Expanding on his mantra—Get out of your head and into the moment—Eckhart Tolle offers this new book on living in the now. Here Tolle emphasizes the art of "inner stillness"--the place where thoughts, ego and attachments fall always and we are left only with what the moment has to offer: "When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world." Don't expect this to be a quick skim or even a straight-through read. Like his previous bestselling book The Power of Now, Tolle uses brief entries and numerous white spaces to give readers easy in-and-out access into enticing spiritual insights that expound on inner stillness, such as learning the difference between surrender and resignation, overcoming the fear death, and how to end suffering. In fact, this is designed to be an ongoing conversation. Pick it up any time or any place, but be sure to allow for plenty of breaks for serious contemplation. Even as you occasionally abandon the book, don't abandon the teachings, pleads Tolle. Embracing and practicing inner stillness is no longer a luxury, he writes, "but a necessity if humankind is not to destroy itself. At the present time the dysfunction of the old consciousness and the arising of the new are both accelerating. Paradoxically things are getting worse and bett! er at the same time, although 'the worse' is more apparent because it makes so much noise." Devotees who have read all of Tolle's books and audio tapes probably won't find new ideas or information here. But they may appreciate the refresher course --revisiting familiar concepts in a slightly different package. --Gail Hudson
Product Description
In Stillness Speaks, best-selling author Eckhart Tolle illuminates the fundamental elements of his teaching, addressing the needs of the modern seeker by drawing from all spiritual traditions. At the core of the book is what the author calls “the state of presence,” a living in the “now” that is both intensely inspirational and practical. When the pressures of future and past thinking disappear, fear and frustration also vanish, conquered by the moment. Stillness Speaks takes the form of 200 individual entries, organized into 10 topic clusters that range from "Beyond the Thinking Mind" to "Suffering and the End of Suffering." The entries are concise and complete in themselves, but, read together, take on a transformative power.

Stillness Speaks May 9, 2008
Very Inspiring, great bedside companion, or early morning read. "Stillness" is the companion of "The Power of Now" in small bites.
the very essence of Now... May 7, 2008
If you haven't read The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment, start there. But then? Pick up Stillness Speaks. Have it with you. Keep it near. It is the boiled down essence. The core of the teachings. Tiny little pieces of enormous wisdom.

If you have read The Power of Now or A New Earth, this book does not say anything new. What it does do, though, is help lull your mind into a wonderful state of silence as you read. It makes for a weak book (for the thinking mind), but an amazing reading experience.
Excellent! April 21, 2008
This was a gift for a friend who wrote back to me and told me how delighted she was with the choice I made....she recommends this CD set highly!

This books is excellent and inspiring. It's different from the Power of Now or A New Earth in that it's not so much a cohesive work with a reasoned argument but more of a collection of short insights and aphorisms. It's the kind of book you can just pick up and open at any page at any moment - and whatever you read, it's guaranteed to give you wisdom and a glimmer of enlightenment, since all of the words in it come from the spiritual ground of all reality. Eckhart is a conduit from that spiritual source and everything in this book is pervaded with it. Eckhart's work has led me to several other excellent books which are recommended on his website, such as De Mello's and most of all The Fall by Steve Taylor The Fall: The Evidence for a Golden Age, 6,000 years of Insanity and the Dawning of a New Era
