New York Times bestselling author Eckhart Tolle ― Learn the transformative power of living in the now

Attaining Eckhart Tolle’s state of presence: In Stillness Speaks, Eckhart Tolle illuminates the fundamental elements of his teaching, addressing the needs of the modern seeker by drawing from all spiritual traditions. At the core of the book is what the author calls “the state of presence,” a living in the ‘now’ that is both intensely inspirational and practical.

The power of now: When the pressures of future and past thinking disappear, fear and frustration also vanish, conquered by the moment. Stillness Speaks takes the form of 200 individual entries, organized into 10 topic clusters that range from “Beyond the Thinking Mind” to “Suffering and the End of Suffering.” Each entry is concise and complete in itself, but, read together, take on a transformative power.

If you have read The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer, Buddha’s Brain by Rick Hanson, or other Eckhart Tolle books such as The Power of Now, you will want to own and read Stillness Speaks.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Expanding on his mantraGet out of your head and into the momentEckhart Tolle offers this new book on living in the now. Here Tolle emphasizes the art of "inner stillness"--the place where thoughts, ego and attachments fall always and we are left only with what the moment has to offer: "When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world." Don't expect this to be a quick skim or even a straight-through read. Like his previous bestselling book The Power of Now, Tolle uses brief entries and numerous white spaces to give readers easy in-and-out access into enticing spiritual insights that expound on inner stillness, such as learning the difference between surrender and resignation, overcoming the fear death, and how to end suffering. In fact, this is designed to be an ongoing conversation. Pick it up any time or any place, but be sure to allow for plenty of breaks for serious contemplation. Even as you occasionally abandon the book, don't abandon the teachings, pleads Tolle. Embracing and practicing inner stillness is no longer a luxury, he writes, "but a necessity if humankind is not to destroy itself. At the present time the dysfunction of the old consciousness and the arising of the new are both accelerating. Paradoxically things are getting worse and bett! er at the same time, although 'the worse' is more apparent because it makes so much noise." Devotees who have read all of Tolle's books and audio tapes probably won't find new ideas or information here. But they may appreciate the refresher course --revisiting familiar concepts in a slightly different package. --Gail Hudson

From Publishers Weekly

Some readers of this slim follow-up to the bestselling The Power of Now may be alarmed that the seemingly wise and gentle Tolle writes in the introduction that his new work "can be seen as a revival for the present age of the oldest form of recorded spiritual teachings: the sutras of ancient India." Tolle explains that the Vedas and Upanishads, as well as the words of the Buddha, the parables of Jesus and the wisdom of the Tao Te Ching can be thought of as sutras in the sense that they share a brevity that "does not engage the thinking mind more than is necessary." Like those great sacred works, Tolle continues, his writings come from inner stillness. "Unlike those ancient sutras, however, they don't belong to any one religion or spiritual tradition, but are immediately accessible to the whole of humanity." Repeating what has become a familiar if no less ominous note in contemporary spiritual life, he adds that this unprecedented accessibility is due to the urgent need for humanity to wake up if we are not to destroy ourselves. It is the stillness that is our common Being-which is the formless container for what is happening in the now-"that will save and transform the world." In the brief chapters that follow, Tolle describes stillness with eloquent economy. Beautiful stand-alone paragraphs offer insight into the defensive nature of the ego versus what he sees as our true being, the attentive, receptive mind behind thought, the spaciousness and peace that blossoms inside when we accept what is, including death. "Your unhappiness ultimately arises not from the circumstances of your life but from the conditioning of your mind." No one will doubt that Tolle has freed himself from nagging thoughts and fears. But the rest of us?

Lovely meditative book
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2025

It is as described, but it is true it’s a very short read and was not meant to be read through. It is to read a page at a time, maybe two, and really feel the words and concept to what it’s trying to convey. It is meant to be meditative. If you like Eckhart’s teachings it’s more of a reminder of the same old message in different forms and words. It’s so easy to get lost in the daily to do’s and worries, and this book helps to bring u a little more to the present moment. It can only take 1 minute a day. Put it somewhere you can see and can open it and just read one page. Breath.
There are no new concepts in this book, it is more of a decorative book, big font, a few sentences on each page. It feels thin in its words, and therefore seems as not good value for money, but it says EVERYTHING, and what value it has is up to you to decide. I’m impressed for someone to have the same message on each page but in a different form. You know what to expect, so just by looking at it you get a reminder of the message.

Great book so far, Love ET's work! The book shipped fast, was well packaged, a good price, and was pleasantly surprised the book arrived as a hardback at this price! Hadn't noticed if the description said hardback, but I just assumed it would be a paperback. Would definitely recommend the book for ET fans, or anybody on a spiritual journey. Would buy from this seller again.

It's a book I keep and revisit
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2014

I can't recall if I've already reviewed this book (hazards of the ditzy mind), but here it is...either for the first time or the 10th. I say if a book is good once, it's good a bunch of times!

Stillness Speaks, by Eckhart Tolle, written in 2003, is a little, 127 page book that I read and re-read frequently. Simple and yet profound in content, it reminds me over and over and over again that the answers I seek, are found in stillness.

Eckhart Tolle has an elegant way of stating simply, that which feels the most complicated. In his many books, he conveys the message of the importance of being in the moment, and of gaining perspective from the egoic chatter the mind so often convinces us is the true and important reality.

I very often use a highlighter when I read; a habit I developed in college to help me find points I want to remember later. I had to laugh because I think I've highlighted every word in this book. That's how deeply it speaks to my spirit every time I read it. The book contains 10 short chapters and I will leave you with a favorite quote from each:

"True Intelligence operates silently. Stillness is where creativity and solutions to problems are found."

"Every thought pretends that it matters so much."

"Your unhappiness ultimately arises not from the circumstance of your life, but from the conditions of your mind."

"Is life ever 'not this moment'?"

"Reincarnation doesn't help you if in your next incarnation you still don't know who you are."

"Sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand and becoming comfortable with not knowing."

"We have forgotten what rocks, plants, and animals still know. We have forgotten how to be - to be still, to be ourselves, to be where life is: Here and Now."

"Love does not want or fear anything."

"To every accident and disaster there is a potentially redemptive dimension that we are usually unaware of."

"Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.
