Teachers

I highly recommend the teachers shown below and have included links to some of their talks on the video page.  Their guidance played a pivotal role in my development and I will be forever grateful for their lessons.

New Age
Eckhart Tolle 
Eckhart’s books were a turning point for me and are a great introduction to this topic.  "A New Earth" and "The Power of Now" are my favorites.  I can’t recommend them highly enough!
 
Buddhist
Ajahn Jayasaro
My favorite contemporary Buddhist teacher.  His talks on happiness are outstanding!
 
Ajahn Brahm
He has a tremendous amount of video talks online.  I found his talks on depression particularly helpful.
 
Ajahn Chah
Regarded as fully enlightened and was the teacher for many of the Buddhist teachers I have listed here.  After watching my first video of Ajahn Chah I had my biggest insight the following morning.

He has excellent talks on overcoming anxiety
