"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."

If now is not the time, then this is not the book for now
Many years ago before Eckhart Tolle was on Oprah Winfrey, a friend of mine who is Buddhist, highly recommended, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment. I respected his opinion so I went to my local bookstore and flipped through a copy. It looked verbose and boring. I didn't buy it.
<br />
<br />I don't even remember the circumstances, but in 2005, I saw "A New Earth" in the bookstore and felt drawn to pick it up. I was floored by the teachings. It made so much sense and had immediate applications in the moment. In that moment, I chose to buy the book because it was the right book at that right moment for me.
<br />
<br />I agree that Eckhart Tolle is not presenting anything new, but it's not the message, it's the medium that is important. How many times have we heard things like "exercise and eat right", yet we don't act? Sometimes, you just need to see the message presented in a different way and be in the right place in your life to receive it.
<br />
<br />I heard a great saying the other day that completely shook the foundation of smugness that my ego holds. Here it is: You don't know something unless you're living it. So, unless you are truly living in the moment, regardless of what you've read or studied before, you DON'T KNOW what Eckhart Tolle is talking about.
<br />
<br />I had the pleasure of seeing him speak live and he was incredibly powerful, yet extremely humble. I also watched his video appearance on Oprah and from that, I learned what meditation truly is. I understood what it meant to empty the mind and just be. I realized meditation is not hard at all, it's insanely simple.
<br />
<br />If this is your now, then this is your book.

Clear, Simple
Throughout 12 months of spiritual reading, A New Earth is the simplest, clearest book I have come across. This approach works for me, and will work for many. With an idea like "Awakening is the separation of thinking and awareness", awakening suddenly becomes very doable, and something you are perhaps already making progress with. I have read both the book and listened to the audio book, and I must say that Tolle's voice is beautiful to listen to. Anyway, there are my thoughts, I hope you find them informative.
