This wonderfully unique collaboration brings together two masters of their fields, joining original words of wisdom by Eckhart Tolle with the delightful illustrations they prompted from Patrick McDonnell. Inhabited by beloved MUTTS characters, each heartwarming page provokes thought, insight, and smiling reverence for every moment. This charming book by two modern masters inspires readers of all stripes to recognize the lessons of the present moment, as embodied by the dogs and cats who share our world.

Guardians of Being is another delightful collaboration between spiritual teacher, Eckhart Tolle and Patrick McDonnell, the creator of the Mutts cartoon characters. Despite the cartoon illustrations, unless your child is a little Buddha, this is really a book for an adult’s inner child. The charm and quirky humor of McDonnell’s cartoons marries perfectly with the deep peace and serenity of Tolle’s words, lifting the combination to a new plane and calling you into the moment like an irresistable siren song. It is the perfect book for the bedside, coffee table or “Throne Room,” and would make a wonderfully subversive gift for Type A personalities. Was this review helpful to you?

Spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle and “Mutt” cartoonist Patrick McDonnell have teamed up to give us a fun visual romp through the concepts in the book “The Power of Now.” If you have read any of Tolle’s works, you know he is an animal lover and that he has a dog. After Patrick McDonnell read “The Power of Now,” he approached Tolle about working together on a project and “Guardiansof Being” is the result. The artwork is simple and teamed up with words such as “When you pet a dog or listen to a cat purring, thinking may subside for a moment and a space of stillness arises within you, a doorway into being.” This is a wonderful way to dip into the concepts during the day, visiting them briefly, and allowing them to flow through you into whatever you have in front of you at the moment. Many of us have companion animals and will appreciate the highlighting of the part they can play in the process of our enlightenment. Although we might already be aware of this, “Guardians of Being” helps us touch it in a new and profound way. You might want to put this on your holiday shopping list for the animal lovers in your life. |
