About the Actor

Eckhart Tolle Spiritual Teacher and Author 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 #1 New York Times bestseller The Power of Now (translated into 33 languages) and the highly acclaimed follow-up A New Earth, which are widely regarded as two of the most influential spiritual books of our time. Eckhart s profound yet simple teachings have already 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. Eckhart is a sought-after public speaker and teaches and travels extensively throughout the world. Many of his talks, intensives and retreats are published on CD and DVD. Most of the teachings are given in English, but occasionally Eckhart also gives talks in German and Spanish. In addition to The Power of Now and A New Earth, Eckhart has written a book designed for meditative reading entitled Stillness Speaks. A book consisting of selections from The Power of Now is also available, entitled Practicing the Power of Now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peace is possible, November 4, 2006

This review is from: What is Meditation? (DVD) (DVD)

I'll admit, I'm an Eckhart Tolle fan - everything he says rings true to me, and I enjoy listening to him express his ideas in as many different ways as possible. This DVD has low production values (just a one-shot camera) so its a bit surprising that they didn't just release it as audio-only, and Eckhart is a visually eccentric guy to say the least, but the power of his words comes through. We can all achieve peace if we want to. (Sad, I guess, that so much of humanity simply does not want to.)

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor sound quality!, February 15, 2007

I love Tolle and was looking forward to this but am very disappointed in the sound quality.
This should never have been put on the market. A waste of money.
I recommend very highly Tolle's 2 disc DVD "The Flowering of Human Consciousness" if you can find a version playable on American DVD players. That one is definitely 5 Star in every way!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful DVD!, April 7, 2008

By 

Jolisc (fountain hills, arizona United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What is Meditation? (DVD) (DVD)

I thought this was going to be a DVD on how to meditate. It is not. It is a wonderful talk given by Eckhart Tolle summarizing many of the ideas he writes about in his books The Power of Now, and A New Earth. The single camera didn't bother me at all. The talk was humorous, inspiring, and enlightening. If you liked Eckhart's books, or his online conversations with Oprah, you'll absolutely LOVE this!
