Oprah and Eckhart are at a Starbucks café with an audience of readers who explain how Eckhart’s wisdom and teachings from his groundbreaking book, “A New Earth,” have transformed their lives. As readers enjoy a classic Starbucks Cortado, they discuss topics ranging from staying present at work, to mourning the loss of a loved one, to managing addiction and how parents can help their teenagers stay present in the age of smart phones and social media. Oprah asks Eckhart about his thoughts on the future of the human race during these uncertain and often chaotic times. While Eckhart says we are moving into a period of “turbulence” he offers advice on how you can move through life with a greater sense of awareness and presence instead of living in a state of anxiety and fear.
