In a nutshell: The Mindfulness teaching is about formal and informal exercises. Tolle's books are not. I wouldn't recommend Tolle's books to 'beginners'.

Personally, I didn't enjoy 'The Power of Now'. I am a very rational kind of person, and I thought that this had a distinct whiff of mubo-jumbo.

Could you please recommend any books on mindfulness?

I am an intermediate and I didn't quite love The Power of Now. I also tried to read Full Catastrophe Living but found it quite boring.

Thank you in advance!

I'll leave it to Jon for the recommendations. He's far more well-read than I am.

@Xaric, I found 'Mindfulness for Dummies'
by Shamash Alidina a great book.

In defense of Eckhart Tolle, I found his books truly very profound. I'm also a very rational person, but I could recognize almost everything he describes in myself and others. It was 99% truth for me, and the other 1% were Bible references that added nothing in my opinion. I especially liked 'a new earth'.

@Peter

I will give "A New Earth" a try!

Thank you for your recommendation!

[Peter]

OK, but know that it is not a mindfulness book. You have to be ready for it, so to speak.

Maybe you'd better start with: 'Mindfulness for Dummies'

@Peter

I'll find that out... I mean if I am ready

I will let you know about my first impressions!

Thanks again!
