“Awareness is the greatest agent for change.”
- Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth
A New Earth
Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose
ECKHART TOLLE
An Oprah Book Club pick and international sensation, transforming lives on every continent.
Eckhart Tolle takes readers beyond their own lives to show how we have an opportunity to birth a more loving and sustainable world.
A New Earth shows how we are now experiencing a radical leap in consciousness, an advance beyond our current identification with our ego to an entirely new way of thinking about ourselves. Tolle illuminates how this transformation can occur not only in individuals but for the whole world.
A New Earth presents practical steps to lead us into this new consciousness. As we take these steps, we come to experience who we truly are, which is infinitely greater than anything we currently imagine ourselves to be. This momentous leap in human evolution is crucial for the survival of human life on our planet. To make this leap is therefore the challenge and the opportunity of our times.
As an awakened consciousness takes over from ego and begins to run our lives, it will change all aspects of our existence, both personally and collectively, truly bringing about a new earth.
“[Oprah] Winfrey calls the book ‘a wake-up call for the entire planet, one reader at a time. It helps us to distance ourselves from our egos . . . and to open ourselves to a higher self. . . . It helps us to stop creating our own suffering and obsessing over the past and what the future might be, and to put ourselves in the now.”
“I would do anything to be anywhere in the vicinity of Eckhart Tolle.”
“One of the best books to come along in years. Every sentence rings with truth and power—the power to bring you into the gap, the space between our thoughts, where we find, as Eckhart so beautifully puts it, deep serenity, stillness, and a sacred Presence.”
Eckhart Tolle
World-renowned spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle conveys simple wisdom that transcends any particular religion or doctrine.
His bestselling books are modern classics in the field of personal growth and spirituality and he is widely recognized as one of the most inspiring and visionary spiritual teachers in the world today. The New York Times has described him as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States”, and the Watkins Review named him “the most spiritually influential person in the world”.
A native of Germany, Eckhart Tolle attended the University of London, and upon graduation went on to become a research scholar and supervisor at Cambridge University. At 29, a profound spiritual awakening virtually dissolved his personal identity and sparked a radical change in the course of his life. It marked the beginning of an intense inward journey and he devoted the next decade to understanding, deepening, and integrating that transformation.
With his international bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth, has introduced millions to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. His teachings focus on the significance and power of presence and finding an awakened state of consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking.
For the past twenty-two years, he has acted as a counselor and spiritual guide, facilitating sold-out groups in Europe and North America. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
“This book’s main purpose is not to add new information or beliefs to your mind or try to convince you of anything, but to bring about a shift in consciousness, that is to say to awaken. This book is about you.”
