Bullying has emerged as one of the great scourges of our time - and now there is a revolutionary way to empower your child in how to respond to it.

Milton’s Secret

An Adventure of Discovery through Then, When, and the Power of Now

ECKHART TOLLE and ROBERT S. FRIEDMAN, Illustrated by FRANK RICCO

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.

 
What a fabulous book! I really really really enjoyed the illustrations. They are so pure and beautiful. The illustrations engage both children and adults. I have to say that it is very refreshing to have a book that teachers our children to live in the “now”. I think it’s geared more for older kids just because the book is wordy and rather deep for a children’s book- but in a good way. This is a book that can grow w/you children. A great gift! It addresses bullies, fear, confusion, and love. It’s a warm, loving story.

Eckhart Tolle

World-renowned spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle conveys simple wisdom that transcends any particular religion or doctrine.

His bestselling books are modern classics in the field of personal growth and spirituality and he is widely recognized as one of the most inspiring and visionary spiritual teachers in the world today. The New York Times has described him as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States”, and the Watkins Review named him “the most spiritually influential person in the world”.

A native of Germany, Eckhart Tolle attended the University of London, and upon graduation went on to become a research scholar and supervisor at Cambridge University. At 29, a profound spiritual awakening virtually dissolved his personal identity and sparked a radical change in the course of his life. It marked the beginning of an intense inward journey and he devoted the next decade to understanding, deepening, and integrating that transformation.

With his international bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth, has introduced millions to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. His teachings focus on the significance and power of presence and finding an awakened state of consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking.

For the past twenty-two years, he has acted as a counselor and spiritual guide, facilitating sold-out groups in Europe and North America. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
