Product Description
Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle presents readers with an honest look at the current state of humanity: He implores us to see and accept that this state, which is based on an erroneous identification with the egoic mind, is one of dangerous insanity. Tolle tells us there is good news, however. There is an alternative to this potentially dire situation. Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one. In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly arewhich is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we areand learn to live and breathe freely.

 just ok? August 30, 2008
It seems like an interesting book but still is slow paced it doesnt grab your attention right away. You have to be willing to wait for a little while.
 a new earth: Awakening your lifes purpose by Eckart Tolle August 29, 2008
A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61)
This book is wonderful. If you want to learn more about your inner world then Eckhart Tolle has captured our essence. It's a book you need to reflect on and maybe re-read to awaken in yourself the true reality of your life.
A must read August 29, 2008
This was the best book I have ever read. It has taught me so much about myself and I can now look at other people with a different perspective as to why they act the way they do.
A New Earth? August 29, 2008
In this book Mr. Tolle allows us to participate in his act of discovery and purpose. He takes us from the complex computer world that most of us are a part of to a very simple way of feeling and reacting in this world. Interesting.
Life altering August 28, 2008
I will start this review by stating a simple fact:
This book has changed my life and will continue to change it until I die.
I am aware now and for me, that is enough. Being aware is the plain and simple truth behind my continuing transformation. However, as plain and simple as the truth is, it isn't easy. It is a constant challenge to be aware of my thoughts, but I have found that Eckhart was right about the egoic thoughts evaporating once I shine a light on them. That doesn't mean they don't come back or that new ones don't form, because they do. And sometimes they slip past me unnoticed for several minutes until I become aware of them again, but over time I have found that it gets easier to recognize egoic thoughts for what they are and they occur fewer and farther between now. They also evaporate much faster than before. It's like seeing them for what they are just takes all the fight out of them.
I am not quite sure I fully understand what everybody means by spiritual awakening and I never sought that. All I wanted was a way out of fear-based behavior and I have found it in this book. That is why this book is now, and will forever remain, the single most important self help book in my library. If you read this book and understand it, you will know how it helps to live without fear.
I didn't come to Amazon to read reviews for a book I already have and love. I came to Amazon to see about ordering The Power of Now. When I saw some of the single stars for A New Earth, I decided to read those reviews to see why somebody wouldn't love the book as much as I did and was surprised by what I read.
I have read in some reviews that the author is just repeating Buddha's teachings and claiming them as his own. For myself, I never felt the author claimed these ideas as his own. In fact, he repeats many teachings of Jesus and Buddha throughout the book and lists them as such. I also can't recall him ever claiming himself as enlightened. In fact, the one thing I do remember about any personal claims he made was that working on the ego was an ongoing process for him.
And just to prove a point, and I might just be proving it to myself, when I read those reviews I got angry. I felt threatened and insulted for loving the book so much when there were other people out there who didn't like it at all. I made the assumption that they were all still in the grip of the ego and thought how unconscious they all were. Then I became aware of my thoughts, all angry and superior in nature, and they evaporated.
For the first time since I was a very young child, I am free. Not completely. Not yet. That might never happen, but I experience true freedom throughout my day, day after day, and for me, mere words will never be adequate enough to express my gratitude to Eckhart Tolle for sharing this wisdom with me.
