When life does not flow as we wish, where do we find solace? On a night where anxiety and regret intersect, there is a book we quietly turn to. Eckhart Tolle's representative meditation essay 『This Too Shall Pass』 has returned to readers in a special bilingual edition to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
Wisdom Drawn from the Forests of Scotland, Surpassing 20 Years
Eckhart Tolle is a sage of our time, recognized alongside the Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hanh as one of the 'three great spiritual leaders.' 《The New York Times》 named him 'the most trusted spirituality author in America,' while 《Watkins Review》 ranked him 'the world's most influential spiritual leader.' Born in Germany and a graduate of the University of London and the University of Cambridge, he lived through severe depression and despair, attempting suicide multiple times, until one day he experienced a miraculous realization that brought joy to his life. After wandering the streets for several years, he began to share the language of awakening he had learned, transforming the lives of 35 million readers in 52 countries around the world.
『This Too Shall Pass』 is a meditation essay that unfolds the wisdom he realized during his retreat in the forests of Scotland in the most poetic and beautiful language. This book, which captures how to live as existence itself while gazing at birds, trees, flowers, wind, sea, and rivers, continues to quietly change the lives of readers worldwide even 20 years after its publication.
