Product 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.

 Old News, Not a New Earth November 20, 2008
M. Montenegro (Mid-Atlantic Region, USA)

Tolle, supposedly a humble person, considers himself enlightened enough to tell everyone else how to be enlightened. He even says that if the Buddha didn't agree with him, Buddha would be wrong.
There is no evidence in the book that Tolle is enlightened at all. I studied and learned all this stuff back in the late 70s and the 80s; Tolle is merely throwing up a mish-mash of Buddhist-New Age thinking that he swallowed years ago.
It's sad that people think this spiritual wisdom when, in fact, it's full of inherent contradictions and self-refuting statements.
Tolle makes an amazing statement when he says that "at the heart of the new consciousness lies the transcendence of thought, the newfound ability of rising above thought" and we will no longer "derive [your] identity" from the "incessant stream of thinking."
And yet, what is this but a thought?! What is this whole book, but words and thinking? He also downgrades words to mere sounds, but of course, his book is in words!
Go figure!
Tolle needs to go back to the drawing board and get basic logic right before he claims to be enlightened.
 Wonderful Book November 19, 2008
Ellen E. Mccord (Grass Valley, CA USA)
Although it calls upon thought to counteract thinking (an oxymoron), it really helps in bringing the mind into present reality. It's a book I will read again (or portions of it) whenever my mind starts to take me into a negative pattern. Highly recommended.

One of the best books I have ever read that really helps me to understand the world around me and ultimately myself. I keep it handy to refer to on a regular basis, though I confess I have been back-sliding the past few weeks and the anxiety is returning. The real gift of this book is that it puts everything in perspective. That relieves the anxiousness that so seems to pervade our world which leads to wrong perceptions, violence, stupidity, etc. I have given the book as gifts to 3 people so far.
Thank you

It is wonderful that Oprah Winfrey had the author Eckhart Tolle on
her class. But you notice how no one reported lots of success with
her class. This is because of the very deep mistake made by Tolle and
even Wayne Dyer. They are EGO-BASHING speakers and authors who
mistakenly say the EGO is the cause of people's problems. This is false.
The EGO is simply the TOTAL PERSONALITY which includes good habits or
bad habits, faults or talents. But when we are NOT SELF REFLECTIVE, we
allow the bad habits to rule, not realizing they are located in our brain
and are not caused by outside person place or thing. Voila. Failure of
the "positive thinking" to work.
Also they claim (especially Wayne Dyer) we all have FREE WILL. This is
also untrue. Only until self reflection does anyone have the choice to
change their thinking to change their life. Until SELF REFLECTION AWARENESS OF AWARENESS there is no chance of changing your thinking to change your life. You are just lying to yourself. Thinking and growing rich won'twork because as you think "I am rich!" the unreflective part of your ego says "Liar, liar pants on fire." ok? When self-reflective you can then think 1. Where is the feeling of poverty? Answer: Inside 2. Can I change that feeling somehow? Answer: Well, I will try!" so you have the keys to the kingdom. This is also true of the book THE SECRET and why there is not a lot of success with that book either. My book SCIENCE AND THE UNITY OF CONSCIOUSNESS explains all this. Dr. Lou Nitti DctrLouis@att.net
Great Information November 16, 2008
Annmarie T. Serratore (Pennslvania USA)
I loved this book. The information itself I have been hearing and experiencing for many years as I personally open and grow. It's about waking up people! Becoming conscious and remebering who you are. Thank you Eckhart Tolle for bringing this out in such a big way as we are all in a time of big change.
