Stillness Speaks

It is as described, but it is true it’s a very short read and was not meant to be read through. It is to read a page at a time, maybe two, and really feel the words and concept to what it’s trying to convey. It is meant to be meditative. If you like Eckhart’s teachings it’s more of a reminder of the same old message in different forms and words. It’s so easy to get lost in the daily to do’s and worries, and this book helps to bring u a little more to the present moment. It can only take 1 minute a day. Put it somewhere you can see and can open it and just read one page. Breath. There are no new concepts in this book, it is more of a decorative book, big font, a few sentences on each page. It feels thin in its words, and therefore seems as not good value for money, but it says EVERYTHING, and what value it has is up to you to decide. I’m impressed for someone to have the same message on each page but in a different form. You know what to expect, so just by looking at it you get a reminder of the message.

Good book

A very deep and reflective book with many spiritual messages

Eckhart Tolle is brilliant. I've read all of his books and this is my favorite (after The Power of Now). You can pick it up, put it down, open it to any page and read a little or a lot. Eckhart is always bringing you out of the quagmire of your incessant mind and into the peaceful present moment. Highly recommend this book. I keep it on my desk all the time. I bought this one for my mother.

The Power of Now is my all time favorite book. It has changed my life in ways no other book has. I first read it one and a half years ago and have read it diligently since then. I listen to the CD's in my car almost daily. Last year I had the priveledge of going on a 5 day retreat with Eckhart at the Omega Institute in New York. It was a powerful, life changing experience and I can say he is the real thing. He is an embodiment of what we're all looking for. So I looked forward to Stillness Speaks since I read about it months ago. It is a good book. However, like Practicing the Power of Now, Stillness Speaks supports and strengthens the ideas in The Power of Now, but doesn't continue on from them. In other words, there's nothing new in Stillness Speaks. Which is fine and as it should be. The Power of Now said it all. Stillness Speaks seems designed as a way to go deeper into the concepts of The Power of Now. It's the main signposts in The Power of Now communicated and packaged in a different way. Therefore, it's not the new, groundbreaking book The Power of Now is. The content of Stillness Speaks will be familiar to everyone who has read The Power of Now. For this reason I give it four stars instead of five. I know I'll be reading, contemplating and meditating on Stillness Speaks for years to come. Stillness Speaks is not a conventional book, but a series of 200 short entries that are meant to be read one by one and meditated on. I would say one would have to fully read The Power of Now in order to get full benefit from Stillness Speaks. As with Practicing The Power of Now, I would recommend Stillness Speaks to those who have read The Power of Now and want to go deeper into it.

STILLNESS SPEAKS: STILLNESS AMONG THE WORLD! I got this from AUDIBLE, which I just used one of my credits. It's by narrated by a soft spoken BUDDHIST MONK who I have one other by him, and since I just got it last night, I have not yet, had a chance to listen to it. Since I haven't tried it I am sure it's worthy of its Five stars, but since I thought about it, and haven't been even able to hear it on my computer, to listen to the sample, I plan on exchanging it for something else that I took the trouble to read reviews, there are a couple of other choices that I would rather listen to so as soon as I can either tonight or tomorrow I'm returning it. I bought three Non Fiction Kindle books that I saw get put on my orders, but they are mysteriously gone. I would much rather listen to those than this, and since I never returned anything before I'm exchanging this for either a credit since I didn't even download it on my phone yet. That's what's great about an Audible membership, which if for any reason I don't like it, and they didn't get any returns from me in over 15 years of my membership with them, I'm pretty sure they will credit me, and if not then I will get to it sometime when I have a chance to listen to it, which won't be anytime soon. Listening to Non Fiction Titles on my phone that connects to my Bluetooth speaker in my car while I'm doing errands makes the driving time go by too quickly. This was going to be something that I listen to on my phone, but I forgot I bought it by accident, or I would have returned it this morning. I am hoping that I don't have any issues when I exchange it, but I'm very sorry I can only recommend the author, who I hope is the narrator, in case I end up deciding to keep it, I honestly have to say that anything by this author is Five star worthy, and if I end up listening to it in a long time from now, I'll come back, and update this review. I usually buy the Kindle copy also, which I didn't but if you're interested it was only $8.99 last night. That's my honest experience with this AUDIBLE purchase. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but thank you so very much for reading my review. It was an accident that this was purchased, since I was looking at the Kindle copy, and must have hit the Audible credit, by mistake.

Though I no longer keep many books at home, I very much wanted to have a physical copy after finding myself referencing it so often. When one is ready to consider some of the profound concepts offered in this book, they are easy to recognize as treasures. Purchased new from Amazon, the book itself was delivered quickly and in excellent condition. A hard copy version that is also perfect for gift-giving. Highly recommended.

Eckhart Tolle is a recent serendipitous discovery of mine at a time of eclectic distress. I found his books a revelation of simplicity, modesty and yet immensely important for the spiritually minded. There is a sense that there is something profound and real just beneath the surface and Eckhart gently points at the fact that we are all perfectly whole and deserving human beings. I have now quickly read many of his book but don’t be complacent because the books appear deceptively simple. They are a gem in disguise and one cannot but hope and wonder such a vision expanding universally.

A self awareness and assessment book that will help us improve and change the way we look at life. Recommended

Todos os livros que lí do Eckhart Tolle complementaram a minha vida de maneira profunda, com esse não foi diferente. Indico a todos que buscam se conhecer e ir além no universo, sem preconceitos,coma alma aberta.

Love his books, explains everything in simple, easy to understand language!

Eckhart Tolle...simple the best there is!
