In A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle © 2005, noted author of The Power of Now and other bestsellers, shows how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is essential to personal happiness and a key to ending conflict and suffering in the world.

Just as his other books, this book is intended to awaken one’s state of consciousness. As such, many readers may find themselves resisting reading the book, his claims and stories because they are not ready to become awakened. Therefore, this book most naturally appeals to those who are already pre-disposed to like it – for example, those who have read his previous works and liked them. Though some of those readers may find that many of his claims mirror his other books – for example, his saying that we are inseparable from the Now… stillness… life….

Nevertheless, this book makes many claims already stated by other noted works, by Ken Wilber, Chopra, Krisnamurti, and in The Course of Miracles, as it explores our spiritual evolution, what we are, why we are here, and where we are going.

If you’re looking for a book to help you understand the ego, ego-attachment, and the many pitfalls derived from the ego, this book covers all the bases. It may be difficult going, if your ego is strongly entrenched; reading this book will challenge your ever essence. But if you can work through that, you will truly become more enlightened. Something the author wants and believes the world needs right now – hence the title, A New Earth.
