Eckhart Tolle is pretty much repackaging meditation practises with a huge dose of new age nonsense. As such, there are certainly the odd kernel of useful stuff in there, but I'd recommend a decent introduction to meditation over Tolle any day.

Tolle’s work and meditative practice are not mutually exclusive nor in conflict with one another. His characterization of the human mind—how we create (mostly unintentionally, through conditioned habits) so much suffering and problems for ourselves—is spot on and very helpful for gaining an understanding of ourselves, imo.
I've not read any books of his, though I've yet to see in video him say anything that was non-sensical. What are you referring to?
Uh, The Power of Now starts off with something about quantum entanglement "proving" that we're all one with each other.
