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

There is nothing in this book that a person seeking to better themself doesn't already know. I'm shocked at how many 5-star ratings this book has received.

Tolle rehashes, repeats, and rephrases over, and over, and over. The main points of the book could have been presented in half the pages.

This book is a must read for anyone wanting to get in touch with their spiritual side. I recommend it highly.

This book holds all the necessary pointers that can lead to bliss in the moment. Nomatter what circumstance you are in - there can be peace and bliss. I have been studying meditation for the last 1 and 1/2 years in Thailand and have had the good fortune to meet 3 people who I consider to be enlightened. I have never met Eckhart Tolle but I can tell from his teaching that he is the real deal. His words have helped me make stay in the moment and remain as THE MOMENT - as my pure consciousness in bliss and in God even more than all the meditating and all the work I've done in Thailand and before that. It is truly the best book I have ever read. I only think that many will not fully grasp the depth of what he is talking about. If you learn anything - that is to say - concepts... then that's not it. Just always being present is it... Not having your attention soaked up into thoughts that seem so very important... or emotions that seem true and justified... I love religions myself and all they have to give to spirituality. I know that love of God can destroy the ego more quickly than almost anything... Christians have great love of God! But unfortunately - a lot of the time they get every iota of their love for God from hating other religions.

This is the most spiritually enlightening book I have ever read. I now "get" what it means to be enlightened and live in the moment in either acceptance, enjoyment or enthusiasm. I liked it so much I bought it for some family members and friends.

The book was well written and informative it has given me a new lease on life. I am now utilizing the recommendations written in the book.
