A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle is the new summer novel to read for the Oprah Book Club.  Today, I would like to give you a brief overview of this book and an idea of what it centers on so you can choose whether to read it for yourself.

In this book, A New Earth, Eckhart Tolle becomes much more than an author, he becomes a spiritual guide.  His main goals are to advocate for present awareness and dismantle the ego on the path towards awakened living.  Yes, it is what it sounds, the Oprah Winfrey Show's latest book, is a spiritual self realization one. 

Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now, which was not an a pick of the Oprah Book Club, Eckhart Tolle presents readers with an honest look at the current state of humanity.  He implores readers to see and accept that this state is one of dangerous insanity.  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.  With a new consciousness, we will come to experience who we truly.

On the Oprah Winfrey Show's website, there is a link to the Oprah Book Club site, which has deep, detailed chapter by chapter discussion.  They also have videos up with comments to help you come to full of understading of Tolle's work as you go along.  So if you decide to read this book, be sure to take advantage of these wonderful resources.
