Book Reviews of Stillness Speaks
Book Review: Clarity that resonates!
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderful little book full of simple truths written with a clarity that resonates profoundly even after the book is put down.
A powerful tool for anyone trying to break free from years of habitual behaviour and a fresh breeze for anyone stifled by too much over-intellectualizing about the human condition.
Not a book to guzzle in one sitting but rather to dip into and be refreshed a drop at at time.
This book can bring simple joy and meaning back to everyday life.
Thank you Eckhart.
Book Review: Clear, right to the Truth
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book to be very insightful. It's written very clearly, and cuts right through challenging thoughts. It's 'paragraph' layout makes it easy to read, and fitting for the kind of book it is. I'd recommend it to anyone with an open mind seeking Truth.Book Review: Comfort in your own skin
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great. When silence becomes our friend, then we know we are on purpose. I achieved this when I read Optimal Thinking: How to Be Your Best Self. Optimal Thinking showed me how to be my best and create my best life. I suggest you read both of these books if you want to make the most of every moment.Book Review: Comprehendible but not comprehensive
Summary: 4 Stars
The author-reviewer who claimed that Eckhart Tolle just wrote "Stillness Speaks" in his own style despite what the common market wants is inaccurate. Tolle's title and cover alone suggest media tampering, and playing to the market and sacred dollar-given that Tolle chooses to hide-away and write instead of publicly teach.
Other writers have now jumped on the "The Power of Now" money-train (Tolle's first bestseller) to come up with ludicrous, convoluted titles like "The Power of this Moment".
What these one-step wonder books miss out on is comprehensiveness. The logic of "the now is all there is" philosophy is that there is nowhere to go after that - except writing books for profit. Tolle no longer sits on park-benches watching life go by but toils at his laptop so he has more lira to buy.
However, as a spiritual person, I would say that there are indeed further steps which these books do not broach. There is impersonal social responsibility as proclaimed by Andrew Cohen. Diet and energy-work to prepare for enlightenment taught by Dave Oshana. Simple being as taught by masters like Ramana Maharshi and Poonjaji.
However I would not want to see these topics written about by those who don't know about them as they were experts. So its just as well that certain authors do not go there. My advice is to find a really comprehensive teaching.
Book Review: Creme de la Creme
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is beautiful in its simplicity. Eckhart conveys deep and powerful truth with a minimum of words. He gets right to the essence. In my humble opinion Eckhart Tolle is the creme de la creme of contemporary spiritual teachers. Joan Tollifson is also one of my favorites.
