Eckhart Tolle, born in Germany and later educated in England at both the University of London and Cambridge University, is widely acclaimed as the author of "The Power of Now." His life's journey is a testament to the transformative power of inner awakening.

Tolle's early years were marked by a profound struggle with misery, anxiety, and even suicidal depression. These dark clouds cast long shadows over his life, but it was at the age of 29 that the course of his existence took a dramatic and mystical turn. In that pivotal moment, he experienced an otherworldly revelation that bestowed upon him a deep and abiding sense of inner peace.
