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. About the Author ECKHART TOLLE is a contemporary spiritual teacher who is not aligned with any particular religion or tradition. In his writing and seminars, he conveys a simple yet profound message with the timeless and uncomplicated clarity of the ancient spiritual masters: There is a way out of suffering and into peace. Eckhart travels extensively, taking his teachings throughout the world.
from all indications, mr tolle makes money with his vacuous pronouncements: far be it from me to put him down. however... as with infomercials promising the secret of effortless millions, there's no way around the paradox of first premises, eg, if you really know the secret of effortless money, why are you working so hard to convince me to send $19.95 right now? or, in tolles's case, if you've achieved selflessness, why are you so discordantly singing this song of yourself?
historically, spiritual masters don't say much. christ, if you believe the gospels, said very little. alternatively, people most exquisitely burdened by self tend to publish prolifically. after all, you can't spell 'creativity' without 'e,' 'g,' and 'o.' (although, really, 'g' and 'o' are superfluous; still, of what use is it to remark here that you cannot spell 'boogie' without 'e,' 'g,' and 'o?')
