A New Earth April 9, 2008
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is a very good book, however, it is not an easy read. I found I could only read a few chapters at a time in order to try to absorb his theories. There is a lot of "fat" around the "meat", and I found it a hard book to read. I wish I had read "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, and it's all small stuff", first as it is very similar in the points being made in "A New Earth", but written in a way that anyone would understand and enjoy, and I think would have been better able to grasp what the author of A New Earth was getting at. That being said, there was something that made me want to read the whole book, and I did. I'm glad I read A New Earth, but I don't think it's one I could read again. I may refer back to specific sections.

I encourage anyone, and everyone to read this book. This book absolutely changed me.
 Content is incredible............Audio is very disappointing! March 30, 2008

It's a shame someone with a great voice wasn't hired for this presentation. The speaker's voice drops off at the end of many sentences, and with his accent is often very difficult to understand. I went back to reading the book after purchasing both the CD's and the book.
Awakening now... March 18, 2008

I am almost through reading this book for the second time. And once I'm done, I'll start it again. There is so much to learn in this book, so much to begin applying to my life. Anyone who instinctively knows they are a spiritual being will only benefit from reading this book. If you are ready to be awakened, get this book and read it!! And if possible, catch the webcasts on Mondays with Oprah and Eckhart. Get out there and awaken with the rest of us! Change the world.

I watched the first New Earth internet event (hosted by Oprah) out of curiosity and was intrigued by what Tolle had to say. I ordered the book with high hopes that were dashed within the first few pages. He made the same error many spiritual gurus make: writing with authority about things they know little about. For instance, evolutionary biology--he knows nothing about it but uses it to drive points home. And his grasp of world religion, history, physics, psychology, medicine is poor and manipulated to suit his agenda. It is so unnecessary. If he had stuck with what he knows--ego and consciousness--he wouldn't have lost my respect and interest so quickly and permanently. It is unfortunate because I think he has some good, helpful things to say. I guess the volume would be too slim if it only contained the important nuggets, so it was padded with a lot of misinformation, thus illuminating a decidedly limited view of consciousness. And there is evidence of a pretty well entrenched ego in his writing despite his belief that his ego is dead. He needs to study some depth psychology to understand the positive role of ego. He discusses only the dysfunctional, "mad" as he calls it, ego.
