Stillness Speaks

Have reviewed this book before but feel compelled to say it again! This book is wisdom, not more knowledge, and is still exposing more depth as the eyes grow accustomed to the light. Old habit of underlining important parts of a good book is an old satisfying habit. After reading the first few paragraphs quickly realized it would be necessary to underline the whole book, so made no underlines. My only book with no underlines. It's a definite keeper and have purchased copies of it on tape and CD for frequent listening...so very satisfying, comforting and reassuring when the conditioned thought processes seem to erupt and attempt to reestablish the tierany of the "false king". Strongest pointers to inside Truth I have found. Wishing for you a similar experience.

Wow!! This book is amazing. My best advice it to read the introduction! (I'm one who's typically bad about just jumping in to a book and not reading the intro.) This is not a book that you read from cover-to-cover and put down again. Rather, it's a book that you'd pick up; read a passage; then think about what he's saying. It's not a book that gives you solutions. The solutions come to you as you read and think about what you've read. It has reached me on a very deep level and given me a sense of peace. I have been able to put down all of my facades and truly connect with and love my true self. I've also connected with my boyfriend on a deeper level. Life is so much more amazing when you live in the Now.

I really love this book. It's one of Eckhart Tolle's best, in my opinion. I especially like the Walker Larger Print format. I've been having eye problems, and this is so easy to read. Another advantage of the large print is that it's easier to find the parts I marked that I want to return to. It's so easy to use like a study guide, and to have room to write in the margins, etc. I have shared this book with several friends, so it's been like our own little book club. Whether you read the regular format of the book or the large print, it is a very satisfying book to read and to return to again and again.

The book is quite philosophical yet practical. I especially like the ending and the way the author ties in all the parts of the book at the end. A good read especially on the Kindle. You can finish a chapter in just a few minutes, ponder it, and go on the next day with the next chapter.

Excellent book. This is my third book from Tolle. I highly recommend reading one of the full books, such as The Power of Now, before this one. This is more of a summary of briefly stated thoughts from his longer works. I like to look at this one each morning and pick out one short section to read. The book is written in the form of short, brief missives which try to get across one point. I find this to provide a very good inspiration to start a day with. But if you haven't read his longer works, which are more explanatory in nature, it might be tough to understand this book.

Well, I'm a huge Eckhart Tolle fan. "The Power of Now" is one of my all time favorite books. "A New Earth" is also a great book. I think this book (Stillness Speaks) is my favorite read of all of them, though. By far the easiest book of his to read. "Power of Now" and "A New Earth" are so deep they took me a long time to get through as I needed to stop, take breaks, let things sink in. "Stillness Speaks" has many "aha" moments, as anything by Tolle most likely will, but the book itself is short, the chapters are short, and the writing within the chapters is no more than a paragraph or two within each section. Very easy, powerful read. Everyone should read this book, it's great.

If you're looking for a deeper understanding to spirituality, this small book might be what will help you. Having been steeped in religious tradition for over 60 years, I can give testimony that there is another dimension beyond rules, right and wrong and the obsolete, dry halls of most churches in America. Find your true sacredness, and true worth in discovering life can be experienced beyond what the insanity of your mind is telling you. You can find peace and stillness all around you, but you have to want it bad enough to look in areas you didn't know were there. Stillness Speaks can help you with your discovery in your journey. This book is not meant to be read in one or two or three reading sessions. It's meant to be read very slowly and mindfully. Read only a page or paragraph at a time. These spiritual Sutra's are meant to shock you into being aware of your true spiritual nature waiting to emerge.

Of course the book is fabulous. No doubt about that. You don't need me to tell you. However, I've received many books from amazon that were damaged in transit. This book was not one of them. The care that went into packing this book so it would arrive undamaged was amazing. Thank you!

An easy to read book with tons of teachings to improve our life in the short term, short and concrete.

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.

Eckhart Tolle...simple the best there is!

私はエックハルト・トールという人を知りませんでしたが、 たまたまレンタル店でウエイン・ダイアーとの対談DVDを見つけ、 試しに見てみたのがこの人を知るきっかけでした。 見ると驚くとともに感動と力が湧いてきて、 是非著書も読みたいと思い邦訳を店頭で見てみましたが、 最初に映像に触れたために邦訳は何か違和感があり、 原書に挑戦する事にしました。 内容はとても素晴らしいものです。 私は長年仏教に親しみ、 特に禅宗と上座仏教の本を読み続けてきました。 また坐禅会にも参加してきました。 しかしわからない事は多く、 「上智下愚を論ぜず、利人鈍者を簡ぶことなかれ」とは言いますが、 自分はこの程度なのだろうと半ば諦めかけていました。 しかしこの人の著書や映像を見て、 それは違う事がはっきりとわかりました。 仏教やキリスト教、あるいは哲学や心理学等の、 様々な事が私の中で初めて有機的につながりました。 皆さんが心配されるのは英語の難しさだと思いますが、 英語自体はそれほど難しくありません。 辞書と首っ引きという事もありません。 なので多くの方に是非原書で、 エックハルトの生の文章を読んで戴きたいと思います。

Amazing best book i have ever read, i read it every day, motivational, positive, educational. I also read this book before i play sport to help me stay in present
