About the Author

Eckhart Tolle is widely recognized as one of the most original and inspiring spiritual teachers of our time. He travels and teaches throughout the world. Eckhart is not aligned with any particular religion or tradition, but excludes none. His profound yet simple and practical teachings have helped thousands of people find inner peace, healing and greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of his teachings lies the transformation of individual and collective human consciousness - a global spiritual awakening. Eckhart was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of twenty-nine, a profound spiritual transformation virtually dissolved his old identity and radically changed the course of his life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating and deepening that transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey. Later, he began to work with individuals and groups as a counselor and spiritual teacher. Eckhart Tolle is the author of The Power of Now, a #1 New York Times Bestseller, which has been translated into 32 languages and become one of the most influential spiritual books of our time. In his most recent book, A New Earth, he shows how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world.

More About the Author

Spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At the age of twenty-nine a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of his life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey. Later, he began to work in London with individuals and small groups as a counselor and spiritual teacher. Since 1995 he has lived in Vancouver, Canada.

Eckhart Tolle is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Power of Now (translated into 33 languages) and A New Earth, which are widely regarded as two of the most influential spiritual books of our time. In 2008, A New Earth became the first spiritual book to be selected for Oprah's Book Club as well as the subject of a ten-week online workshop co-taught by Eckhart and Oprah.

Eckhart's profound yet simple teachings have helped countless people throughout the world find inner peace and greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of the teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human evolution. An essential aspect of this awakening consists in transcending our ego-based state of consciousness. This is a prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for the ending of violent conflict endemic on our planet.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like Tolle, you'll like this., September 8, 2008

This review is from: Bringing Stillness into Everyday Life (DVD) (DVD-ROM)

Eckhart starts off by saying, "This will not be interesting". He means that, and he's a genuinely humble man - but he's wrong. I'm always fearful of introducing someone to the work of Tolle - it can be a shock to some people. I think this DVD is not too shocking, however. He eases you into his philosophies and gets a little excited only after the halfway point.

Even though I am quite familiar with Tolle, I was captivated by this DVD. Letting yourself ease into a calmer state of being or way of life is not easy for most people and it really helps to read or hear Eckhart's words, again and again, in order to see how his ideas can work in your life and to overcome some of the objections that a skeptical person (like me) might have at first.

If I were to try to give a synopsis of Eckhart's ways, I would only chase people away with my inadequacy at describing them. Get this DVD or read "A New Earth" and watch a little, read a little, and give yourself time to absorb and process. Don't trust what someone else says - see for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Cannot Imagine Anyone Walking Out...., November 29, 2008

This review is from: Bringing Stillness into Everyday Life (CD) (Audio CD)

When Eckhart Tolle begins this lecture he repeatedly, in his inimitable manner, warns the participants that they might be so bored they will get up and walk out. I cannot imagine anyone NOT being captivated and mesmerized by his teachings. IN this one, he seems very direct and tells people how he feels about the direct humanity is headed and other personal observations.

Another wonderful addition to those who enjoy and appreciate this true Spiritual Master's work.

Plus, I adore his sense of humor, that funny little laugh when he cracks one of those teeny little Eckhart jokes makes me laugh out loud...really!

It's a great disappointment to buy a cd book only to find it does not work in your computer. The marketing protocols should carefully advise the buyer on such matters, somehow, someway, somewhere; perhaps an on-line test feed to check compatibility before you spend to money? Come-on guys you can do better. [...]
