Eckhart 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.
A refresher course in the key elements of Eckhart Tolle's ideas that he expressed in the Power of Now about ending fruitless mental chatter to achieve a peaceful sense of being. The lessons and interviews contain a lot to digest. My understanding of Tolle's ideas changes over time and is so fleeting I must return to mull over them again. Simply being is no small task. Practice makes better. I do appreciate the guidance.
Audible suggested me Eckhart Tolle's audio collection after I've listened to Alan Watts. Indeed the two thinkers are somehow similar, mainly due to both got their inspiration from Hinduism and Buddhism. Alan resonates more with me, however, Eckhart is also the most interesting to listen to.
“I have lived with several Zen masters -- all of them cats.”
It could be argued that many of the topics are covered better in Eckhart Tolle's other works, but it was an interesting listen especially the last session where he talks about how to mentally process seemingly cataclysmic events (in this case 9/11) and situations that arise when our painbody collides with another person's painbody.
I love Eckhart Tolle but gave this a low rating because it pales in comparison to The Power of Now. Listen to or read that instead. Some good questions and answers once you have finished The Power of Now but adds so little to it I can’t recommend this collection.
While Tolle's wisdom is obvious, and actually hearing his voice say things is a treat (I guess), I actually think it is more effective to read on paper, in your own voice, than to listen to it, waiting for the audience the finish laughing at his various jokes and feeling stupid because I am not smart enough to "get" them.
