Eckart Tolle - one of the most famous spiritual teachers and self-help author, writer of spiritual literature. His distinctive feature is that he don't give preference to any religion, but uses some aspects of many of them. In his books there are explanations of Jesus or Buddha's speech. His approach is to respect every teaching and pay attention to the pozitive motivations of any religion.
Eckhart graduated from London University and went to Cambrige to continue studying psychology and philosophy. But he falled into depression and after some years at the age of 27 he unexpectedly got mind transformation (as he says it was an enlightenment) and since that moment he is helping people to improve self awareness and stop destructive behavior.
His first step to do it was starting to work as psychologist-consultant. Then he writes his first book "The Power of Now" and it becomes a bestseller. After that Eckhart becomes worldwide popular.
Tolle's second book - A New Earth became a bestseller too. These two books have the same noticable structure: each of them is trying to pay reader's attention to the habitual mechanisms of conscious mind. And then to convince that some of these thinking patterns may cause such problems as negative emotions and unhappiness.
Now Tolle is living in Canada and posting videos on his Youtube channel.
