I bought this book because Eckhart Tolle has proven to be a compelling teacher and author. I have heard from other people that his first book "Power of Now" was hard for them, but that "A New Earth" had really drawn them in and was a great read. I did not find "Power of Now" difficult, but it is true that "A New Earth" is a different format than Tolle's first book (which is in question and answer format), and therefore is an enjoyable read.
I highly recommend both of his amazing books. What he talks about could change your life. It is hard for the mind to be told about itself, and so I think this is what makes the concepts hard for some people. The mind knows that Tolle is on to it, and so has trouble letting in the information! Try it on yours and see what happens. If it really sinks in, maybe peace could become a reality....
I have not read this book as of yet, but I have read some of your reviews in how you say it is life changing. I know another book that does the same thing if only we would take time to read it. It talks about changing our attitudes, seeing things differently and being connected to the Creator. So many times we are searching for things in areas when they are right in front of us. Try reading the Bible...it will give you the same feeling. It has been around forever & still has the same results.
Tolle writes a book that is stated simply, but expounds on universal and profound ideas. If you are Christian, it will help solidify your faith, if you are Jewish, Muslim,or of Eastern Religions, it will do the same. Sweet read before you go to sleep at night.
My retail job stressed me out so much I thought I would have to quit. Then I came across this book and read it. Tolle described how I could practice being aware of my negative emotions at work, or anywhere in my life. I am actually beginning to be able to enjoy working with (almost) all my customers. This book has not only helped me enjoy my job more, but has helped in so many other aspects of my life. I am able to enjoy things that normally would have stressed me out, like going to a family reunion. This is a wonderful book that I would recommend to anyone. Even if there is no stress in your life, or nothing you feel negatively about, this book will amaze and inspire you.
This book was delivered fast! I got it shortly after the order was placed. It came in excelent condition and I am really happy with my purchase. It was everything that was expected.
I heard about the book on Oprah Winfrey and decided to get it. I'm reading it right now and am enoying it very much. I also have the book on cd so I'm listening to it as I'm reading. I enjoy reading and heard it was a good book. So far I'm finding the book very informative.
I have not read it, will not read it, Do not want to know about it. This book is written by a Guy who writes books, about things, that people want to read about.
bought the NewPhone 74205 three weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive phone. It has a 1M-pixel camera, video camera, and speakerphone. The NewPhone's size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 4 hours. My only complaint is that the menu system on the phone makes you click four times before you can find someone in the address book, set an alarm, or perform a additional functions. Other phones I've owned have simpler menus and get you to important features easily. Overall, I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget.
June 3, 2006 Although the vendor immediately charged my credit card for the total in March 2008, I've yet to receive this item as well as a response to my inquiry. Unfortunately, the vendor has either not acknowledged or ignored this mishap; either way I find the service very poor! I’ve asked to have the shipping fee waived to compensate error and if that’s not possible then I’d like a full refund. Thank you
Although the concept is not new to me, he explains it in an understandable way and builds on his explanations. One definitely needs to focus when reading this book and some concepts need to be reread. A path that we should all be on.........
I SAW THE BOOK ADVERTISED ON THE OPRAH SHOW AND IT SOUNDED INTERESTING. I AM STILL READING IT. IT IS A BOOK THAT MAKES YOU AWARE OF YOUR THINKING. I WOULD RECOMEND THE BOOK.
Interesting read. Do not necessarily have same religious beliefs as the author. I personally do believe that Jesus IS the only way to be with God after death. Mr. Tolle seems to view him as a great revolutionary and philosopher vs. the Son of God. Good book for parents and persons who have struggled in their relationships with parents. Also, good book to help find him/herself and remember who he/she is and his/her purpose in life.
Actually, I bought it for my sister so I didn't read it. She seems very pleased with it. It was an Oprah book and she wanted it so I surprised her with it.
The information in this book has changed my life, not only personally but in the way I see others around me. One of the most important books I have ever read. I am a Christian and I love the Lord and the Bible, and this book gives additional information on our human behavior and how to love ourselves and others. Everyone should read it! Thank you Mr. Tolle for sharing with us all.
I bought it because I kept getting all those e-mails from Oprah's website and I was intrigued. Eckhart Tolle writes for the reader and gives you examples of his thinking. Alot of this corresponds with spiritual thinking, if you are a thinker (I think most women are...as to why people do the things they do) this book will give you a broader perspective and help put thoughts and puzzle pieces together, giving them clarity like never before. Well worth the time spent! A+
