Conscious Evolution: How to Embrace Our Challenges and Opportunities in a New Era for Humanity
Discover how the personal challenges and global perils we face serve as catalysts for the realization of a deeper intelligence that holds the key to our future.
We are all witnessing―and participating in―an evolutionary story. And we will all determine how the plot unfolds. This is the premise of Conscious Evolution , an impassioned and inspiring audio program with Eckhart Tolle. “The world always moves between order and chaos,” he explains. “And in the present time, anybody who is not awakening spiritually, even to some extent, will be drawn into deeper unconsciousness.” Now, he shares four sessions of practical insights and teachings to help you become a “bringer of consciousness” in this precarious era. Conscious Evolution
Session 1
• True acceptance vs putting a positive spin on situations
• Becoming aligned with the “isness” of the moment
• The “horizontal dimension” of doing and the “vertical dimension” of Being
• Affirmations, vision boards, and other tools of manifestation
Session 2
• The relationship between challenges and awakening
• Moving from a sense of lack to satisfaction and fulfillment
• Why “the point of power” is always in the present moment
• Expanding your sense of self beyond your knowledge or accomplishments
Session 3
• How spiritual practice is meant to take you beyond spiritual practice
• Taking responsibility for your life in the here and now
• Practicing inner-body awareness to avoid getting swept up in opinions and “othering”
• Our awakening to who we are beyond the egoic self
Session 4
• Trauma on the personal and collective levels
• Transmuting anger and resentment
• The ego’s need for enemies
• Empathy and compassion
“The awareness that is arising now can lead to a very positive change,” Tolle tells us, “when an increasing number of people transcend their suffering by discovering the power that lies within. This is the promise and possibility of the present age.” Here is your invitation to join in this discovery, with Conscious Evolution .

About the author
Eckhart Tolle
270 books10.8k followersEckhart Tolle is a German-born spiritual teacher and internationally bestselling author whose work has profoundly influenced the contemporary spiritual landscape. Born Ulrich Leonard Tölle in 1948 in Lünen, Germany, he experienced a transformative spiritual awakening at the age of 29 after years of depression and anxiety. This profound shift in consciousness marked the beginning of his journey as a spiritual guide and thinker. Tolle abandoned his doctoral studies at the University of Cambridge to explore and embody the stillness and presence he had discovered, eventually becoming a spiritual teacher based in London and later in Vancouver, Canada.
Tolle rose to prominence with the publication of The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment in 1997. The book, which emphasizes mindfulness and present-moment awareness, resonated with a global audience and was later championed by Oprah Winfrey, catapulting it to international bestseller status. In 2005, Tolle released A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, which expanded on his earlier teachings and explored the role of ego in personal and societal dysfunction. The book also achieved massive commercial success, further solidifying Tolle’s reputation as one of the most influential spiritual authors of his time.
His teachings draw from a variety of traditions, including Zen Buddhism, Christian mysticism, Sufism, and Hindu philosophy, though he remains unaffiliated with any formal religion. Tolle emphasizes a non-dualistic approach to spirituality, focusing on the importance of presence, inner stillness, and the disidentification from ego-based thinking. His accessible language and calm demeanor have helped millions integrate spiritual practice into daily life.
In addition to writing, Tolle has delivered talks, retreats, and webinars to audiences around the world. In 2008, he partnered with Oprah Winfrey to produce a groundbreaking webinar series based on A New Earth, attracting millions of viewers. He also co-authored the illustrated book Guardians of Being in 2009, further exploring his core themes through the lens of animals and nature.
Tolle currently lives in Vancouver with his partner, spiritual teacher Kim Eng. Together, they continue to teach and support global audiences through online content, publications, and events. Widely regarded as one of the most spiritually influential figures of the 21st century, Tolle’s message of inner peace and awakening remains as timely as ever.

ET is, as he, himself says, the window through which consciousness shines. He directs me to the Source whenever I hear him speak.

If you’re familiar with Elkhart Tolle, this audiobook may not seem like anything new. But even if you already practice these beliefs, it’s so good to hear it repeated by this lovely, humble man.
I listened to it in a long plane ride to NYC. It’s perfect for giving me a refreshed outlook and deeper sense of joy. I am grateful for discovering him and other similar practitioners of mindfulness years ago because I can see how these practices have brought me so much peace in recent years.
I highly recommend all his books.

I can’t give it 5 stars because that would take away from the other 5 star books of his but Eckhart’s books always calm my mind and anxieties. I need to reread all of his other books again.
