Through the Open Door

The teachings of Tolle are deceptively simple. Here he continues his teaching on the benefits of focusing on the now and being present in the moment. He has a low-key manner that is easy to listen to and to follow. With self-conscious humility Tolle breaks down his ideas into simple concepts that together offer a glimpse into the profound. He takes his subject matter seriously but not himself, and sprinkles in a light dose of humor. The recording has some of the drawbacks of a live recording, from a baby crying to some volume unevenness, but the energy of the presentation offsets any such shortcomings. J.E.M.
