About this audiobook
"[Oprah] Winfrey calls the book 'a wake-up call for the entire planet, one reader at a time.'"-USA Today
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.
Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, A New Earth is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life-and for building a better world.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Builds on The Power of Now
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Good Book!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of those books I wish everyone would read. It is simple, but life-changing. When I first read Eckhart Tolle, I didn't think much of his message. That was a few years ago and I think I read it only on the level of thought, and with a skeptical attitude. Then I saw a couple of short videos by him, and suddenly I understood what he was saying on a deeper level. So, I listened to this book on audio tape. I find that just listening to his voice helps me to become more present. It's a simple message--be here now, but frankly, I can use the reminder.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is based on Buddhist beliefs, for the most part. If you are interested in a spiritual awakening without using religion, this book would be of help. It's well-written, and the basic concepts are clearly spelled out. The author has also written other books that go along with this one, so if you like his style, you can continue to explore this road to enlightenment.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A little new-agey for my blood, this book still provides a great reminder and a slightly different take on bringing Buddhism back.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book really makes you think about how you live your life. It helps you get in touch with your feelings and re-evaluate how you respond to ordinary situations.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A true inspiration.................
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An extraordinary book by a great visionary of our time.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Although Tolle says he's not affiliated with any religion, this book is really "Buddhism lite". The concepts in this book weren't new to me but I thought that Tolle had an engaging style of explaining them that kept me interested. It was repetitive at times but I think someone who was learning about enlightenment and the principles of consciousness for the first time might need that repetition to reinforce them. Most of the book was theoretical - I would have like more concrete examples of how to implement the concepts in my own life. I did not do Oprah's online classes, perhaps those would have some.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I found Eckhart Tolle's self help book to be very engaging. Have your handy dandy highlighter available as you note key ideas as well as a pencil to jot down your thoughts. Although I did not feel awakened to my life's purpose I learned how to be more aware, more conscience of my own perceptions and that of others. If that's to be my life's purpose than so be it, I'm well on my way. I'll keep this book near at hand to review key ideas occasionally less I lose my way. A definite keeper.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book conveyed some ideas very well to me and those ideas have been very helpful for me in preventing some stress, accepting unfortunate or difficult things in life, and enjoying the rest the of it in the moment.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I haven't finished reading this one yet. Some of it is a little difficult to get through. Gives us something to think about (other than ourselves!). Who are we? and why are we here? Very philosophical.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Amazing book with flaws. I think if you believe any self-help book 100% something is wrong with you. This book has changed my life but I still have problems with some of what he says. And that is fine. I have learned about my inner ego and how to control it and also how to live in the "Now". This book is a work in progress in my life though. I would recommend anyone picking this up.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lots of interesting ideas about how to live a more meaningful life. Tolle encourages us to get out of minds and egos and into the moment, "just be." Pretty new-agey stuff for me and I'm not sure I agree with or understand all of his points, yet I'm already incorporating some of his ideas into my life. This is a book I need to buy and highlight and underline and re-read. I don't often feel the need to do that.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another Life changing book - giving freedom to all who read and abide by it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Eckhart Tolle provides an intelligent discussion of the common state-of-being for most humans. This state, he points out, is largely unconscious. He identifies an "egoic mind" which can never be satisfied, is often angered and causes us to turn pain into pro-longed suffering. "A New Earth" goes beyond "The Power of Now" to suggest that by becoming the awareness behind the thoughts and feelings we experience, we can discover our essential being; that place where peace, personal power and love reside. Mr. Eckhart's insights go beyond individual awakening to explore the infinite , formless state from which we came.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I enjoyed reading this and it really has me thinking about what is really important in my life. I find myself thinking I can do this for 5 minutes and then 5 minutes go to 10 and so on. It helps with the fear of the unknown.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I am finding this to be one of the best books ever on spirituality because it makes "living in the moment" accessible in a user friendly way. Podcasts of an Eckhart/Oprah series are available at Oprah.com which are a great addition to the book
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Basically, some decent observations on how to live your life dressed up in all sorts of overblown and self-important language, then over-generalized into Truths that are supposed to cure every ill. Think of it as spiritual snake oil. it won't hurt you, but it pretends to be so much mroe than it really is.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5SLOW read. His choice of words can get tangled up and hard to understand but sticking to it leads to clarity. It is another way to describe many of the spiritual teachings appearing these days showing there are many roads to reach a destination. I took many quotes from the book as triggers to remind me or bring me back into focus...worth the time.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Undescribable here. This book is unlike anyting I have ever read, and if you are privileged enough to understand its message, it will truly impact your life in unimaginable ways. I wish everyone could read and comprehend this book. On a sidenote, I found the first two chapters difficult to follow. Don't give up on the book because of the initial pages!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Even though I wrote this review, my advice to anyone reading it is: don't decide whether to read this book based upon reviews. Put simply, the book will either speak to you or it won't, and either way it's okay. Tolle himself says as much in Chapter 1. You won't know until you read it yourself, so someone else's opinion is irrelevant.If you're interested in opinions anyway, for me, it's as if Tolle's words were deposited directly into my heart. The same thing happened when I read The Power of Now]years ago, but revisiting the message as it's presented in this book was what I needed to begin integrating this teaching into my life. The effect has been extraordinary. I think anyone on a spiritual journey of any type should at least attempt to read this book. It certainly can't hurt.I know a lot of people steer clear of "Oprah" books, but in this case, I hope that doesn't have the effect of turning people off. Tolle's intention with the book is to reach people as individuals, wherever they are in their journey and whenever the message will resonate. That means you don't have to participate in the Oprah classes to "get it."
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'll admit that I read this book only because a friend of mine knew of my love for books and wanted to share the experience of Oprah's webcasts with me. At first, I was reluctant to do so, but I finally agreed to do so as reading is indeed my passion.The beginning of this book left a lot to be desired. I found the text repetitive, watered down to the lowest common denominator, and a reflection of my own personal beliefs about spirituality. It was actually after I got to the last quarter of the book that I sensed myself becoming more engaged. Perhaps that was because, at that point, the explanations of the idea were thankfully over and suggestions for its application in daily life were suggested. It was also at that place in the narrative that I decided to go back and view the Oprah podcasts. My overall feeling is that this book is a good read for people who have never been attracted to this type of spirituality before and want the idea to be clearly explained. The narrative leaves a lot to be desired by those of us who want to know more in depth about the ideas presented. I'd say I think of this book as kind of a Spirituality 101. It has an interesting idea offered to those ready to receive it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book could've easily been called, "Everything You Need To Know To Be Happy", or "Your Mind, An Owner's Manual". It's not an easy read whatsoever, but the information is golden and absolutely worth the effort. I loathe psychology and what I refer to as "psycho-babble" and "guru-speak", so it took me a while to warm up to this book. The first couple of chapters were excruciatingly pretentious, but I was determined to get something out of this read, and the rest of the book far exceeded my expectations. I'm going to need to reread it several more times before I feel like I have a good grasp on it all; it was just too much to take in all at once.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked this book even more than Power of Now. The human mind needs an evolutionary transformation, and Tolle shows how this can occur by shifting out of our ego based consciousness.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5can any thing be more deeper and insightful..read this book along with The origin story and Homo deus to have a larger perspective
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely the best book I have ever read..
READI IT - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This guy is amazing, what an insight and confirmation! Awakening is NOW my practice.......
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Speech less, this book will come to you when you're ready.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Truly inspirational, very peaceful to listen to and in no way preachy. Simply put
