Priya Morioka — The One Book Everyone Should Read at Least Once
Growing up between cultures, I often found myself searching for clarity — clarity of identity, purpose, and presence. The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle gave me the gift of that clarity.
This book isn’t just about mindfulness. It’s about presence — being fully aware in each moment, letting go of past regrets and future anxieties. Tolle’s message spoke to me on a personal level as a leader, a mother, a daughter, and a woman navigating multiple worlds.
In the high-stakes world of business and multicultural communication, staying grounded can be a challenge. This book reminds me that our real power lies not in the chaos of multitasking or constant planning, but in being here, now. It shifted the way I approach leadership, relationships, and even the way I listen.
I recommend The Power of Now to anyone who feels pulled in a thousand directions — especially those trying to lead with clarity and empathy. It’s a book I revisit often, and every time, I discover something new.
