How does Tolle respond to criticism of his work, and what does he imply about his critics? Does his response indicate that he follows his own teachings?

Tolle contrasts the thinking mind, or ego, with the true self. According to Tolle, how can people distinguish between these parts of ourselves? Why does it matter that they do so?

Some psychologists support Tolle’s ideas, although his recommendations at times conflict with the approach of modern psychotherapy. Explain, with references to the text, how his approach meshes with and contradicts current approaches to therapy.
