Be Still, My Mind!August 27, 2003 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
With very few words, in a sutra style (spiritual one-liners) Eckhart captures the essence of his "Power of Now" philosophy and carries it further with little power blurbs that leave your conditioned mind spinning, causing it to run for cover of silence. Woah!
Good for little "peace breaks" throughout the day - keep it at your side and dip in often.
Drink deeply and ponder!
A Booklet--Not a BookAugust 26, 2003 8 out of 13 found this review helpful
I liked the Power of Now, but this followup really need not be published, because there is nothing new here. If all the spaces between the paragraphs were taken out, then this booklet would be about 50 pages and the thoughts on those pages have all been said before. One of the most glaring mistakes is what Tolle has to say about nature. He says learn from nature on how to be still. Hahahha. Gee, nature is moving all the time. The universe is expanding, cells divide and mountatins move. To say that nature stands still and stillness speaks really says volumes about how naive Tolle is and why some of his stated beliefs are just flat out wrong. I think what really speaks is the high price of this book given its slim size. That says more than anything!
