Stillness Speaks

Editorial Review

A New York Times Bestseller

The essence of Eckhart Tolle's message is easy to grasp: If we connect to the stillness within, we move beyond our active minds and emotions and discover great depths of lasting peace, contentment, and serenity. Tolle gives us the essence of his teaching in short, simple pieces, drawing from the essence of all spiritual traditions and expressing these truths in startlingly fresh ways.

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

• Clarity that resonates!
  A wonderful little book full of simple truths written with a clarity that resonates profoundly even after the book is put down.
  A powerful tool for anyone trying to break free from years of habitual behaviour and a fresh breeze for anyone stifled by too much over-intellectualizing about the human condition.
  Not a book to guzzle in one sitting but rather to dip into and be refreshed a drop at at time.
  This book can bring simple joy and meaning back to everyday life.
  Thank you Eckhart.

• ET does it again
  I love having this book on the coffee table for a quick hit of stillness. It is especially helpful when my mind starts realing and I need to calm down. Anything that Ekhart Tolle has to say has such power to soothe and bring a person back down to earth!
