Eckhart Tolle's 1997 guide to living in the present moment — arguing that most human suffering comes from identification with compulsive thinking and that liberation comes through presence — the most commercially successful secular spirituality book.
Creates secular non-dual spirituality in accessible form — The Power of Now translates Advaita Vedanta's non-dual teachings (the ego is a false identification with thought; the present moment is the only reality) into practical exercises and dialogue format that makes Eastern enlightenment traditions accessible to Western secular readers.
No recorded contemporaries.
