This books is excellent and inspiring. It's different from the Power of Now or A New Earth in that it's not so much a cohesive work with a reasoned argument but more of a collection of short insights and aphorisms. It's the kind of book you can just pick up and open at any page at any moment - and whatever you read, it's guaranteed to give you wisdom and a glimmer of enlightenment, since all of the words in it come from the spiritual ground of all reality. Eckhart is a conduit from that spiritual source and everything in this book is pervaded with it. Eckhart's work has led me to several other excellent books which are recommended on his website, such as De Mello's and most of all The Fall by Steve Taylor The Fall: The Evidence for a Golden Age, 6,000 years of Insanity and the Dawning of a New Era

I am n ot that much into self-help and inspirational type books, but this one touches a chord. In the introduction, Tolle says if you read it looking for food for thought you will be disappointed, possibly because he is trying to get us out of our heads, away from thinking and into knowing. But I am finding much to think about here; I read a couple of passages and close the book and let what I just read soak in.
I got into Tolle because of a recommendation from a therapist that I'd approached for help in dealing with my chronic tinnitus, which I've had for years and perceive as getting louder. I know it is not going away, but I wanted help to learn how not to react to it, not let it annoy me so much. Dr. Tolle has already helped me to understand that acceptance of things that can't change is so much more liberating than resistance, and I have already begun to think of the sounds in my head as an opportunity to be more aware of the present.

Eckhart Tolle is the most profound thinker of our time. I recomend this book to my CEO's and everyone I know. Read this book over and over until you get it.

Stillness Speaks--Quieting my noisy mind. February 9, 2008

When I saw this book for the first time, I was drawn to it and purchased it immediately. I got home and read it from cover to cover. From that moment on it has been my constant companion as the book, inspiration cards and audio book versions. Stillness Speaks has brought stillness to my noisy mind. It has taught me the that I am not my noisy mind, I am consciousness. It is a small book that is easy to read again and again that has become and will always be an important part of my life.
