>>Rich Fernandez : Welcome. I'm Rich Fernandez from the Learning and Development Team here

at Google. So about six months ago we wrote a letter to Eckhart Tolle inviting him to

come here to Google. "Eckhart, dude, come to Google," we said.

Well, something along those lines. We make some of the world's most valued and most used

technology. We aspire to do epic stuff and to make a difference in the world. And yet

even as we create this dazzling technology, we wanna be sure to pay attention to our own

inner technology. We wanna ask ourselves the searching and far ranging questions about

how we're getting on in the world. As we optimize our technology how can we also optimize our

All of this is a lot easier said than done. We operate in a hyper-connected world always

on and we go at it with great pace and intensity. The urgent question of the day is how we can

take an intelligent approach to our work and our lives with all of the demands of our time

Amidst this flood of information how can we discern the signal from the noise in order

to access and act on what is most essential to each of us?

Eckhart Tolle takes a refreshingly contemporary approach to the question of what it means

to live a meaningful and inspired life and with great intelligence. And in so being,

how we can each experience a great sense of clarity, peace, and the joy of being alive.

So we're very lucky that Eckhart accepted our invitation and said yes to come here today.

He knows our ethos that we have a profound interest in being our best selves and doing

meaningful and inspired work. We seek to change the world for the better and he understands

that we understand that in order to transform the world we must first render the necessary

So Eckhart is here today to assist and suggest with some things for us to consider.

Eckhart Tolle has written bestselling books including The Power of Now and A New Earth

and they've sold millions of copies worldwide and have been translated into 33 languages.

He's widely regarded as one of the foremost teachers on the subject of wisdom and conscious

Joining Eckhart in conversation today is our Vice President of Product, Bradley Horowitz.

Now when we proposed to Bradley that he might engage in a dialog with Eckhart as part of

this tech talk he was really excited which makes sense because Bradley's cool like that.

Bradley also helped create Google+, Google Apps, and Google+ which we all love.

So without further ado please join me in welcoming Eckhart Tolle and Bradley Horowitz as they

discuss what it means to live with meaning, purpose, and wisdom in the digital age.

>>Bradley Horowitz: So on behalf of Google and all the many Googlers here and those tuning

in from our overflow rooms, welcome it's great to have you here. And it's very special to

have you here. I understand that you don't often visit corporations and so this has been

a journey we've taken together over the course of the day.

Eckhart had a moment to meet with some of us earlier and we found that really valuable.

And one of the things we discussed this morning was wisdom and the difference between information

and wisdom. Google has a mission to organize the world's information and I think if you

think about the hierarchy there's signal and data and information and knowledge and at

the very top of the pyramid is wisdom. And I wondered if you could comment a little bit

on what you understand to be the difference between information and wisdom.

>>Eckhart Tolle: Good question. Let's kind of set that aside for just one moment –

>>Eckhart Tolle: to say how happy I am to be here, how impressed I am by what I have

seen, and by the people who work here, and the general energy field in the company. And

if you have come, the many young people here, if you've come straight from college then

I'm sure you don't know how lucky you are until --

>>Eckhart Tolle: Perhaps everybody who works here one would, as they would say in India

"You must have very good Karma to be working here."

openness of people that's reflected in the structure of the company, the way things are

arranged, the little rooms that you have for quietness, for meditation, the cafeterias

I also experience an openness in the people who work here and far less ego because many

companies are still predominately run by very big egos. I'm not saying that everybody here's

much less so than in many other places. So it's wonderful to be here and if my book sales

I hope you will, you probably won't but --

because first of all I have no computer skills --

since the average age here is probably about 30.

Knowledge, information, and wisdom, how do they relate?

Of course with the technological revolution, information revolution, digital revolution,

whatever you call it there's an enormous amount of knowledge available to everybody. Almost

the whole of the world's knowledge and there's the interconnectedness between people and

that's all very good of course to have all that accessible to you. There's a danger though

that you get drowned in too much information and too much knowledge. And by drowned I mean

that the mind gets bombarded with an excess of input and therefore you miss something

that is essential for a human life to be truly fulfilled and that is the place of peace,

inner peace, or stillness; the place that one could describe as the source of all intelligence

that many people don't actually don't even realize exists within them.

So I'd like to just talk briefly about that, that really we're talking about the core of

what spirituality means. Spirituality is not having a particular belief structure, is not

subscribing to a particular set of thoughts. Spirituality is discovering, a dimension within
