Are you familiar with Eckhart Tolle? If so, then no introduction needed. But if not, here he is in a nutshell: German-born spiritual leader, author of The Power of Now, an odd little man at first acquaintance.

But ahhh, don’t tune him out too quickly. I had the pleasure of attending one of his retreats in September and grew to appreciate his quiet, yet deeply bold presence, his quirky sense of humor, and most especially his immense wisdom.

I thought Tolle would be a great addition to my body image series, especially through the holidays when we can get tripped up on stuff that seems to challenge the holiday spirit.
