Author(s): Eckhart Tolle

Spiritual/Religion

The author of The Power of Now shows how to live a fuller and more authentic life by quieting our thoughts and accessing the spiritual stillness deep within us that is found beyond the limits of our egos. In "Stillness Speaks, Eckhart Tolle illuminates the fundamental elements of his teaching, addressing the needs of the modern seeker by drawing from all spiritual traditions. At the core of the book is what the author calls "the state of presence," a living in the "now" that is both intensely inspirational and practical. When the pressures of future and past thinking disappear, fear and frustration also vanish, conquered by the moment. "Stillness Speaks takes the form of 200 individual entries, organized into 10 topic clusters that range from "Beyond the Thinking Mind" to "Suffering and the End of Suffering." The entries are concise and complete in themselves, but, read together, take on a transformative power. Review Quotes: Praise for "The Power of Now: "A reminder to be truly present in our own lives and liberated from our past and future. It can transform your thinking. The result? More joy, right now."
