 Experience this book February 11, 2004

This is the most wonderful text for meditation, each paragraph is awakening and deeply THERE. Simply pick it up in a bookstore, read any paragraph, you'll want it. This is better than the Power of Now, seems impossible that the previous reviewer read it. I prefer this over the Vedas and the Sutras I've studied for a lifetime. Being speaks to the soul that can hear.
 A SHAME February 4, 2004

Stillness Speaks is just warmed over Power of Now, but without the insights.I am so tired of publishers trying to cash in on past hits with less than notable followups. This book is a fine example of a publisher trying to make a hit of a book based on the sale success of the author's first book that was published in 1999. It has been five years since the first book, so I have to ask the question: Hasn't the publisher learned anything during that time? Why put something out for the public to read that is not true and up to scratch? Why not be honest with readers and say that there is not another book to publish. Honesty and being truthful with readers goes along way!
 Interesting but vague February 1, 2004

When reading Stillness Speaks, I found that Tolle discusses abstract concepts such as 'the Now' and 'the One Life', but doesn't write much about how his ideas apply to regular peoples' everyday lives. While his writing style is exquisite and the book is pleasurable to read, the actual content is vague and unrealistic. I recently experienced the death of a loved one and got the impression that Tolle is a religious/spiritual scholar, but has never suffered hardship. His writing is very pretty, but the book is not especially meaningful or useful.
Refreshing delight! January 31, 2004
Although I expected this book to be like "The Power of Now", it takes a different approach. I do like "The Power of Now" better but Eckhart Tolle uses some very interesting "first & second person" ways to communicate some important messages to the reader in this book. It is refreshing in that way. I recently felt a little saturated with books regarding mindful living and the present moment and have began to search beyond that (though I may have lost the present moment by doing so). To my surprise, I found an excellent book called "The Ever-Transceinding Spirit" by Toru Sato. It is a tremendously enlightening book for those of us who are not completely in the present moment all of the time but are on our way to learning how to get to a stage of life where we are able to stay close to this state for extended periods of time. I would recommend it to everyone seeking further development in this area of life. Good luck in your quest!
A total waste of time and money January 28, 2004

The biggest regret that I have so far this year was buying this stupid book. I was expecting something like the Power of Now, but instead I got nothing like that. The book is poorly written and the publisher she seek professional help if he thinks anyone can take this book seriously. I was really disappointed. I will never buy another book from this publisher again.
