Hardcover Description

Expanding on his mantra—Get out of your head and into the moment—Eckhart 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


Reviews From Our Customers

Return To Sender

What a disappointment this book was. I was expecting the Power of Now, but only got a dim bulb. Another reviewer is correct. This book should have been a paperback, instead of a costly hardcover. Most of the book is blank anyway. What a rip off!


A manual for Living Free of Suffering

Read this book. Take it with you anywhere you go. Put it under your pillow at night. If you don't like it, forgive yourself and gently stop thinking about the material and just listen to what it says. This is sacred material amazingly available to everyone. This book heralds this New Age of Freedom from Suffering. After deeply studying many old and new sacred material such as the Bible and many related studies, A Course in Miracles, other works and lectures by Eckhart Tolle, works of Don Miguel Ruiz, and many many others, I truly believe this book is the clearest and most concise sacred book written in English in our century. This book is a Teacher and if you are willing, it can deliver you from suffering.


5 stars +

A wondrous book that continues to point the way to our inner stillness. These 'teachings' very simply say and show one how to be still and to Be with this stillness. Reminding us of the Golden Thread the connects all of the original Teachings from throughout the ages, the words are arranged in short paragraphs that impact our Being beyond the mind, allowing more Stillness to emerge.

Even as some people, perhaps through the ego, have expected this book to have more words and new messages, Stillness Speaks reminds us of true simplicity and purpose of a Conscious Life. Simply by holding this book, one might feel the energy of the book, the teachings, the consciousness emanating from within it.

If anyone has disliked or loved any of Eckhardt Tolle's books, tapes, or videos; its important to listen and to read the words and pointers over and over again. Each time a new 'understanding' will come through for each of us. Sometimes it seems like reading a 'new' book ... same 'words', yet a greater and deeper knowing.

There is nothing to anticipate with this work or this material, simply to Be with it, and to Be with What Is.

With gratitude to Eckhardt.
