Isn't he basically just a nihilist enabler?

He's just Oprah's little bitch.

don't know who this is, but he looks retarded so idc

Elaborate.

He basically had the same experience with depression as Tolstoy had, but this is where their philosophies (in Tolle's case he's more of a guru) diverge.
This is Tolle:
>The most loathsome thing of all,
however, was my own existence. What
was the point in continuing to live
with this burden of misery? Why carry on with this continuous struggle? I could feel that a deep
longing for annihilation, for non-existence, was now becoming much
stronger than the instinctive desire
to continue to live.
This is Tolstoy:
>The thought of suicide came to me as naturally then as the thought of improving life had come to me before. This thought was such a temptation that I had to use cunning against myself in order not to go through with it too hastily. I did not want to be in a hurry only because I wanted to use all my strength to untangle my thoughts. If I could not get them untangled, I told myself, I could always go ahead with it. And there I was, a fortunate man, carrying a rope from my room, where I was alone every night as I undressed, so that I would not hang myself from the beam between the closets. And I quit going hunting with a gun, so that I would not be too easily tempted to rid myself of life. I myself did not know what I wanted. I was afraid of life, I struggled to get rid of it, and yet I hoped for something from it. And this was happening to me at a time when, from all indications, I should have been considered a completely happy man; this was when I was not yet fifty years old. I had a good, loving, and beloved wife, fine children, and a large estate that was growing and expanding without any effort on my part. More than ever before I was respected by friends and acquaintances, praised by strangers, and I could claim a certain renown without really deluding myself. painter needs a certain income to maintain a decent lifestyle and be able to produce art.
It just seems that in the end, Tolle wasn't depressed because he found no meaning in life, it was because the burden of consciousness and responsibility were to heavy on him, so he just refuted them, became nihilistic.

>Who tf is dis tho (had to google it)
>Eckhart Tolle
>I.e. boring bullshit New Age hack

Gtfo with that bullshit. At least if you're gonna study a bullshit religion, choose one with some philosophical, historical, and literary depth, e.g. Catholicism.

Tolle is such a brainlet. I almost puked after reading his misreading of Nietzsche.

Did you miss the part where he experienced spiritual awakening

It's kinda relevant and probably topical but only because people like Jim Carrey and Oprah (Tolle shills) are back in mainstream discourse as being moral leaders.

This dude is like Linus from Lost
