just don't know about the whole Eckhart Tolle thing
It worked for HIM
Part of it makes sense. Think about who he was: a depressed person who contemplated suicide repeatedly, a guy who focused on his fears of the future and his past regrets and such. His perspective was totally skewed past-negative and present-fatalistic.
So what did HE discover that turned his life around (and it turned him into a present-day guru for millions of people)? He discovered present-holism. Budhists do that too. More importantly, he finally figured out you have to be tuned into the present a good bit of the time, or you will not have energy to deal with things like the future And spending a lot of time worrying about past regrets is just a good way to waste your life.
Budhists call what he teaches "mindfulness".
