<DIV>For Eckhart Tolle and the millions whose lives he's touched, words that are spoken from a state of presence can carry seekers into that same state, the basis for all true spiritual teachings. Beyond the information that is being conveyed, something deeper happens. For the listener, a field of alert stillness arises where before there was mental noise, signaling the entry to a state of presence that precedes transformation.<BR><BR>While Tolle's writing is not simple, he does not "speak down" to his audience in any way ? his talks are far more informal, relaxed, and funny. Tolle makes people laugh at themselves, with the result being powerfully effective therapy. <i>Living a Life of Inner Peace</i> records one of Tolle's most moving, transformative talks. For those new to his teachings, this is an ideal introduction. Those familiar with his work, including the bestsellers <i>The Power of Now</i> and <i>Stillness Speaks,</i> should be prepared for something extraordinary.</div>
