Is there anyone who is reliable to you.. you must be the most genuine person on Earth. I think you should start your own teaching.

Izhak Shamil says:

Dr Todd. you are the only genuine person on Earth. All others are frauds. u have an immense Ego.

Larry Primeau says:

I've noticed his followers appear very confused and it appeared grasping for straws.

Uzra Afira says:

"he suggested that there are no mistakes in the universe, this establishes that he has never seen the Godfather part 3" at 4:36
He's got to be the best non-British deadpan comedian ever.

deeptreble says:

I totally agree with this guy, and I find some of his comments hilarious. Something about Tolle has always activated my bs meter. This doctor pretty much nailed it for me.

If you have found greater happiness as a result of reading Tolle's books, go with that. But you might want to consider the possibility that you were the one who gleaned wisdom from living your life and reading any number of books. Maybe something in his books resonated for you. I would suggest that truth was within you already.

Shane says:

So he still has the “I” without the “self”? Ok.

Hammerbet says:

Thanks for the video.
I don't think that paying 2000 dollars for Tolle's retreat is a good idea but his first book is quite useful and he has some interesting videos on his Youtube channel.

cult leader

Navaluk Thrasher says:

Sidartha Guatama meditated under the Bodhi Tree…. hmmm? seek out a tree? Higher state of mind?,.. Nirvana?

Navaluk Thrasher says:

Much of his philosophy is borrowed from Mahayana Buddhism.

Sue cat mom says:

You can't go wrong when you go to a psychic, or sit on a bench, do nothing, great start. 😅
Too much of nothing

Gabriel Padilla says:

CMON DR RANDE, SOPHIA COPOLA WASNT THAT BAD WAS SHE?

Aaron Blaakman says:

The different energy fields between Dr. Grande and Eckhardt speak for themselves.

Massage Guru says:

Baloney cannon. Fake fraud. How I know? When Facebook started 2009 we were all putting too much up and out. This man stole my writings, posted like they were his.

Marcun Doran says:

It's not a lot of talking without meaning, he really has important things to say that really do relieve suffering

Music Notes says:

Excellent analysis, Dr. Grande. And what about his use of the "ego" construct"?

Jacob Hope says:

His name reminds me of the Mothman's alter ego.

Linda Ross says:

Eckert Tolle us a wonderful man who has also changed my life when I was stuck. A person has to have an ability to be still and listen to what he is saying. He is about peace.

Olivier Lehaen says:

Clearly You dont get it.

Anya Saeed says:

Tolle just rehashes old concepts to get notoriety. Nothing new.

my name yeff says:

I appreciate these videos but please take out the attempts at satire. I appreciate more of the serious tone as people are relying on you to make better judgement in the self help industry.

Alice says:

Thank you for this analysis- such a relief to find such a well articulated review of ekharts work that aligns with my feelings about it.
When I was going through a very rough time in my life about 6 years ago, the person causing me a lot of grief at the time, whose abusive actions caused me a lot of suffering, told me that my perception of his actions didn't matter, my suffering wasn't 'real', and told me that this book would explain everything.
I eventually told him to use the pages of the book to clean up his mess after he goes and f*cks himself, as at least that would be a genuinely practical use for the book…
The directions to the store analogy was golden btw.

Patti Spady says:

Tolle is full of it. Needs to volunteer in Hastings and get real. Thank you for this.

Vylon Ygo says:

True, godfather III was an utter mistake!

Christa Kurzweil says:

Totally agree with you.
I find him somehow eerie. I’m German and hadn’t heard of him until a friend in the US mentioned him and told me he is quite popular in North America. So I googled him and watched some videos. I honestly can’t understand why people fall for him.

EXPE says:

wow thanks that just explains why I couldn't find anything worth listening to his ideas

jidablog says:

I find tolle rather shallow and generic
