Books by Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle was born Ulrich Leonard Tölle in Germany in 1948 and underwent what he describes as a spontaneous spiritual awakening at age 29 while in the depths of depression. He took his first name from the medieval mystic Meister Eckhart. The Power of Now (1997) and A New Earth (2005) made him one of the most widely read spiritual authors in the world. He lives in Vancouver, Canada. His teaching draws on Christian mysticism, Buddhism, Zen, and Advaita Vedanta without formal affiliation to any tradition. A New Earth reached a new audience when Oprah Winfrey selected it for her book club in 2008 and taught it in a webcast series watched by millions.
