Summary: A Total Bomb
Review: This 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.

Summary: Modern Day Tao Te'Ching
Review: This 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!

Summary: A Gem from Eckhart
Review: Once 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.

Summary: Wisdom Speaking out.
Review: Eckhart ends Chapter 1 with these questions "Do you need more knowledge"? "Is more imformation going to save the world, or faster computers, more scientific or intellectual analysis"? "Is it not wisdom that humanity needs most at this time"? But what is wisdom and where is it to be found? He then answers.............. "Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is needed. Being still, looking, and listening activates the non-conceptual intelligence within you. Let stillness direct your words and actions." These few words from Eckart Tolle sum up the essence of what he is continuing to convey to the world. That is ... True Freedom will be ours if we choose to "be still and just look and just listen" and APPLY the Wisdom which is speaking out from the stillness within each of us. It is the same stillness from which his words continue to emmanate out of and remind us, during those moments when we get lost back in mind, of the 'I Am' of our being-ness beyond name and form. Thank You Eckhart Ed Schulte

Summary: Wonderful beyond words. Poetic and deeply awakening
Review: "Spiritual seekers look for self-realization or enlightenment in the future. To be a seeker implies that you need the future. If this becomes true for you: you will need time until you realize... that you don't need time to be who you are." A quote, picked totally at random.. this book is so poetic and a wonderful meditation on the Self and Who We Are. Tolle is speaking from the still point, and strikes a bulls-eye (to the heart) with every phrase.. This is a book, of amazing depth; each paragraph is a meditation; if you contemplate each, the meaning will open up; try it, you'll be amazed.. well actually you'll be THAT in which amazement arises... if you get the point.

Summary: A helpful revisit of the main signposts in The Power of Now
Review: The Power of Now is my all time favorite book. It has changed my life in ways no other book has. I first read it one and a half years ago and have read it diligently since then. I listen to the CD's in my car almost daily. Last year I had the priveledge of going on a 5 day retreat with Eckhart at the Omega Institute in New York. It was a powerful, life changing experience and I can say he is the real thing. He is an embodiment of what we're all looking for. So I looked forward to Stillness Speaks since I read about it months ago. It is a good book. However, like Practicing the Power of Now, Stillness Speaks supports and strengthens the ideas in The Power of Now, but doesn't continue on from them. In other words, there's nothing new in Stillness Speaks. Which is fine and as it should be. The Power of Now said it all. Stillness Speaks seems designed as a way to go deeper into the concepts of The Power of Now. It's the main signposts in The Power of Now communicated and packaged in a different way. Therefore, it's not the new, groundbreaking book The Power of Now is. The content of Stillness Speaks will be familiar to everyone who has read The Power of Now. For this reason I give it four stars instead of five. I know I'll be reading, contemplating and meditating on Stillness Speaks for years to come. Stillness Speaks is not a conventional book, but a series of 200 short entries that are meant to be read one by one and meditated on. I would say one would have to fully read The Power of Now in order to get full benefit from Stillness Speaks. As with Practicing The Power of Now, I would recommend Stillness Speaks to those who have read The Power of Now and want to go deeper into it.

Summary: Be Still, My Mind!
Review: With very few words, in a sutra style (spiritual one-liners) Eckhart captures the essence of his "Power of Now" philosophy and carries it further with little power blurbs that leave your conditioned mind spinning, causing it to run for cover of silence. Woah! Good for little "peace breaks" throughout the day - keep it at your side and dip in often. Drink deeply and ponder!

Summary: A Booklet--Not a Book
Review: I liked the Power of Now, but this followup really need not be published, because there is nothing new here. If all the spaces between the paragraphs were taken out, then this booklet would be about 50 pages and the thoughts on those pages have all been said before. One of the most glaring mistakes is what Tolle has to say about nature. He says learn from nature on how to be still. Hahahha. Gee, nature is moving all the time. The universe is expanding, cells divide and mountatins move. To say that nature stands still and stillness speaks really says volumes about how naive Tolle is and why some of his stated beliefs are just flat out wrong. I think what really speaks is the high price of this book given its slim size. That says more than anything!

Summary: Great, but his first one is better
Review: It doesn't feel right giving four out of five stars to a masterpiece, which is what Stilness Speaks is. But that's because I do think his first book is better, and is the one people should (first) read. Stilness Speaks is a condensed version of The Power of Now, and people may not find it compelling enough, and consequently, may discard the ideas. Also, there are some key concepts that I remember from The Power of Now that are missing here. I know that Tolle warns that concepts should not be taken literally, but still, I doubt that if I had read this book first it would have made such a positive impact on me as did The Power of Now. But, because Tolle's ideas are so important, both books should probably be read (by everyone).
