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

Eckhart Tolle has long been a FAVORITE inspirational teacher of mine since "The Power of Now."  I hope that the many who have found this work inspiring will later read or listen to "The Power of Now."  However, this book is MORE enchanting if you've read or listened that one FIRST then read his latest book "A New Earth."  For me, A New Earth was more of a refresher and not really NEW.  Many of the concepts were already taught in The Power of Now.  If this is your first Tolle, then many on the seekers path will find this refreshing and will more likely feel that Eckhart has helped to escalate...

If you have read "The Power of Now" you must read this book also.  Anyone on the path to spiritual enlightenment would benefit from reading this book.  In the end its not just about finding the "essential" you, but helping the world to awaken to it's purpose.

As quoted from the back cover

"With his bestselling spiritual guide "The Power of Now," Eckhart Tolle inspired milions 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 your ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal...

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...

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...

I wish I could say that I enjoyed this book but I can't.  This average woman just could not wrap her head around it.  In keeping with the works of Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer I find them to be too "heady" for my brain to understand.  I may try again someday and hope that my ADD won't kick back in.
