This may not be entertainment, but it is a weekend pick, since his sessions are rela
xing to many. Eckart Tolle makes his way to the Bayou City this weekend. Tolle is the best-selling author of The Power of Now and A New Earth that are widely regarded as the most transformational books of our time, selling over 8 million copies.
This spiritual writer and leader to some is worth some 15-million dollars according to sources on the worldwide web. He made most of his money through personal appearences and his books. He is a spiritual guru to many celebrities.
When in June 2007 Paris Hilton walked into the Century Regional Detention Facility in California, where she served a short sentence for a driving offense, she was clutching one copy of the Bible – and one copy of The Power of Now; the former X-Files actress Gillian Anderson chose The Power of Now as her other book (apart from the Bible) on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs 
and Jeff Goldblum, the actor and fully paid-up member of LA spiritualistic nonsense, is a fan. "I think he's truly exceptional," says Annie Lennox, another devotee, who also chose The Power of Now as her Desert Island Book. "But in saying that it's almost like I'm putting some kind of label on him, which could be misleading. Perhaps what I should say is that there are many people claiming to be teachers, coaches, guides and gurus, but he has some kind of special quality that I've never encountered before."
