Book Reviews of Stillness SpeaksBook Review: Spiritual Power Bars Summary: 4 StarsThe content is essentially the same as that in "The Power of Now," but repackaged into bite-size contemplative nuggets. If you like opening a book at random, reading a few lines, and meditating upon it, then this is for you. Here's one of my favorite thought-bites: "Surrender to this moment, not to a story through which you interpret the moment and then try to resign yourself to it."
Book Review: An instant spiritual classic Summary: 5 StarsThis is the real sequel to "The Power of Now", this a book that you will cherish, you'll find reminders on every page, reminders of who you really are, and what in life really matters.. this is my new gift book, I've already given it to all my friends... I'm sure you'll cherish it as much as I do...
Book Review: A Total Bomb Summary: 1 StarsThis is really a big let down for me because I am a huge Eckhart Tolle Fan. The problem here is that the book is true to its title because there are more blank spaces than words. It looks to to me that this little book was put together in a rush. The graphics seem homespun and at times something out of a science fiction B movie. Instead of a mystical feel, it looks like smoke under a lamp in some of the photos. I can't take take this inadequate volume seriously.
Book Review: Modern Day Tao Te'Ching Summary: 5 StarsThis is a marvelous daily meditation piece! If you have read the Tao Te'Ching, then this book will further help you understand the universal truths taught there and in all great spiritual texts. These truths cannot and do not change - they only can be explained in different ways. Tolle is giving us a modern day explanation and modern examples of living our lives in harmony with spirit.If you have never read the Tao, then you also have some wonderful reading to look forward to. These seemingly simple statements should be read, thought about, and digested over time. As the author says in the beginning, you should NOT read the book all the way through, but slowly savor each piece. Each statement, and the thoughts inbetween, can change your life for the better if just put into practice. Enjoy!
Book Review: A Gem from Eckhart Summary: 5 StarsOnce again Eckhart has graciously given us pristine gems of reflective wisdom that go right to the core of our being. This small yet powerful book greets us with straight-talk about the graceful importance of allowing life to arise without the chattering mind and various emotional states compulsively commenting on, dominating, and coloring what otherwise can be directly realized as the naked suchness of life. Anyone who has met Eckhart in person readily recognizes that he embodies the title of his book.
