My Favorite Audio book ever

I would say that Tolle has changed my life, but he would object to that and say that presence has changed my life. Either way, My life is a better place now than before I started listening to Eckhart Tolle.

I thought that the Power of Now was my favorite book, and then I listened to the "Art of Presence" and I was hooked on listening to Eckhart conducting live retreats. He works without notes so it is different every time and it is simply amazing.

Now that I have listened to this retreat, "Freedom from the World" I name this as the best audio I have ever listened to. It is long and that is great! The longer the better.

It feels like I am in the retreat with him. I can hear the people laugh (Eckhart is quite funny) and he talks about small details like what the people are doing for an outing and when the members of the retreat will be practicing silence.

I cannot believe that I am saying this, but the retreats are even more helpful and more accessible than "The Power of Now" or "A New Earth."

I own a couple of hundred audio books and most of them are wonderful and extraordinary. But I find myself listening to Tolle every chance I get. As soon as I have finished listening to this retreat (I still have a couple of hours left) I will probably just begin listening to it all over again.

Thank you for making these Tolle retreats available. This is the power of audio. This is as good as it gets! Now I am going to get back to listening!

Excellent

I love the book narrations for "The Power of Now" and "A New Earth", but I think I like this open format that Eckhart takes in this audio even more. He is such a genuine speaker and his words move me to consciousness every time I listen. Great audio, very insightful.

Wonderful

Listening to this book while being present and mindful has been a tremendously peaceful experience for me. I have found myself to be more connected and thoughtful throughout the day. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to connect with the depth of the moment and to have a deeper connection to their higher self/universe/god (Or whatever else you call this feeling of oneness in your head). This book has been very beneficial in helping me to disconnect with the pain body and to then evaluate my reactions in the moment instead of diverting to the familiar egoic reaction.

Nice While Reading Ramana Maharshi

What did you love best about Freedom from the World?

The presentation by Tolle is wonderful. As a person who has enjoyed teachings by Ramana Maharshi, this is like the cousin of the teachings in a more modern and Western environment. While some books or presentations of this type often sound like talking points issued by a Self-Help Guru, this, I sense, is based on things more Universal and deeper,

What did you like best about this story?

Subject and content as well as the really cool sense of being in the audience and listening to the talk.

What about Eckhart Tolle’s performance did you like?

I like him and how he approaches things. Words and sentences often echo other, often far more ancient, sources.

Any additional comments?

Thanks to audible.com for making this available t me -- and thank you for the Customer Service when things don't go right.

Makes it all makes sense.

I have read/listened much on the subject of spirituality. His teachings talk to me the most. I love that there is no reaching for enlightenment. That it is within us in this present moment. We need just look for it and accept it one moment at a time. We are not humans trying to live a spiritual life. We are spiritual beings trying to live a human existence. Spirituality is our birth right and it is you we are, now. Namaste.

A wonderful part of my recovery

I just listen to this again and again. Slowly it sinks in, and the listening provides immediate relief. My only suggestion is that through my phones speaker, the bell is very painful because it is so much louder than the speaker. I never seem to know when it's coming, and can't turn it off fast enough.

For fans of Tolle, a wonderful listen

Like most of his other "audiobooks," this is a recording of several days' sessions at a retreat. So much of the latter half is inspired by (mostly written) questions of retreat participants. Which is good if you're a fan of Tolle's, because it affords him an opportunity to find new analogies and "pointers" (as he calls them) to the teaching he is trying to enlighten in his listeners.

Excellt Freedom from the World

I enjoyed this audio version and how it has helped me to become more aware of my now moment. This is worth every penny to invest in your own self improvement in the world and within your own being.
