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

"I began reading A New Earth during a very dark and confusing time in my life. I was looking for something to help me find strength and positivity in myself so that I could be a better person for those that I love. I looked forward to reading even just a few pages each day to lift my focus on life. I have recommended the book to so many others. While it does read a bit clinical in some areas, it forces the reader to read slowly and really take in the message of hope. I have notes and highlights on nearly every page throughout the entire book. My new mantra is living in the NOW. "

"I would not recommend this book. The review that said it was "Buddhism repackaged" is right. I would recommend reading the Bible instead."

"In 2006 of November, our brand new library opened for the first time. I sat by the acting branch manager - met her for the first time, and I whispered to her that I wanted to be the first person to check out a book from our brand new library. So the night before, she urged me to pick the book. I went down the aisle of books - and within seconds, the book A NEW EARTH was in my hand. I checked the book out, but I didn't read it. I was so busy to read another book. And there was the beauty in right timing! I had no idea what the book was about - but I've read THE POWER OF NOW and has listened to Eckhart Tolle's CDs THE REALIZATION OF BEING, and EVEN THE SUN WILL DIE (911 interview). Until a few weeks ago, an old friend gave me the audio CDs of A NEW EARTH. I've been listening to it ever since. It has given me a break from thoughts and stories in my mind that ran constantly. I've felt so peaceful that I have more energy to be with people, and more energy to create. I think this may be the instrument that humanity has been waiting for - many spiritual leaders have attempted to speak of it - and now, it's speaking out with greatest clarity. If this is the truth, it shall set many people free. I came from a religious background. I was born in a Catholic family, and I became a born-again christian in the early 80's. I traveled with the Continental Ministries and sang about God all over the world and the USA. I was involved with Campus Crusade for Christ for all 5 years in college and went on short-term missions with Campus Crusade for Christ in South Lake Tahoe and the Philippines. I showed the Jesus Film on the nomadic tribe of Samburu in Northern Kenya. Ive studied the Bible intensely with groups for several years. And now, I feel that the message in this book allows the reader to experience compassion and kindness towards self - and then allowing the self to flower naturally, as it is intended to be. "You will know the truth, and the truth shall set you free!" Enjoy, and Be!"

"I bought 10 copies and I am going to purchase one more copy to give away. I sent 9 of the 10 copies to my sisters, my daughters and one niece and brother and I also kept one for my husband and me to read together. It is so good and the content is written in a way that have you thinking and looking into your life all over again. If you can look at the world through this book's content and look at your life that you understand, you will value the work that Eckhart Tolle has given to us.

Everytime one of my family members tell me of a problem that they are having I tell them to read the book, it will help them to understand what they are dealing with and assist them to solve it if possible to solve.

I recommend the book to everyone and heard about the book on Oprah one evening.

Love it and thans to Mr. Tolle for taking the time to do his research and sharing it with us. "

"The in depth concepts are simply laid out, along with quick and easy techniques to practice in order to drive home the point. It's definitely made a difference in how I live my life and how I think about myself. This book is an easy read with short chapters. I highly reccommend if some one is not typically a "book" person. I believe this book is a simplified version of "The Power of Now" but I can't confirm that."
