Book Reviews of Living a Life of Inner Peace
Book Review: poor quality recording
Summary: 1 Stars
I had to return this CD set, as the CD kept skipping and stuttering, and the parts that were audible were of poor quality, with a muffled aspect to the sound. So I can't say much at all about the content! I was disappointed, as I'd been looking forward to hearing this CD very much. (Amazon was very cooperative about refunding my money even though I had of course opened the packaging of the CD. )Book Review: Very good, but not as good as some
Summary: 4 Stars
I have read and listened to many of Tolle's books. However, I would not recommend this book if you have not read "The Power of Now" or "Practicing the Power of Now". Tolle is a master spiritual teacher, but for a novice, this book can be a little confusing. Also, a new reader might be put off by the repetition. For me, it was quite soothing and helpful, but it is not my favorite of his books.Book Review: Like a very good meal!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend it to those seriously, sincerely in the path of understanding oneself. Eckart Tolle's insights has become to me a significant tool in my spiritual sustenence. The spirit becomes filled after listening to him. Like a very good meal! One says, Thank you very much!!Book Review: A set of CDs for people in search of inner peace
Summary: 5 Stars
Just when I thought The Power of Now (the CD set) was the best CD collection in understanding and settling the mind activity, Eckhart Tolle has done even a better job in this presentation this CD, "Living a Life of Inner Peace". The Power of Now, is a more detailed, comprehensive version of understanding the egoic mind. However, it is very hard to stay focus with Eckhart Tolle's words in "The Power of Now" if one just started their path of searching the inner peace inside us. When I first started listening "The Power of Now", I felt that at times I get pulled back to the automatic thought form and I had to repeatedly remind myself to be back to the present moment in listening to Eckhart Tolle's words in The Power of Now. However, Eckhart Tolle's humor got my attention when I listen to the CD, "Living a Life of Inner Peace". His humor also reminds me of the egoic entity inside me is not my inner being. Whenever I am listening to Eckhart Tolle's words in "Living a Life of Inner Peace", I felt the excessive mind-made activity subsides very fast. His words are the reminders of "Stay Present".
It is so easy for us to be lost in thought forms. I found myself in this situation every time I thought I will be forever free from thoughts. I will never say I can forever be free from the egoic thoughts anymore ... because it purely depends on what my choice is for each moment. If my choice for the present moment is to be obsessed with the mind-made sense of self, I will be tortured by the egoic mind. If my choice for the present moment is through acceptance and asking for inner peace, one shall find this moment of peace and joy... It is a life long journey to find peace, yet peace, joy and harmony can only be found in the present moment. Never mind if 2 minutes ago I was grumpy or upset, because I am a human being. However, this current moment offers us an opportunity to choose whether we want to stay grumpy or we want to accept what is ... and thus find peace and harmony within us.
Many of us are on Earth in search of the next set of spiritual teachings to fulfill ourselves. However, what I found to be the most effective way of finding inner peace is through repetition. Eckhart Tolle's books, CDs are one of the many tools and paths out there. I have repeatedly used his work as pointers to help me settle the mind and finding inner peace.
Book Review: More than I expected.
Summary: 5 Stars
Eckart explains things in a very practical and applicable way. I highly recommend the book or the book on CD.
