Book Description
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.

 Way Out of Suffering & Into Peace July 24, 2008
"A New Earth" offers unique insights into suffering and the way to peace. Much of the material relates to a Buddhist perspective but the message is universal. Unlike his previous book "The Power of Now," which was focused strictly on personal transformation, this book takes a broader perspective. This book is about transforming the self and the world.
The message can be life-changing with insights on suffering, peace, beauty and social interaction. A must-read for a broad perspective on suffering and peace.
Another book that you have to read is "Nexus: A Neo Novel." "Nexus" offers an experiential story of suffering, and finding love and peace.
life-changing July 24, 2008
If this book doesn't change your outlook on life, nothing will. I bought the book and the audiobook, but if you're deciding between the two, I recommend the audiobook. It's read by the author and his warm and friendly voice, tone, and inflection really helped me absorb his powerful lessons.
A New Earth helping people create A New Perspective July 24, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I avoided reading this book at first, thinking it would just be more of the same, on the heels of The Power of Now. Then clients in my therapy practice started quoting it. Eckhart's talk about the ego seems to help men, in particular, to find a language that is comfortable for them in grappling with life issues. Then the book was handed to me by a friend who was passing them out at a birthday dinner. I really loved reading it. I enjoyed reading a few pages a day, and letting it sink in. It has been critiqued as a repackaging of ancient wisdom which we've all heard already from other sources. I agree with that idea to a point. Another perspective I have is that it is ancient wisdom in a fresh package. It was quite a joy to read. It is a true gift, and I am glad that Oprah is promoting it.

A Unique Bunny
Oprah always knows a great pick--I love to read the books in her book club. This book truly woke me up to my purpose in life. This was an incredible awakening and I recommend this book to those who feel that they have no purpose in life. Thank you.
Solution for the Somnolent July 23, 2008
I ordered this by accident and was prepared to snark and sneer; however, I was pleasantly surprised that I read it in a couple of sittings and took away something of value. No, it doesn't reflect my belief system. No, it isn't particularly original. Yes, it can be viewed as popularized and diluted Eastern thought. However, as one who spends about 90% of life in her head, I need constant reminders to come to my senses (literally). Tolle does a nice of reminding me of this and gives some specific and useful tips as to how to achieve and maintain awareness.
I am a bit mystified by the perception that a single, childless man may not be credible as a writer on enlightenment. So we need to hold out for the mystical musings of the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe?
