Small, short, concise and powerful!

This book is my contant companion and has been a tremendous help to me.

For reasons I won't go into here, I've had a lifelong struggle with depression, fear, anxiety and an abysmal opinion of myself. As an adult I've been able to live above it and lead a productive life, but I still struggle with it at times.

Eckhart Tolle has always been a big help to me in this area with his constant emphasis on living in the NOW; the present moment. In this book he combines his teachings of living in the present along with the practice of inner stillness. While he does not disparage thinking and sees it as a valuable tool, he emphasises that we live too much in our thoughts. He encourages us to go into the inner stillness which we all have within and discover the wisdom we all have inside of us if we will bother to take time to still our minds.

This little gem goes with me everywhere. It is small, easy to carry, and will fit not only my briefcase sized bag but also my smaller purse. It is great to read from cover to cover and also to read in small portions -- it is set up that way.

This book is an investment in spiritual peace. It is one book purchase where you can't go wrong.

A wonderful spiritual book

This is a great follow up to the Power of Now. Eckhart takes universal spiritual truths that have been known to mystics for years and shares them with the general population. This book is written in the same form as Buddhist Sutras. The book is short and to the point.
Examples from the book:
Whatever you accept completely will take you to peace.

Sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand and becoming comfortable with not knowing.

Through "you" formless consciousness has become aware of itself through you.

Spiritual awakening is awakening from the dream of thought.

Eckhart uses Zen teachings and quotes Jesus and Buddha several times in his book. Of all the books I have read I believe Eckhart Tolle is the most enlightened. I detect no Ego in his writings and he seems to write from a higher level of consciousness than most of us live at. He teaches that the ego is not us, we are the witnessing awareness, we need to quit getting lost in our stream of thought and stay aware of the present moment. We also need to stop falling under the delusion of our conditioned mind (pain body)and see life as it really is. The main teaching is to quit resisting life and embrace what is. 5 star book read it until you get it.

Take on vacation to relax and reflect

1. This is a small book that easily stows into your carry-on bag. It is meant to be read in small sections at a time, which is compatible with traveling or relaxing around the pool, fireplace, etc. It is great for finding true relaxation and hopefully inner peace.

2. This book also makes a nice gift if you want to introduce someone to Tolle's writings. It does not contain some of the more controversial things (like women's pain bodies) that the "Power of Now" incuded.

3. If you've already read Toole's books and are ready to move on, I highly recommend "Insight Meditation, The Practice of Freedom" by Joseph Goldstein.

stillness reveals light

I love all of Mr. Tolle's books and tapes. However, the use of this book and tapes help some of the families I work with that have children with behavior problems. The material helps them to focus, calm down and respond to inapporiate behavior instead of reacting to it..

Stillness Speaks

The spiritual quest made understandable. Tolle is able to communicate new ways of thinking that are life changing, and are not so esoteric to make you say "huh?". I would read "The Power of Now" first.
