Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one. In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are and learn to live and breathe freely.

Tells it straight, with humour.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Happily would have, time permitting. This is a no-nonsense, clear and accessible teaching of Mindfulness. I haven't seen one as well written. Also it uses good humour - I was laughing along as well as nodding my head lots as this applies to me - it applies to the human condition. If anyone wants to de-stress and find some peace as well as greater control and efficiency of mind, you'll find it by reading this book. The narrator was good too. Recommended.

Instant Enlightenment
I've read so much about mindfulness, as I'm sure a lot of people have. This book nails it, it is so useful from word one. It particularly resonated with me, the examples were spot on, not wishy washy, and they were all relevant. I'm relistening to it straight away as soon as I put this full stop.

A great beginners guide to mindfulness
This would be a great book for those starting off on the journey of discovering peace and calm through mindfulness. If you find your brain is doing more talking in a non-stop constant drone, and that the messages you receive seems to be quite negative and your brain within is going in more directions than a London main railway train line, then you’ll probably find a lot of useful ideas in this book. As William Blake once said, “whether we make a heaven or hell of earth, ‘tis the mind that makes it so”. There are some really interesting ideas about the purpose of what mindfulness could achieve. For example, a thought is nothing more than an opinion, an opinion nothing more than a belief, and a belief we hold is nothing more than a story. We tell ourselves stories all the time about who we are and how we are, they could include “I’m no good” or “I really like myself” but which story are we plugged into and listening to. The most important thing to think about is that they are nothing more than stories, not necessarily true and perhaps sometimes we need to tell ourselves a new story that’s much more positive or realistic and without being so hurtful to ourselves so we can have a better quality of life and well-being. Mindfulness helps us to let go of the thoughts that can be negative in many ways and have new thoughts or less stressful thoughts (or even fewer thoughts - just observe, notice and let go) to promote a calmer, less negative life style. This book also include some nice exercises to help practice mindfulness.
I also like the way the book looks at how we deal with emotions. We can’t control them so we need to learn to accept them, just by observing them, noting them and even giving them a name and labelling them (which can really reduce its impact and effect (eg you look, that’s an angry thought). This can often reduce the strength of an emotion.
If we had a boss who constantly yelled at us, even when he’d asked us to do something, we might become upset. However, we seem to allow our own mind to yell at us as often even when we’ve done something that appears to have been set in motion by the mind. We create cycles which can be very harming and need to learn new ways of making sure all of my mind doesn’t shout at me, and when it does appear to come to just observe the thought or your opinion and then let it go and dissolve. And keep remembering that your thoughts are nothing more than that story you tell yourself, that doesn’t mean to say change the story but you can. Short book but could improve or change your life.
