Eckhart Tolle is widely recognized as one of the most inspiring and visionary spiritual teachers in the world today. With his international bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth--translated into 52 languages--he has introduced millions to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. His teachings focus on the significance and power of Presence, the awakened state of consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking. Eckhart sees this awakening as the essential next step in human evolution. The New York Times has described him as "the most popular spiritual author in the United States," and in 2011, Watkins Review named him "the most spiritually influential person in the world."

"A gentle journey, one that could take you to a spectacular and very special place of new awareness and deeper understanding." --Neale Donald Walsh, author of Conversations with God

"One of the best books to come along in years. Every sentence rings with truth and power--the power to bring you into the gap, the space between our thoughts, where we find, as Eckhart so beautifully puts it, deep serenity, stillness, and a sacred Presence." --Deepak Chopra, author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success
