥�100-vuotiaille lapsille" oppaaksi tietoiseen l盲sn盲oloon ja sen positiiviseen vaikutukseen.
Kirja kertoo Miltonista, joka joutuu koulussa kiusatuksi ja alkaa sen vuoksi huolestuneena pel盲t盲 kouluun menoa ja kiusaajan kohtaamista uudelleen. Miltonilla on kissa, joka sekin sattuu tulemaan r枚kitetyksi, mutta jostain syyst盲 r枚kitetyksi tuleminen ei tee kissasta yht盲 pelokasta, vaan kissa osaa tapahtuneen j盲lkeen ottaa rennosti. Kirja kertoo, kuinka Milton p盲盲see pelostaan ja huolistaan eroon ja oppii nauttimaan hetkest盲.
Mielest盲ni kirja kertoo miellytt盲v盲ll盲 tavalla tietoisesta l盲sn盲olosta lapsille ja sopii hyvin luettavaksi yhdess盲 lapsen kanssa. Se voi auttaa aikuisiakin tutustumaan tietoiseen l盲sn盲oloon, mutta koen, ett盲 kirja on ehk盲 parasta luettavaa lapsen kanssa silloin, kun tietoinen l盲sn盲olo on aikuiselle jo ainakin jollain tasolla tuttu konsepti, sill盲 kirja saattaa saada aikaan lapsen kanssa hyv盲盲 keskustelua ja se keskustelu onnistuu varmasti paremmin, jos aihe on aikuiselle tuttu.
Minulle, tietoisesta l盲sn盲olosta kiinnostuneelle ja Eckhart Tollen ajatuksiin yhtyv盲lle, kirja oli mukavaa kepe盲盲 lueskeltavaa.

The light is in everything, always, it gives life to everything.
You can't see it in yourself, but you can always feel it.
Are you alive? Are you just saying yes, or can you actually feel that you're alive?
Can you feel the light inside you?
Grandpa showed you the outside of the Now, and this shows you the inside.
The inside of the Now.
When you feel the light inside your body, you are in the Now.
And you're not scared anymore. The light helps you feel strong.
And now you know what it's like, you can feel you can feel the light inside you whenever you want to.
Feel the light inside your body, and you won't be scared anymore.
Now you are in the Now. It feels good to be in the Now.
He's unhappy, so he wants to make others unhappy too. But I'm not going to be scared of him anymore. [I feel ] the light in my body. I'm not going to be scared of anything or anybody anymore.
I know the secret of staying in the Now.
You have to find the INSIDE of the NOW.
I know you can find it out for yourself ...

The last page made me so angry that I wanted to call Eckart Tolle. Why in the heavens is he fostering secrets?!? The young boy won鈥檛 tell his own grandfather, who showed him about being in the Now
about his realization of the light. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a secret. But I know you can find it out for yourself.鈥� What a little punk. Secrets are destroying humanity and the Earth. Tolle could have gotten his message across in a thousand different ways (not casting pearls before swine? Not wanting the boy to get teased for being crazy? What is he saying?!?)but he elevated keeping a secret. I can only hope anyone who reads this with a young child can shine on the positive aspects of this book and blast the idea of keeping a secret about Truth. I am now officially never reading or listening to Tolle again.

Really great book for kids to learn about the Now in a way that speaks to them. Easy to read and was engaging. I was able to get my son to practice "feeling Now" as we were reading the book
My son took to this book immediately and even asked to bring it to school so his teacher could read it to the class.

Describing what we forget
This story gives an insight into a simple truth: that so much of what we worry about is in our heads. Our thoughts take us all over there and then, while so often our here and now is actually peaceful and safe. We get so busy worrying we get to be unable to calm down, not even to sleep, let alone to face or fears and have insights into overcoming them.

The book left me wanting more.
I'm not sure if there is enough information for a child to really fully understand the meaning of NOW. I feel the story needs to give more details and examples of how to find and cultivate the NOW.

Simple yet profoundly true
Appreciated this little gem as a student of presence - kids I believe have to be taught from presence as they learn to be present - I would have not understood any of this unless taught from someone living in the same now

I enjoyed this because it's like the abbreviated version of "The Power of Now" - but from a writing perspective, this story makes very little sense. For little kids that's not too bad. But it could have been better.

A book about bullying, staying in the now and not worrying. Not quite sure what to say about the book other than I liked Milton and his willingness to learn how to handle his reaction(s) and thoughts about being bullied.
May 27, 2020
I understand the message of the book (live in the present, don't worry about what could happen, be happy with what is happening now), but the book is too wordy especially towards the end which would make it difficult for young children to follow the message.
September 28, 2023
Amazing children's book. I love reading this to my children when I'm not living in the moment and it really helps them realize that we need to live in the Now and forget about things that bother us or worries about things that may happen.

Thank you for helping teach my children this insight as early as possible!
Great book to teach this life-changing concept as early as possible! I can鈥檛 wait to read it with my 5 and 6 year old dealing with a lot of the books details
