Stillness Speaks, Eckhart Tolle, Spiritual, English Edition

Stillness Speaks by Eckhart Tolle, subtitled A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment, English edition. A compact book in the tradition of aphoristic spiritual literature, composed of short passages on silence, presence and consciousness. The purple cover identifies Tolle as the author of the international bestseller The Power of Now. The copy is in good condition.

Tolle published Stillness Speaks in 2003 as a companion to The Power of Now. Where that book offered an extended exposition, Tolle chose here a more austere form: short, self-contained texts that invite contemplation rather than reading. The book belongs to a long tradition of wisdom literature that draws its force from what it leaves out.
