I found this audiobook to be very relaxing and comforting.

What a clear and refreshing book, 9 Sep 2003
Spiritual books have an air of cult about them, this book is no such thing. Deeper than our values, inter-wound into our beliefs and absent from our mindless habits there is a higher self. Be here now.The signposts used in this book have helped me to put what matters most first. Eckhart Tolle places into words the hardest of ideas and clearly states the beliefs that hinder my happiness. The writings are open and inviting, following the same gentle tone used in The Power of Now. Each chapter follows a basic theme, striking a note on the things that are deep down in all of us. And just looking at and knowing these signposts makes my mind a more interesting place. In essence, this book is the core of what many religions take years to teach. Its secret is not in the teaching, but in the writings openness and acceptance to what we are. I would recommend this book to anyone to which it appeals.

stick with it, 16 Dec 2006
I have to admit to not understanding a thing that was written, a book to profound and deep. Spoken in riddles and tree hugging phrases a book you have to want to read, and not one you buy as a gift for some one else unless you are sure they ARE SPIRITUAL beings. Well this was my opinion when I first started to read it, but now I have changed my mind after I stuck with it and opened my mind to many of the things I read. I will keep trying to understand but I guess it's going to take me for ever. Nevertheless thank you Kerry for the gift.I would have rather read it than not.

A collection of 'signposts', 10 Jan 2006
While the CD’s aren’t intended to be ‘entertaining’ they are perhaps a little too ‘dry’. Eckhart Tolle presents many ‘signposts’ as he calls them. While the CD may be of interest to collectors of signposts, the CD is not very engaging and lacks the subtle dynamism and wry sense of humour of his talks in front of a live audience or at retreats. I’d still recommend buying the CD’s if you can afford them, but if you have a limited budget I’d recommend you buy his ‘live’ recordings in preference.

Stillness promoting, 12 Jan 2004
By A Customer
This book is an attempt to recognize the stillness that lies beneath all. Stillness is the gate through which we enter into, what they call in Tao the Great Way, in Christianity, where we realize God. All through our lives, our minds are filled with voices, essentially other people's voices which, through repititon (a conditioning of sorts), we come to accept as our own. From this, we form our view of the world, our reality. Beneath this, is reality itself, existing in complete stillness, or neutrality, going wherever it wants to go, completely uninterested in our version of it. Often, our version of reality diverges with reality itself. Voices in our minds tell us to go one way, while reality goes its own way. That's when we feel suffering and dissatisfaction. If we learn to slowly disengage with many of these voices, all that mental noise, we become more and more in tune with stillness, listening less and less to our own mental noice, more and more to this stillness. Result: we become less and less in conflict with reality as it is. We flow with life, not against it. This book is a great pointer to that stillness, but not stillness itself, as Eckhart Tolle will tell you. Nevertheless, it is a great guide on the pathless path to stillness. Also recommended are Byron Katie and Tony Parsons.

Meditative, Powerful and less marred by Unprovable & Unfalsifiable Metaphysics, 1 May 2008
Although much shorter and suffused with such lengths of silence that one wonders what exactly has been said, I found this to be more powerful than Eckhart Tolle's first book (which itself was brilliant). His original 'The Power of Now' was marred by the inclusion of an alluring but nonetheless unfalsifiable Eastern metaphysics. Tolle -almost- does what he says in the introduction: he presents a message that one already knows deep within oneself. I trust the listener will be discerning enough to recognize when Tolle unwittingly stops being a spiritual teacher and takes on the role of religious preacher. Thankfully, in this, his second book, he is less of the latter and more of the former.

A Wonderful book!, 9 May 2009
As with all Eckhart Tolle books, this is another 'bible' for me. It's written in sections which can be read together or on their own, which makes it easy to read and understand. As in 'The Power of Now' it is a spiritual book written in Western form which can teach us to live in the moment and understand how our minds work so that we can find peace. I think it is a book everyone should read!

Particularly powerful, 16 May 2008
Even though I have been around the block more than a couple of times with Eckhart's material and spirituality in general, I followed a recommendation and purchased the audio version of this (having picked up the book version in a shop and deciding I don't need it) and now listen to a chapter each day.
It's very nice indeed. It's a nice follow-on from the recent webcasts and one has the luxury of listening to him the whole time without the oprah-atics of having to listen to him being interrupted all the time!

More spontaneous wisdom from Tolle., 27 Feb 2008
Becoming aware of space and silence where ever you are creates an inner space between your thoughts, an inner stillness. This inner stillness takes you beyond your thinking mind (ego) and reveals the un-manifested dimension where problems cease to exist and you always have everything you need.

A glossary of the writings of Eckhart Tolle, 2 Sep 2009
If you have read books by Eckhart Tolle, such as The Power of Now, and to my mind his best work A New Earth. Then Stillness Speaks is a book which can be kept near at hand, to ponder some of the paragraphs contained in his works. The profound passages from his books helped me to get through a difficult time. The Power of Now, and A New Earth give much food for thought, and the short clips in Stillness Speaks enable you to think of the messages his books convey,A New Earth: Create a Better Life without going into lengthy reading. Good to keep nearby.
