Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany and spent the first 13 years of his life there. After graduating from the University of London, he worked in research and supervision at the University of Cambridge. At the age of 29, a profound spiritual experience led to a fundamental change in his life. He spent the following years deepening and integrating this experience. Tolle became known as a spiritual teacher and bestselling author. He does not belong to a specific religion or tradition; spiritual awakening and the transformation of consciousness are central themes of his work.
