 Stillness June 2, 2008
Stillness spaeks only when one is concentrating on it. It is an interesting book, helps to relax. Short reading. Put somewhere where you can pick up once a awhile and read a couple of pages.
 Beautiful Quietude and the Truth June 1, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
From the author of "The Power of Now," Eckhart Tolle offers us a gem of quietude that in and of itself can allow a radiant shift in consciousness. Once again, he encourages to get out of our minds and into the heart to realize harmony and peace. This is a shift out of time into timelessness and in this book, we do so in a manner that is similar to the ancient sutras of India. Instead of reading this book from cover to cover, enjoy a short section each day. You soon will begin discovering that Stillness Speaks.

Little helps for staying present May 31, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
For someone whose mind rattles on and on most of the time, moving to the present moment and staying there is not as easy as Tolle suggests. My conflict seems to be that it's the mind that reads these little statements. Somehow those little snippets need to get transferred to my consciousness. So I use these short paragraphs as a "settling down" exercise before sitting quietly. Tolle's books have transformed my life for the better. I am learning to stay present and to enjoy every moment.

Tolle's small, concise book, is perfect for the individual who doesn't want to read "The Power of Now"!
This little book contains the essence, distilled down to a few sentences, or short paragraphs, that tell you all you need, to get you on your way towards spiritual awareness.
I leave it next to my bed stand, as a convenient reminder, to actually live what Tolle is sharing, from his own experiences.
Extraordinary - Practical - Profound May 14, 2008

Extraordinary work.
Also recommend Power of Now.
Tolle has the extraordinary gift to describe the infinite in words.
I read Power of Now first and it offers simple yet profound methods - "portals" into enlightenment.
So Stillness is a simplified, powerful statement of the wisdom of Power of Now.
It relates to our essential Being. So obvious it is overlooked by almost everyone.
I recommend Power of Now first. "Beyond the outward form of beauty there is an inner depth, a holy essence" and Stillness Speaks as a reminder and follow up.
The audio CDs are also useful as reminders and reinforcement to recognizing the truth, and pathway to durable inner peace.
Tolle's method essentially involves bringing to light the fog of thought, and thereby releasing one to know. Stillness Speaks - first sutra, second chapter "Beyond the Thinking Mind, The human condition: lost in thought.; Most people spend their entire life imprisoned within the confines of their own thoughts. They never go beyond a narrow, mind-made, personalized sense of self that is conditioned by the past."
These books can liberate one from this tyranny, opening up the majesty, peace and joy of life, even in the present day with all the cares of the world.
