About the author

Eckhart Tolle is a German-born spiritual teacher and internationally bestselling author whose work has profoundly influenced the contemporary spiritual landscape. Born Ulrich Leonard Tölle in 1948 in Lünen, Germany, he experienced a transformative spiritual awakening at the age of 29 after years of depression and anxiety. This profound shift in consciousness marked the beginning of his journey as a spiritual guide and thinker. Tolle abandoned his doctoral studies at the University of Cambridge to explore and embody the stillness and presence he had discovered, eventually becoming a spiritual teacher based in London and later in Vancouver, Canada.
Tolle rose to prominence with the publication of The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment in 1997. The book, which emphasizes mindfulness and present-moment awareness, resonated with a global audience and was later championed by Oprah Winfrey, catapulting it to international bestseller status. In 2005, Tolle released A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, which expanded on his earlier teachings and explored the role of ego in personal and societal dysfunction. The book also achieved massive commercial success, further solidifying Tolle’s reputation as one of the most influential spiritual authors of his time.
His teachings draw from a variety of traditions, including Zen Buddhism, Christian mysticism, Sufism, and Hindu philosophy, though he remains unaffiliated with any formal religion. Tolle emphasizes a non-dualistic approach to spirituality, focusing on the importance of presence, inner stillness, and the disidentification from ego-based thinking. His accessible language and calm demeanor have helped millions integrate spiritual practice into daily life.
In addition to writing, Tolle has delivered talks, retreats, and webinars to audiences around the world. In 2008, he partnered with Oprah Winfrey to produce a groundbreaking webinar series based on A New Earth, attracting millions of viewers. He also co-authored the illustrated book Guardians of Being in 2009, further exploring his core themes through the lens of animals and nature.
Tolle currently lives in Vancouver with his partner, spiritual teacher Kim Eng. Together, they continue to teach and support global audiences through online content, publications, and events. Widely regarded as one of the most spiritually influential figures of the 21st century, Tolle’s message of inner peace and awakening remains as timely as ever.

Reviews

[Sofía Flores Fuentes]

I had a boyfriend who said there’s no rubbish literature. So I broke up with him. Then read (not even half) this book and confirmed why I broke up with him. This book is rubbish literature.

[Jessica Farfan Martinez]

Aborda comportamientos cotidianos de los que no somos conscientes, y al reflexionarlos podemos bajar nuestras cargas de stress. Lectura sencilla, fluida y de fácil comprensión

[Alan Gresati]

Se dice fácil pero vivir en el presente representa desprenderte del pasado, solo acudiendo a este en momentos de necesidad. Por lo tanto cualquier experiencia negativa o trauma no te afectará entregándote al ahora. Nuestra felicidades debe depender del mundo interior ya que son realidades intransmutables a diferencia del mundo exterior que son ilusiones transmutables e inestables. Por más dificultades que puedas estar experimentando estando en el ahora puedes lograr adquirir paz interior. Tampoco debemos de preocuparnos por el futuro ya que las decisiones más importantes están en el ahora, en el mundo no modificable. Gran libro de 5 estrellas muy pragmático e interesante.

Un libro que hay que leer y releer

[Hani]

Es muy interesante el punto de vista y la premisa del Ahora que expone. Pero a veces la manera de escribir con preguntas y respueatas es monótona. Lo que sí, da pautas para reflexionar sobre las actitudes propias y estoy de acuerdo con todo lo que expone.
