Some of you may be interested in the work and teachings of Eckhart Tolle. I've started this thread to archive some of his lectures and to encourage any discussion that may come as a result.

Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle (German pronunciation: [ˈɛk.haʁt ˈtɔlə]; born 1948) is a German-born Canadian counselor and spiritual teacher, widely known as the author of the The Power of Now and A New Earth, which were written in English. In 2011, he was listed by the Watkins Review as the most spiritually influential person in the world.[1] In 2008, a New York Times writer called Tolle "the most popular spiritual author in the [United States]".[2]



Tolle says he was depressed for much of his life until he underwent, at age 29, an "inner transformation", then spent several years wandering and unemployed "in a state of deep bliss" before becoming a spiritual teacher. Later, he moved to North America where he began writing his first book, The Power of Now, which was published in 1997,[3] and reached the New York Times Best Seller lists in 2000.[4] Tolle settled in Vancouver, Canada, where he has now lived for over 10 years.......
