Book Description
Nirvana is immediate. Not hidden. Not distant. Not in the future but right in front of your face. Right now.
The Tao of Now helps readers experience the power of enlightenment moment by moment. In this book of daily meditations, Josh Baran shows readers that nirvana is staring them in the face?regardless of whether things get better, or whether true love happens, or whether the stock market goes back up, or whether they lose ten pounds. Nirvana happens when ordinary, everyday experience is freed from perpetual seeking or wishing for conditions to improve.
The Tao of Now contains some of the greatest ancient and modern teachings on the immediate experience of enlightenment from such notables as:
? Eckhart Tolle
? Rumi
? Stephen Batchelor
? Ram Dass
? the Buddha
? Jack Kornfield
? Byron Katie
? Pema Chödrön
Baran adds his own inspirational commentary on experiencing immediate nirvana to that of these teachers.
The Tao of Now is a wonderful companion for any tired seeker who wants only to know the power and peace of true, immediate enlightenment.

Josh Baran has created a wondrous book,
By MHS / Staarfinger.com (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 365 NIRVana Here and Now: Living Every Moment in Enlightenment (Hardcover)
Josh Baran has created a wondrous book. If you are on a spiritual search or have found the path to your personal enlightenment, this is a perfect read. It's not a book you read just once, it is something you will treasure; it's there when you are in the mood to pick yourself up or just want to hear what some of the world's most beloved sages have to say about life and living in the here and now. This collection includes a plethora of voices from all over the world and from all walks of life. Ranging from Rumi and Alanis (Morissette) to Krishnamurti and Thoreau. And I know you are "not supposed to" judge a book by it's cover, but I must say the physical design of this book is just amazingly beautiful, in it's texture and colorful simplicity. I highly recommend 365 Nirvana Here and Now, for these reasons and the joy it conveys, without ascribing to any one religion or system of belief.

The Tao of Now,
By Tami Brady "Whole Health" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Tao Of Now: DAILY WISDOM MYSTICS, SAGES, POETS AND SAINTS (Paperback)
The Tao of Now is filled with inspirational poetry, quotes, thoughts, and prose by a hundreds of different authors. The majority are well known spiritualist and historical figures.All have something to say about awareness, living in the moment, and resonating with your true personhood. A variety of belief systems are represented presenting a forum for spirituality and self understanding rather than adherence to any one religion. There are several ways to use this book. You can start each day with a little inspiration or pick a favorite when you need them the most. With so many entries to choose from, you'll find numerous new favorites that resonate with your personhood and inspire you in your daily life. On many of the pages, the author has included her own little notes or comments. I like this aspect. I think it gives the anthology a personal touch while encourages contemplation about the pieces and thought presented.

Everyday Enlightenment,
By A Customer
This review is from: 365 NIRVana Here and Now: Living Every Moment in Enlightenment (Hardcover)
This is a book to read everyday. I just open it at random and read a page or two. So many incredible, simple and clear reminders that IT is all right here - peace, truth, heaven on earth. No beliefs, no dogmas, no demands. Just pointers to be present to reality as it is - right here and now. I love reading these pieces after sitting quietly or just when i wake up. Also, this is a great gift book for almost anyone because of the wide and unique passages that Josh Baran has put together. As someone who has been meditating for a very long time and has read hundreds of spiritual books, I find that 365 Nirvana Here and Now is a refreshing simple stop sign. Also, there is a terrific afterword in the book - a long dialogue with the author that clarifies the essence of this collection. for Power of Now fans, for seekers of any kind, for meditators -- this book is for you.
