Stillness Speaks

Stillness amidst the World

By: Eckhart Tolle

Narrated by: Eckhart Tolle

Length: 2 hrs and 33 mins

Publisher's summary

This long-awaited second book by renowned spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle goes deeper into the teachings so eloquently and clearly expressed in his first book, The Power of Now.

These short, clear entries are organized into ten topic clusters ranging from "Stillness and Silence" and "Beyond the Thinking Mind" to "Relationships" and "Suffering and the End of Suffering." Whether listened to individually or in topic clusters, these entries take on a rare transformative power.

While its message is broad and profound, Stillness Speaks is also highly practical. Eckhart Tolle shows us how to be with another in a relationship that can contain and weather all things, how to sit with a dying person, where to find wisdom, how to free ourselves of guilt, and how to control our constant stream of thoughts. Underneath the words, and in the spaces between them, we find the power of stillness, a vibrantly alive state existing only in the present moment. Stillness Speaks draws upon the essence of all spiritual traditions, offering a message that is both ancient and contemporary, filled with timely and powerful wisdom.

Critic reviews

"Enticing spiritual insights that expound on inner stillness" (Amazon.com)

changed me forever

Best book I have ever listened to. I am so different after reading it than I was before. that I don't even recognize myself. I found where power lives. A beautiful diamond of a book.

A New Way to Live

I enjoyed the way he presented each principle as a sutra. His idea of surrender, while not new, is a reminder of the insanity of resisting what is happening in our lives.

Love it!

While it's very similar to the power of now...it also has new insights that are essential for reaching a higher spiritual level. Nice work.

Favorite Book on Meditation

I have listen to this book multiple times and each time I learn something new. Tolle, in my opinion, is the most clear teaching Buddha of our time.

Profound<br />

i will listen to this audio many times...my third time. i highly recommend it.

Absolutely Transformational

Having been a student of Eckhart’s since The Power of Now I truly appreciate the style of this book as a way teaching. This is a guided meditation into being in the present moment, that works. I enjoy spending time with The Divine, who I call Joy the Wise Woman, on my weekends and rest day. This weekend Joy the Wise Woman and me became more intimately connected listening to this book. We were having such a good time, we listened 3 times.

inspiring.

I really liked this book. I feel like if awakes a consciousness in me that was waiting to be recognized.

Excellent!

If you’re not looking then maybe it won’t make much sense. If you are, prepare to have your paradigm shifted. Permanently.
I feel so lucky or fortunate to be alive when Mr. Tolle is alive. This is a audiobook that you can listen to over and over and over and learn something new each time you listen.

New age stuff here.

The guru has lessons for people to learn. Like it is a self help book, with new age religon, meditation as well.

Deep wisdom served with slowness and simplicity

Eckhard provides space and much wisdom held within that sacred space. His message is simple but could take a lifetime to fully assimilate. Great read I highly recommend it.
