Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle presents readers with an honest look at the current state of humanity: He implores us to see and accept that this state, which is based on an erroneous identification with the egoic mind, is one of dangerous insanity.

Tolle tells us there is good news, however. There is an alternative to this potentially dire situation. Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one. In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are—which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are—and learn to live and breathe freely.

  1. A Thousand Mirrors I have read Eckhart Tolle’s previous works and believe him to be one of the most important spiritual teachers of the 20th and 21st centuries. I had waited very patiently however for this book which he took most of last year to write because when someone of his caliber takes so much time to write a book about enlightenment and the ego you know it’s got to be good. The title didn’t grab me so much though as the content. This book in one fell swoop has given me more food for thought concerning who I am and who and what this personality is up to than any other spiritual book I’ve ever read. It’s a sobering look at who I am and how devious the ego can be. It has helped me see many of my problems are due to my ego instead of it being all those others in my life. If you’re ready to face yourself and who you are up to now you’ve come to the right place. This book will show you all your games and guises and help you get back to the real you underneath it all. It may be the best step on the…

  2. A Treasure I love this book. Tolle describes ancient truths and applies them to life in the 21st century in a way that is inspiring and comforting. I took away from this book three simple, yet profound ideas. First and foremost, Tolle believes that we are all connected to each other and that everything we do matters and has an impact on our world. His second idea lies in the power of listening: he suggests that if we can quiet our egos long enough to truly listen, it is possible to feel a sacredness and inner harmony where everything has its perfect place. And lastly, the author speaks of the power of awareness. The moment you notice a pattern of behavior that is no longer working for you, you are a success.Reading this book reminded me of the writings of two of my favorite authors: Ariel and Shya Kane. In their books Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment, Working on Yourself Doesn’t Work: A Book About Instantaneous Transformation and How To Create a Magical Relationship[,…

  3. A life-changing book?…Maybe, maybe not Back in 2000 I read Tolle’s “The Power of Now” (TPON), and thought so highly of it that I included it in the “Must Read” list at the end of my own book. As such, I figured “A New Earth” just might be as valuable to me as TPON was at that time.I read this book over a weekend and my first impression was that it was a solid effort, and that it was essentially a hybrid of TPON, with the primary difference being that it’s written in a prose as opposed to a Q&A format. The fact that it’s similar to TPON isn’t necessarily a negative, for that book had some very valuable content in it that’s clearly worth hearing again.Is it a life changing work? Well, the truth is it all depends on YOU. If you’re considering buying it because Oprah recommends it, but you haven’t read a single book in the spiritual growth/personal growth category in the past, then my sense is that you might become a bit frustrated with its esoteric nature. A better choice as a first book might be “The…
