"With this book, Living in the Now, Gina Lake continues to establish herself as one of the major spiritual teachers of our time. The 99 short chapters are each a powerfully inviting doorway for learning how to recognize the peace and happiness of the now and how to live in it constantly. Although the convenient, bite-sized wisdom is especially well-suited for busy people who have only spare moments to absorb spiritual instruction, everyone can benefit equally. This is a must read." —Dennis Trunk

"I have always found that attempts to live the life described by the Enlightened Masters to be fairly challenging. While ultimate Realization may minimize the perception of individual consciousness levels in favor of abiding Oneness, the reality is that most of us experience a more finite and progressive awakening process, where the diminishing ego still plays a role in our lives. Gina Lake's books are enormously powerful in helping one to understand the ego and progressively lessen the gap so that we may better live increasingly enlightened lives. I joke with my friends that her book, Living In the Now, is like Eckhart Tolle on steroids. It is enormously powerful and will assuredly have a favorable impact on your life. It is a must read for all those who are more interested in `Being' rather than simple intellectual understanding." —Jeff Titterington

“This book is an excellent complement to Eckhart's bestseller The Power of Now. When I came across his book, I thought it was the alpha and omega of spirituality. Gina Lake just fills in the in-between. Her book presents in plain English the practical exercises that I needed to apply more efficiently in all circumstances of my life. This book deserves the same success as The Power of Now. Thank you a million times, Gina.” —Raymond Lamborelle

“If you're like me and your opportunities to read come in stolen moments here and there, then Gina Lake's new format in Living in the Now is perfect for you! It doles out its perennial wisdom in bite-sized, easy-to-digest and assimilate pieces. Contrary to a popular misunderstanding, if waking up is your heart's desire, there is a lot to choose and commit to. This book can take you there, right to Truth's door, if you follow its simple and practical advice. In addition, Living in the Now unlocks the secret of how to truly live Awakeness. Once and for all, get direct and clear answers on topics, such as choice, feelings, life purpose, boredom, grief, and relationships, that sometimes get sidestepped in non-dual circles. If waking up in this lifetime is what you truly want, don't wait or hesitate, get this book now. You won't be able to put it down!” —Laura Katleman

“Gina's book, Living in the Now, clearly delineates the experiences of living from the ego and living from essence, i.e., from living unconsciously to living an awakened life—down to the smallest details in all areas of life. In the egoic, conditioned reality there is ongoing contraction and suffering, whereas in Essence there is peace, joy, happiness, and calm. Gina thoroughly identifies the rubrics of each manner of existence so that finally the reader irrevocably groks what a no-brainer the choice for Essence really is! Every sentence is a pointer, an awakening.” —Victoria Ritchie, editor of The Power of Now and A New Earth

“Along with Eckhart Tolle, I consider Gina Lake to be a great inspiration to my life. I have read several of her books and they have helped me get over tough times. While many of us have so many things to worry about, like the economic crisis and where we are going, Gina teaches us that happiness and security are right within us. We just have to look at things differently. Living in the Now is her latest, and each chapter is two to three pages long. I like to read one right after I wake up in the morning. It takes about five minutes but it keeps me happy the rest of the day. I recommend that everyone else read it the same way, though you will be tempted to read more because each page is so inspirational.” —Chris Heath

“I've lived my life thus far by doing rather than being. I've listened to the lies my ego tells me and have waited for ego's illusions of life to come to pass. I've wasted precious years being disgusted and disappointed that my life wasn't everything ego told me it should be. Now, thanks to the author, I am finally enjoying the here and now. Each moment is a precious gift that I can CHOOSE to enjoy. The short essays in this book provide so much knowledge and insight. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to simply enjoy life as it is.” —Stahnlunts

"If you're going on a trip and want to pack a spiritual book, this is a really good one. I liked it because I could open it up anywhere and go from there. It has 99 short essays but it's not a "light weight" book. It will make you think, read, and ponder again. Gina Lake has written a number of good spiritual books. I like this one especially because I can feel her open hearted kindness through her guiding words... Really Fine!" —Lynn Van Gundy

“Astonishingly insightful and revealing. Eastern Mysticism is the root source of this insightful book… Thanks to this author, I am already experiencing a reduction in stress and the emotional roller-coaster ride that I had previously grown accustom to.” —William McLean

“Living in the Now by Gina Lake… is in a succinct bit-at-a-time format that makes it perfect to keep by the bedside or on a coffee table…These are capsules of wisdom to take as you would your vitamins. Yes, these are vitamins for your essence. Taken from Gina's blog, these wisdom bites are geared toward helping us live in the Now… Gina gives us little tidbits to help stay in the Now even when the world is dragging you into a place of NOT NOW, I WANT TO SCREAM and SLAP SOMEBODY! As always, I highly recommend anything written by Gina. This is no exception. Add it to your spiritual library and read and re-read this gem of a book.”—Kathy Vitcak

“This book is extremely well written and enjoyable. You wouldn't think that more than a few paragraphs would be needed to explain the benefits of being present and the consequences of not being present. However, every sentence in this book provides insight and clarity I wouldn't have thought possible to convey with words. Plus she made some valuable additions that Eckhart Tolle didn't cover in his book The Power of Now. If you are a spiritual seeker, this is one you don't want to miss.” –Jay B.Everett

“The clarity of Gina's writing is amazing. So simple. Letting go of the ego in plain English. Love it!!! The format is wonderful; it has taken up its rightful position on the bedside table, and I frequently carry it around with me.” —Leann Lawrence

Having read several of Gina's books, I have to admit to being a big fan of hers and therefore unabashedly biased! Living in the Now contains 99 2-3 page mini-chapters, each one filled with spiritual insights and truths that are truly transformative... Great stuff and another winner! —Michael Jeffreys, author of Success Secrets of the Motivational Superstars

“WOW. Gina Lake brings it again. This book is no-nonsense, practical pointers to what takes me out of the Now and how I can return to the Now. Not just a bunch of theory and concepts and pretty words, this book gives relatable examples to help me recognize how my conditioning, my mind, and my emotions take me out of life and leave me feeling alone and separate. This is a great book and great work… I have experienced the material in this book as transformational.”—Lisa Holliday Lee

“Gina Lake has written another tour de force in this guidebook to embracing the present moment. She provides invaluable insights as to how to escape the lure of the ego through its multifarious tricks, such as fear, anger, and desire, which take our mind away from what we are engaged in and what is sustaining us Now. These fears and fantasies about the future and anger over perceived slights from the past sap our happiness and creative energy and deprive us from fully engaging with the Now, which is where our power resides. Gina brings her life experience as a talented psychological counselor and spiritual guide to this wonderful and essential guidebook. The language and concepts are easy to comprehend and give us much wisdom. One cannot fail to gain a wealth of practical insight that, if applied diligently to one's life, will make one much happier and appreciative of the Present Moment and facilitate the ability to anchor oneself in its richness.” —Jeff Bronson

“Loved it! An excellent book that's definitely worth reading—many times! It has similar concepts to other books on this topic, but I, for one, need to hear it in many different ways to really get it. I'm still on that path, and this book has been helpful to me!”—Margie

“I love it! I've found the information to be so helpful in dealing with life's twists and turns. I wish everyone would read this book!”—L. Bee
