Hachette Australia, 2011 - Body, Mind & Spirit - 130 pages
Eckhart Tolle's writings on the power of living in the moment have fast become the most sought-after modern classic on spiritual enlightenment. Now, in this new, life-transforming book, Tolle illuminates the fundamental elements of his teachings, as we are invited to contemplate the spiritual truths that come through embracing silence and stillness.
STILLNESS SPEAKS is a collection of 200 concise and beautifully illuminating entries, arranged into twelve reflective themes. Each entry can stand as its own teaching or may be read as part of the fluid sequence of its theme. In their totality, the entries provide a road map out of human suffering.
When we are no longer limited by our thinking mind, suffering and pain disappear and we are able to move towards a fuller understanding of our relationships, of nature, and of the profound wisdom that is to be found in stillness.

About the author (2011)

Spiritual author and teacher Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany on February 16, 1948. He lived in Spain and England before settling in Vancouver, Canada in 1995. He received his education at the Universities of London and Cambridge. Following several sustained periods of depression, at the age of 29 he experienced an enlightenment that dramatically changed the course of his life. His subsequent spiritual teachings have focused on awareness of the present moment, freedom from negativity, and the attainment of inner peace. He does not align himself with any specific religion or tradition. He has written numerous books including The Power of Now; A New Earth; Stillness Speaks; and Practicing the Power of Now. He is a public speaker who teaches and travels throughout the world. In January 2008, A New Earth was selected for Oprah Winfrey's book club.
