kindergarten philosophy
Tolle's books are a collection of vague clichés and ambiguous platitudes; a combination of kindergarten philosophy and New Age mysticism. There are millions of books available, written by so-called enlightened individuals who all churn out the same stuff. Does this prove there must be something to them? Not at all. Billions of fast food joints doesn't prove that fast food has much nutritional value for the body. Similarly, thousands of self-described enlightened writers putting out books like these doesn't prove that fast-food spirituality has much nutritional value for the spirit. Eckhart Tolle admits that his enlightenment came spontaneously. Clearly he didn't need a book like his to become enlightened. Why should anyone else? I'm just going to wait until I become spontaneously enlightened too.
