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

Of course if Oprah says to read it, America Does. I found this book taking me a long time to read.  I tried to absorb each chapter and apply the message to my every day life. 

I liked the printable work sheets available on line at Oprah's website.  I could work at my pace and think about things before listening to the broadcast.

Although I didn't agree with a lot of his beliefs or teachings or outlook on many things, I did find it helpful in certain aspects of my life.  I would recommend reading this book with an open mind.  It is someone else's view on life and the things that happen and how we react to them.  He gives advice on handling life - although some of his ideals were different than mine.  There is good advice for everyone - if you just hang in there until the end. 

Overall I would recommend it to a friend with the advice of reading it slowly, don't try to analyze tolle's thoughts or his beliefs, but try to apply some of the advice to the areas of your life that need improving.  Basically the book is trying to get the point across that you can't change/fix other people, it's within ourselves and how we handle issues and other people.
