ECKHART TOLLE: AWAKENING IN THE NOW examines the phenomenon surrounding Tolle by presenting excerpts from one of his rare public lectures — this one from Los Angeles in 2007 — and interview segments with Dr. Betty Sue Flowers, director of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum, who interprets the Tolle phenomenon from both a personal and a cultural perspective.

In the Los Angeles lecture, Tolle focuses on his concepts of the “now”, the role of the ego-ic mind — a key mantra to use in everyday situations — and other major themes of his continuing work.

Flowers calls him “a world teacher… he not only teaches to the world, but he teaches from the world of all the spiritual traditions.”
