Item Description
Expanding on his mantraGet out of your head and into the momentEckhart Tolle offers this new book on living in the now. Here Tolle emphasizes the art of "inner stillness"--the place where thoughts, ego and attachments fall always and we are left only with what the moment has to offer: "When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world." Don't expect this to be a quick skim or even a straight-through read. Like his previous bestselling book The Power of Now, Tolle uses brief entries and numerous white spaces to give readers easy in-and-out access into enticing spiritual insights that expound on inner stillness, such as learning the difference between surrender and resignation, overcoming the fear death, and how to end suffering. In fact, this is designed to be an ongoing conversation. Pick it up any time or any place, but be sure to allow for plenty of breaks for serious contemplation. Even as you occasionally abandon the book, don't abandon the teachings, pleads Tolle. Embracing and practicing inner stillness is no longer a luxury, he writes, "but a necessity if humankind is not to destroy itself. At the present time the dysfunction of the old consciousness and the arising of the new are both accelerating. Paradoxically things are getting worse and bett! er at the same time, although 'the worse' is more apparent because it makes so much noise." Devotees who have read all of Tolle's books and audio tapes probably won't find new ideas or information here. But they may appreciate the refresher course --revisiting familiar concepts in a slightly different package. --Gail Hudson

Amazing route to mindfulness
2010-07-08
Reviewer: Ghassan Qutob
After reading The Power of Now & New Earth, one would only be ready to read this small but concise & comprehensive book.
Divided into 200 small entry , Tolle has managed to , artistically , using the combination of few words in each entry , to get the reader into the state of Mindfulness. Reading an entry is like practicing 10 minutes meditation in the morning as suddenly you are mindful & enlightened.
Need not to read more than one or two entry each day.
No exaggeration , but this could be one of the quickest fix books I have ever read, to create a sense of peace. Well done Mr.Tolle
So easy yet so hard

Reviewer: Dr. Gunta M. Caldwell
By reading a book such as this one we can at least get an insight into how we can achieve what Tolle says he has achieved. Imagine living in the world with no past baggage hindering our present moment and no future baggage influencing our present moment! Yes then we can live in stillness. This can be achieved in a meditative state, but the art is to carry it into our every day lives. Imagine if we all did! What a wonderful world it would be! So let us keep working with what Tolle has offered us.

worst books ever
2010-04-20
Reviewer: T. Brogan
I mistakeningly ordered a few of his books. Worst books ever. I normally donate my books when I'm done reading them, these I just threw out. Don't even bother.
The publisher should be ashamed of themselves.
Pleasantly surprised
