Guardians of Being: Spiritual Teachings from our Dogs and Cats

A lovely, contemplative book that I would recommend to anyone who loves animals. McDonnell's art work is simple and charming but deeply meaningful and perfectly complements Tolle's words of wisdom.

This wonderfully unique collaboration brings two masters of their fields. joining original words by spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle with delightful illustrations by Patrick McDonnell. the creator ot the acclaimed comic strip MUTTS. Every heartwarming page provokes thought. insight. and smiling reverence tot all beings and each moment. More than a collection of witty and charming drawings, the marriage of Patrick McDonnell's art and Eckhart Tolle's words conveys a profound love of nature, of animals, of humans, of all life-forms. Guardians of Being celebrates and reminds us of not only the oneness of all life but also the wonder and joy to be found in the present moment, amid the beauty we sometimes forget to notice all around us.

A lovely, deep book. Written by spiritual thinker Eckhart Tolle and illustrated with some great cartoon-type visuals, it really flowed. It is how animals help us maintain our sanity and hopefully teach us some ways to just "be." Enjoy it!

Ordinarily I find Eckhart Tolle a bit over the top, but combined with Patrick McDonnell's sweet illustrations, this book won me over. It's a wonderful book for anyone who believes in the peace and joy that pets can bring into our lives.

beautifully done ! soothing... inspiring...

leave it to Eckhart to be able to get you into "The Power of NOW"

I bought this book for my 82 year old mother. She's a dog lover and a worrier so I thought this would be an interesting new approach to the concept of appreciating the now. I enjoyed it, too.

I love dogs and this book perfectly captures why?
