Publisher's summary

In The Art of Presence, Eckhart guides you through seven hours of transformational insights that allow "presence to naturally arise" in you. With his one-of-a-kind instruction, you will learn how to ground yourself in the vibrancy of your "inner body" while simultaneously breaking free from the illusion of separation from the outside world.

Art of Presence

This is a book for repeated listening because it unfolds a process that is natural yet elusive. It is special as it is Eckhardt Tolle himself reading his work which makes it more of a dialogue and a conversation with a teacher with a deep understanding, empathy snd humor.

Overall a helpful book for being Present

I liked many examples and explanations from Eckhart here. I think this is a great tool for helping me become present. I'm not sure yet how much it will help to stay present, as I have not practiced much during/after reading his book. I'm just not ready to commit yet, I dont believe the book content is de-motivating me. there were some times when Eckharts laughing was a little too much, but that was only toward the end once or twice. I believe the information and his way of presenting is extremely valuable for any one who needs help letting go in general, and not putting so much pressure on themselves.

The Art of Presence

This is the most recent talk as of January 1st 2008 that Audible has and is well worth the listen. I feel that Eckhart has in a way repackaged previous thoughts of philosophers. prophets and wise men through the ages. He has come up with new words for old words that have a millennia of baggage in their present form. But one thing is he speaks from his own experience of the Present Moment not what he read or heard. The power of this realization comes through loud and clear.
If you want to learn why you think and act a certain way and why others do what they do you can find it here in this listen. You can also learn how to change YOURSELF NOW
A Great talk

A Week-end Retreat

I listened to this lecture over a week-end as a retreat. The unhurried nature of Tolle's voice, his silence and his humor all made for a relaxing and educational experience for me.

Life changing

As always Eckhardt's teachings are life changing. I am grateful for this retreat. I definitely want to recommend it to people who Wang to explore more themselves.

Aware of the now.

Aware of the now. That's how I would summarise this great book. He never fails to inspire me and often makes me laugh with his wry hillarious insights into the human condition.
