In 1977, at the age of 29, after a phase of severe depression, Tolle had an intense inner transformation. He experienced a deep spiritual awakening, which instilled a sense of peace and bliss in him. From a depressed person with suicidal tendencies, Tolle became a spiritually enlightened person. Eckhart is a German-born spiritual teacher and self-help author who resides in Canada. He is best known as the author of The Power of Now and A New Earth.

I read Tolle in highschool or just after. It was during an existential phase where I was looking for God(s). Not bad. But maybe not for me. A good stepping stone. Works for lots of folk though.
