Hard on Twitter. You can read DeMello, J Krishnamurti, Jed McKenna, Michael Singer, Rupert Spira, Osho, Tolle, etc.. Different ones appeal to different people.

This book is essentially about understanding why presence matters so deeply—it's written as a dialogue with examples from Eckhart Tolle's own experiences and his students' journeys. I'd definitely grab the Audible version since his voice really enhances the meditative quality and the concepts land better when heard.
