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.

 Get Into The Moment June 22, 2008
'Stillness Speaks' by Eckhart Tolle reminds you that in order to remain in touch with who you really are you must consciously remain in touch with
your inner stillness. In order to do this you are reminded to 'Get out of your head and into the moment.'
Wonderful spiritual insights and practical ways to embrace the teachings by bringing the practice of inner stillness into your everyday life.
This book reinforces and deepens the understanding found in his previous book 'The Power of Now.'
Great for effectively overcoming fear and ending suffering in order to experience peace & joy.
Most recommended and totally awesome!

Great Book! June 11, 2008
Good addition to Tolle's works. Even though I have read The Power of Now and A New Earth I absolutely enjoyed this book. If you need to refresh your self with his teachings or need a little Zen this book will do it. You can open it to any page and bring Peace and Stillness back into your life!
A Must read June 9, 2008
If you have ever read other books by Mr. Tolle or are just starting out - this is a wonderful little book. You can pick it up and open it any where and have a quick read - or start from beginning and work your way through. I leave it up to you to decide if the words in the book ring true for you - they certainly do for me.
Thought Provoking June 9, 2008
After reading "A New Earth", I wanted more and found what I was looking for in this small book. Short passages give just enough to consider without leading you further than you might be ready to go. I find something new each time I pick it up. It is certainly refreshing.
Clear, right to the Truth June 7, 2008
I found this book to be very insightful. It's written very clearly, and cuts right through challenging thoughts. It's 'paragraph' layout makes it easy to read, and fitting for the kind of book it is. I'd recommend it to anyone with an open mind seeking Truth.
