About this listen

This long-awaited second book by renowned spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle goes deeper into the teachings so eloquently and clearly expressed in his first book, The Power of Now.

These short, clear entries are organized into ten topic clusters ranging from "Stillness and Silence" and "Beyond the Thinking Mind" to "Relationships" and "Suffering and the End of Suffering." Whether listened to individually or in topic clusters, these entries take on a rare transformative power.

While its message is broad and profound, Stillness Speaks is also highly practical. Eckhart Tolle shows us how to be with another in a relationship that can contain and weather all things, how to sit with a dying person, where to find wisdom, how to free ourselves of guilt, and how to control our constant stream of thoughts. Underneath the words, and in the spaces between them, we find the power of stillness, a vibrantly alive state existing only in the present moment. Stillness Speaks draws upon the essence of all spiritual traditions, offering a message that is both ancient and contemporary, filled with timely and powerful wisdom.

Some of Eckhart's Best

A distilled spacious overview that points you in the direction of surrendered acceptance and peace.

Audio Presentation

This is an audio presentation, a monologue, not a book as read by the author. There are large gaps, times when Eckhart is organizing his thoughts. Some of these gaps are up to 30 seconds and could have been edited out. I played this audiobook at 1.35 speed. However, as this book is full of deep thoughts and guidance, these gaps can be useful to contemplate the wisdom.

Food for thought 🙏

Paradoxically, I know one of Mr Tolle's point is, this book shouldn't be about food for thought. But I found nourishment in these words. I think this what I needed, and all I will need to live in the present.
Thank you!

a personal savior

I used to listen to A New Earth regularly on my walks. then discovered this.
Wow. Yruly life altering. I listen to this so often and find many peaceful nuggets. Still. Never understood the need for religion. and while this isn't religion, it finally explains why people need to believe in something bigger than us. And why it seems the world is falling apart. would not be happening if everyone lived this book. Thank you, Eckhart.

Brilliant!

After reading the power of now and new earth awakening, this book is the guide and reminder of bringing that knowledge into practice day to day. Bringing Awareness forward on a daily basis through stillness and making room for new routines.

Stillness speaks

This is a book I can turn to throughout my day. As I listen my mind quiets down and I return to center. I highly recommend it to Eckert Tolle readers and anyone who is looking for direction on quieting in the inner clamour.
