    "Recommended"

    I found this to be engaging, challenging and comforting. I find myself compelled to indicate that as the sessions progressed, I found myself anticipating and dreading the sole yacking, laughing attendee whose threshold for sharing his joy seemed quite a bit lower than everyone else in the room. In spite of my desire to "be in the now" - which I should have been , in response to this individual, I found it distracting and detracted from my ability to listen to it again

    "Funny, unusual, profound and life changing."

    I just loved the whole retreat. It was serious, but also really funny and in fact light-hearted. In the beginning I wasn't too sure what to make of Eckhart's unusual approach, but ended up laughing out loud quite a few times with people staring at me if I wasn't in the comfort of my own home. I just couldn't help myself! His dry sense of humor and funny remarks, which sound all too familiar, would have the room roaring with laughter in no time including myself.

    His teachings are reflective and such an eye-opener. You just realise that this knowledge is all you would ever need. I found it made a real difference to my life.

    "Really good and thought provoking"

    Eckhart Tolle has really good and thought provoking ideas, the main problem with this listen is the audiance is distracting.

    "Great except"

    Eckhart Tolle is wonderful however, during this live taped session there was a man that kept laughing very loudly at sometimes inappropriate times and this was somewhat distracting.

    "Over excited audience member"

    I have always been a great fan of Eckhart Tolle and enjoy listening to his talks in his retreats.
    However in this audiobook, from session three, there is a member of the audience whose over-enthusiastic laughter became more and more crazed as the session went on. It was funny at first but his incessant outbursts become quite irritating and annoying as the session progressed. I was rather distracted on my first listening and had to consciously block his outburst out on subsequent listenings. It was quite an effort.

    "MVRating"

    If you're familiar with Eckhart Tolle's other works, this one would be amusing but would not add much to what you already know. For somebody who's hearing him for the first time, this would be a tad confusing as he assumes he's talking to a familiar audience.

    "Very challenging to tune out the laughing guy"
    Would you try another book from Eckhart Tolle and/or Eckhart Tolle?

    Most definitely.


    Would you be willing to try another book from Eckhart Tolle? Why or why not?

    Definitely.


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Eckhart Tolle?

    No one. He's great. Very compelling.


    Was The Journey Into Yourself worth the listening time?

    I felt it was not worth the time, simply because of the distracting audience member. It was very difficult to get lost in the content. I just snapped back to hearing that laugh. it almost seemed like the person was actually there just to disrupt. He kept laughing really loud when nothing was funny at all.


    Any additional comments?

    I wanted to return this book but I was too late. If they had another recording of it, I'd be buying it for people as a gift.

    "valuable"

    This is a great listen for both beginners and experienced people of the "present". Great exercise for keeping the mind fit.

    "Powerful Stuff"

    After only a few minutes listening to Eckhart explain statements like "You are not your mind", it was clear to me that he is onto something powerful. I found his approach easy to understand and apply. As others have noted he has a unique voice which I found captivating and soothing. After completing "The Journey Into Yourself" I added three more Tolle titles to my Audible wish list.
