A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61)

By Eckhart Tolle
The highly anticipated follow-up to the 2,000,000 copy bestselling inspirational book, The Power of Now

With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived "in the now." In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence.

The Power of Now was a question-and-answer handbook. A New Earth has been written as a traditional narrative, offering anecdotes and philosophies in a way that is accessible to all. Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, A New Earth is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life—and for building a better world.

A Profound and Thought-Provoking Offering4
Focusing on the moment is a concept that many of us caught up in the hustle-bustle of life often need to be reminded of. Written from the perspective of a Buddhist philosopher, Tolle reminds us that the unhappiness and negativity in the world can be transformed through the simplicity of the inner transformational journey called meditation. A profound and thought-provoking offering.

Food for Thought5
I believe that there is something in this book for everyone because it touches on a variety of topics that people encounter on a daily basis. I recommend the book because it came to me at the right time in my life and I was able to gain valuable knowledge. In fact, whenever I'm talking to family or friends and they mention a particular problem or annoyance, I always seem to reflect on various references in the book that can help them to look at their problems differently.

You may not agree with everything you read, but having the ability to take what you need and leave the rest is what makes readers have unique learning experiences. I took that approach and got what I needed from this book and I think you can too.

The most pleasurable aspect about this book was having the opportunity to hear the author's explanations and clarifications through the ten week program hosted online by Oprah Winfrey. The easiest way I found to access these recordings is by installing iTunes on my computer and searching for [...] spiritual channel.

Great read5
FINALLY! a book my wife and I can both enjoy. We've also been able to resolve a few of our other differences as well after reading this book.
