Due tra le personalità di maggior peso spirituale del nostro tempo portano avanti un profondo dialogo di respiro globale su argomenti che vanno dagli antichi testi filosofici alla moderna cultura pop, affrontando in maniera illuminante questioni di primaria importanza quali "Chi sono io?" o "Qual è il significato della vita?". Lo fanno con un atteggiamento aperto, amorevole, a tratti con umorismo e una sottile vena ironica. "L'importanza di essere straordinari" unisce la saggezza, la consapevolezza e la conoscenza di due imponenti figure nel panorama della crescita personale e dello sviluppo spirituale, offrendo al pubblico strumenti in grado di ispirare e risvegliare. In tutta la loro ricchezza e illuminazione, i dialoghi di Wayne Dyer ed Eckhart Tolle sono anche molto pratici e gli insegnamenti possono essere facilmente applicati da chiunque nella vita quotidiana, per trasformare il mondo nella sua totalità. "Quando creiamo un mondo di persone straordinarie che vanno oltre ciò per cui sono state programmate, esercitiamo un impatto sulla coscienza dell'intero pianeta" (Wayne Dyer)
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.
Profound, educational, calming and humorous talk between two very important minds. “A return to awareness.” ..“relinquishing identification with the conditioned mind through the cultivation of awareness.”
“All spiritual advances are preceded by a fall of some kind or another' (Wayne W. Dyer).”
2 hours talk, alternating between Dyer and Eckhart, with 30 minutes of questions. Both of them give their interpretations on some passages of the bible, that was interesting, Eckhart even applied his "reincarnation of the ego into every new thought" concept on resurrection, cool stuff.
