In this work, Eckhart Tolle illuminates the fundamental elements of his teachings, addressing the needs of the modern seeker by drawing from all spiritual traditions. At the core of the audio book is what the author calls the state of presence , a living in the now that is both intensely inspirational and practical. 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 parts, organized into ten 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 when heard together they take on a transformative power.
