Stillness Speaks

Stillness Speaks

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.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars I love this book!
I participated in Oprah's A New Earth last year and found Tolle's insights into Jesus profound. When I saw that he had a book between it and The Power of Now I ordered and it did not disappoint. I am being still with it and savoring the words and taking them into stillness. Eckerd speaks to those with many different religious beliefs and provides a wonderful and reverent spirituality.

5 Stars gentle meditation
Stillness Speaks is a wonderful aid to gentle meditation. The book is small but packs a lot of excellent information and assistance.

5 Stars The Silence That Is Forever Speaking
From the author of "The Power of Now," Eckhart Tolle offers us a gem of quietude that in and of itself can allow a radiant shift in consciousness. Once again, he encourages to get out of our minds and into the heart to realize harmony and peace. This is a shift out of time into timelessness and in this book, we do so in a manner that is similar to the ancient sutras of India. Instead of reading this book from cover to cover, enjoy a short selection each day. You soon will begin discovering that Stillness Speaks.

5 Stars Possibly the best spiritual book ever written.
This simple book explains how to change your life better than any book that I have read in the past 10 years allowing me to laugh at and 'end' my own spiritual quest (readers of the book will understand). Taken a snippet at a time, this book provokes thought and allows thought to understand spirituality which cannont be explained by thought.

Tolle, in this book in particular, has reached a level of communication that brings together concepts from many authors whom I have been reading- the Dalai Lama, Ken Wilber, Castaneda, Mandino, Kabat-Zinn, etc.

4 Stars Stillness Speaks
Eckhart Tolle's books are all helpful in our search for peace within. This book was very easy to read and something to go back again and again to read. My fiance borrowed it to read also. It was certainly very helpful for me to learn to live in the "now". Thanks to Eckhart Tolle for all of his enlightening books.
