A New Earth - Awakening to Your Life's Purpose Review

I thought reading "A New Earth" and participating in the class online was one of the most enriching, enlightening experiences of my life.  All throughout my life I have often felt like an "outcast"; like I didn't quite fit in with any particular "group" of people...but this book allowed me to see there was a purpose to my life and showed me how to get beyond many of my life's past difficulties. 

I have never in my life read anything or heard a discussion that showed me that there was a "purpose" for me in this world.  But not just for me...it's not really about me...there is a purpose for every single person on this planet.  There were so many parts of this book that I have often thought in my mind, but never heard anyone actually write or speak about! 

My biggest problem has been since I originally read the book, I have not been practicing the meditation or a lot of the helpful suggestions or techniques as I had planned.

Another strange thing, I started reading "The Power of Now" and I cannot get beyond page 25.  I don't know if it is because I don't have the reinfocement of the online class to spur me on and clarify some of Tolle's points or if I would have enjoyed it more if I had read this one first?
