Stillness Speaks

Stillness amidst the World

By: Eckhart Tolle

Narrated by: Eckhart Tolle

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)

it really speaks if you listen

I love this book and live my life by it's concepts I fall asleep each and every night listening to it...by far my best purchase on audible.

Poop on a stick.

I’m not into old guys but I’d totally marry eckhart’s voice if that were a thing. At the very least, I’d hire him to narrate my entire life. Soothing German accent seems oxymoronic but I’ve been falling asleep to this man’s voice for almost five years now. There’s an almost certainly a personal weirdness at play here but that’s unimportant.
More importantly, this and his other books are life changing if you can really absorb the full message.

The stillness was deafening

Autobiography of a Yogi because both are very profound.
