Why I like Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle is easily one of the most influential teachers of our time. The concept of 'Now' has been around for millions of years. Zen Buddhism and Hinduism have had roots in focussing on the present, but it took an Eckhart Tolle to make the concept of the 'Now' an accessible and easily understood idea. After my thinking was revolutionized by his words such as, (paraphrasing),"Now is all you will ever have. The past was a Now at one point, the future will be a 'now' going forward, but life is always in the now" and that 'A Happy life is just a series of happy moments'. The book, 'Stillness Speaks' moved me in a way very difficult to articulate. Other good reads are 'Practicing the Power of Now' and 'A New Earth'. I think any teaching is only as good as how comprehensible the teacher is. In that respect, kudos to Eckhart Tolle for delivering the spiritual material of the century.
