The best way to enjoy this book December 11, 2007 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
It is understandable to see 75 readers ranked this book 5 stars, while 27 ranked 1 star. The gap lies in expectation. After one read the book "The Power of Now," one may expect "Stillness Speaks" to be written in the same manner. It is very different in format, yet its effect can be as profound. I found the best way to enjoy this book is to listen to the audio book in the car. Do this whenever you feel like and as often as you wish, it may transform your day and life.
Stillness opens the door to who you are. "Be Still and know....." Psalm 46:10 October 23, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Written in the style of proverbs or sutra's, this is not a story. It is like a devotional tool to practice the presence of NOW and be present. These are thoughts and words that can lead you to quiet stillness, and no words. It has given me new meaning to the words; "quiet time". In today's world of high speed, high tech, instant message and fast food this book can open a door for you to be still and listen to the silence. When you are able to hear the silence you may discover something essential about who you are and why you are here. I recommend the book, but it's not about the book. It's about the practice. "Be here now". Listen, and hear the stillness. "Be still and know..."

Simply Wonderful February 12, 2007 13 out of 15 found this review helpful
There are countless sources available for daily meditation and life skills coaching. Eckhart Tolle's STILLNESS SPEAKS is one of the most eloquent, impressive and engagingly simple that I have used. I found that it was a wonderful addition to my existing daily reflection. Reading one or two paragraphs at a sitting, like a brief prayer, can have a deep impact on one's outlook and attitude. I have "practiced the presence" for most of my life, and Tolle's writings in this little volume have become a valued contribution to my spiritual life. I had read THE POWER OF NOW prior to this, and it was the source of my admiration for Tolle's insights and contributions to living a life on purpose. I highly recommend his writings.
Take on vacation to relax and reflect December 8, 2006 10 out of 13 found this review helpful
1. This is a small book that easily stows into your carry-on bag. It is meant to be read in small sections at a time, which is compatible with traveling or relaxing around the pool, fireplace, etc. It is great for finding true relaxation and hopefully inner peace.
2. This book also makes a nice gift if you want to introduce someone to Tolle's writings. It does not contain some of the more controversial things (like women's pain bodies) that the "Power of Now" incuded.
3. If you've already read Toole's books and are ready to move on, I highly recommend "Insight Meditation, The Practice of Freedom" by Joseph Goldstein.
