I have read and listened to many other spiritual teachers and, for me, Tolle is the most calming and mind changing. He has a wonderful sesnse of humour, a quiet tranquil way of talking and gently points out how crazily our human minds work. If I wake up in the morning out of sorts or uptight I just listen to some of a Tolle CD. It always gives me a better perspective on whatever is getting to me and puts me a much more peaceful state to start my day.Tolle has written several books and done a series of CDs that include his workshops and readings of his books. They all have something slightly different to offer. This particular CD "Finding Your Life's Purpose" is, I think, his best. I highly recommend it particularly to those who want to find that seemingly unattainable peace of mind. 40 of 40 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Finding your Life's Purpose (CD) (Audio CD) Having read The Power of Now and A New Earth, I was curious to find out if this CD set offered anything new from E. Tolle. It does, the CDs are good for people already familiar with E. Tolle's work as well as people who have never heard of him, like my son.My 18 year old son was in the car with me with me when I first listened to the CDs and he was intrigued by them. My son said that E. Tolle's voice was very soothing and peaceful, and that the author had some interesting things to say. My son hasn't ready any of Tolle's books. So I guess the material in this CD set is good for both, people who have never heard of Tolle (like my son) and for people who already know him (like me). The two CDs make up one talk, so it's best if you listen to them in sequence the first time around. After that, I've left any of the two disks in the car CD player and when it plays I get something more out of it that somehow I didn't get the first time. The author leads you...Read more 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Finding your Life's Purpose (CD) (Audio CD) Ever notice that your thoughts - especially the negative ones - are fairly repetitive? Find it hard to sit still and empty the mind, much less meditate? Then Tolle is a great place to start. I definitely wouldn't start with a live lecture, but one of his earlier studio readings. He's more articulate when recorded, and has a way of coming across in live audio as a bit crazy... with this nervous laugh. Tolle's great 101 reading for discovering self awareness and positivity and spirituality, because it's hard to access these if you're living in your brain. The underlying theme is that the brain is an organ that, left unchecked, will spew insanity. I do believe that people who live in the brain (as opposed to the "heart" or soul) are missing a lot of life, and have since discovered that the brain can be trusted as long as you don't define yourself in the brain. That you realize it's an organ to be used, not a master. My two cents: a) Tolle for an accessible start to higher living, and b)...Read more |
