In this episode, Eckhart discusses the process of writing his first book, The Power of Now. He explains that he surrendered to the idea that the book wanted to be written and had a vision that inspired him long before he put the first word on paper. Despite encountering naysayers and resistance, the book eventually became a number one New York Times bestseller and one of the most influential spiritual books of our time. Eckhart shares the concept of 'amor fati,' which he believes means loving what is rather than surrendering to something greater than ourselves, bringing enormous power and alignment with the present moment.
