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

"This book, of course, uses words which in the act of reading become thoughts in your mind. But those are not ordinary thoughts - repetitive, noisy, self-serving, clamoring for attention.... The thoughts within this book don't say, 'Look at me,' but 'Look beyond me.' Because the thoughts came out of stillness, they have power - the power to take you back into the same stillness from which they arose. That stillness is also inner peace, and that stillness and peace is the essence of your Being. It is the stillness that will save and transform the world." -- From the Introduction by Eckhart Tolle To find more titles in your Large Print or Super Large Print format, Search in Books using EasyRead and the size of the font that makes reading easier and more enjoyable for you.

A Portal to Serenity January 6, 2010
GARDEN HAIKU (California, USA)
Stillness is a word that contains everything. Distinctive from Mr. Tolle's other two bestsellers, Q & A formatted THE POWER OF NOW and ten-chaptered well-paced A NEW EARTH, STILLNESS SPEAKS is a work of brief, meditative quotes on truth. This peaceful book is small enough to go anywhere with you and serves as a quick portal to Serenity. When one becomes so still and unencumbered by thoughts, one's limited being is dissolved and the surrounding all life can breath through this formless state~ Thoughts belong to this world; stillness is the language of heaven.

very, very calming. Centering. But for something more applicable to life, check out Live Like A Fruit Fly on amazon.
