    About this ebook

    For the first time ever, bestselling author Eckhart Tolle brings the core of his teachings to children, ages 7 to 100. Beautifully illustrated and artfully expressed, this charming story will bring joy to children and their parents for decades to come.

    Milton, who is about eight years old, is experiencing bullying on the school playground at the hands of a boy named Carter.

    Because he is being picked on, Milton no longer enjoys going to school. In fact, he dreads each morning because of his fear of Carter.

    By discovering the difference between Then, When, and the Now, Milton is able to shed his fear of being bullied. Living in the Now, he no longer dreads encountering Carter--and this changes everything.

    Milton's Secret will not only appeal to the millions of adult readers of Tolle's other books, but also to any parent who wants to introduce their children to the core of Tolle's teachings: Living in the Now is the quickest path to ending fear and suffering.

    Author

    Eckhart Tolle

    Spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of twenty-nine a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of his life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey. Later, he began to work in London with individuals and small groups as a counselor and spiritual teacher. Since 1995 he has lived in Vancouver, Canada. Eckhart Tolle is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Power of Now (translated into 33 languages) and A New Earth, which are widely regarded as two of the most influential spiritual books of our time. In 2008, A New Earth became the first spiritual book to be selected for Oprah's Book Club as well as the subject of a ten-week online workshop co-taught by Eckhart and Oprah.

      It was ok - I much prefer the movie with Donald Sutherland as the grandfather. This is one case in my humble opinion that the film was far better than the book.

      Milton's Secretby Eckhart Tolle & Robert S. FriedmanIllustrated by Frank Riccio The concept of the power of Now has helped so many people that it filled my heart with joy that it has now been brought to our children through this imaginative and fairly typical story of the school bully and how to transcend the fear and live in the joy of the moment. I loved the way the story just flowed and shared with us so many spiritual elements and gave much needed direction on how to use the light in our own lives. I have always been mesmerized by Frank Ricco's illustrations and this time was no different, they had that wonderful quality of drawing me right in and filling me with understanding. I would recommend this precious guide to anyone, but especially to younger mind just starting to learn about the benefits of living in the Now. Thanks all of you for showing us all how to live in the light. Love & Light, Riki Frahmann

      Great story and VERY BEAUTIFUL illustrations! I’m a big fan of Mr. Tolle
    • 5/5
      Digestible, poignant, and accessible for young readers. Having read the power of now, I was curious how the essence of that book would be digested and presented at an adolescent level. I think it was beautifully done, and I love the addition of the zen cat.
    • 5/5
      Doesn’t make unrealistic promises. A beautiful introduction for helping find your own “light” within.
    • 5/5
      Nice book. But what to do when your teachers, parents and grandparents are also depressed? Who counsels adults?
    • 5/5
      Excelentes conceptos para los menores que estén listos para el Ahora.
