You picked a relevant part above to highlight because he's actually talking about 'Before ' his realizations. not after
"So it took a few years before I readily realized, “This is not where I am meant to be.” I almost touched on unhappiness again at that point. I had to bring myself back to the present moment. It was like the mind tugging on my sleeve and saying, “Come this way towards unhappiness.” And I had to say, “No, I’m not going there.”
The Awakening of Eckhart Tolle
You only Quoted part of what he said and missed out the important ' Before I readily realized '
