The book in 2 tweets: The secret to being happy is to focus on the present moment and live it fully. But often we allow the past and future to poison our present. This behavior doesn't make sense because the past and future don't really exist:
the only thing that exists is the "now" and only by choosing to focus on the now we can harness its power, be happy, and reach spiritual enlightenment.
5 Ideas coming from this great book:
Idea 1: Our minds can become our worst competitors.
Unlike other tools that we put away once used, the mind has the peculiarity of invading our present, becoming a sort of screen that shapes and deforms the reality we are experiencing.

Idea 4: You must calmly accept what you cannot change and concentrate on which you can really influence.
Accept it as if you chose it.

Idea5: To achieve your spiritual enlightenment learn to separate yourself from thought.
Tolle explains that the way to do this is to separate ourselves from our constantly thinking mind and observe it as something separate from ourselves.
