A New Earth

Awakening Your Life's Purpose

By: Eckhart Tolle

Narrated by: Eckhart Tolle

Length: 9 hrs and 12 mins

Publisher's summary

Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle presents listeners with an honest look at the current state of humanity: He implores us to see and accept that this state, which is based on an erroneous identification with the egoic mind, is one of dangerous insanity.

Tolle tells us there is good news, however. There is an alternative to this potentially dire situation. 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.

In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are, which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are, and learn to live and breathe freely.

A Truly Life Changing Book

If you’re ready to receive it, this book will change your entire outlook on life. You will find peace and aliveness in all that you do and true purpose in your existence here. It is quite dense and a lot to take in, so even after completing the book, I just play it over and over again while I’m doing the dishes or driving. Little bits here and there begin to stick more and more. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Excellent

Every time I read one of his books, I think to myself, “ This one is my favorite.”
I’ll never be able to decide which one is actually my favorite because they are all amazing and eye opening. This one is a must read along with all of his other books.

Possibly the most insightful spiritual book ever

I have studied, read and practiced many spiritual books and metaphysical texts and courses, however this single book sums up perfectly our purpose of existence. Even just from listening to it I have observed and felt many shifts in how is see and respond to my inner and outer worlds. I shall read it over and over again as the shift is subtle and yet so very enormous. I know with each reading he shift will continue to expand and my consciousness to be realised more and more.

A vital spiritual guide

As an atheist who is curious about Qi, universal energy and the gems of religious texts, I found this book invaluable to my studies. Tolle weaves together the lessons of global religious and philosophical texts in a fundamental way that cuts to the core of existence itself. His ability to put words to the wordless is remarkable. This is the challenge of the ages, how do you describe that which is undescribable? Tolle comes the closest for me. Give it a read, perhaps in a meditative state.

Transformative

What a powerful book. Tolle is clear, succinct, and impactful. Can’t wait for his next book.

Everyone can benefit

From this read.
It’s great. I read listened to Oprah’s notes on this book first & couldn’t get enough. It’s a bible so to speak. My only complaint is Eckhart’s voice is too low to listen to this on a low volume.

Life Altering…Ego VS. Self?!

Initially, I was thinking, “this voice is not going to work for me,” realizing I had started a book by the same author a handful of years ago and shut it down within the first few minutes!
I do not know what made the difference but I was completely sucked into this bizarre concept of our “real” self vs our ego within minutes.
This is one of few books when finished I found myself a wee-bit melancholy. The Tethered Soul is another which I believe is how I stumbled onto, The New Earth.
I would have thought it was a recent release, NOT 2005!! Where to go from here? I will begin listening to his book, NOW, and see if it’s impact is similar to, The New Earth.
Thank you, Eckhart Tolle, for making life altering resources, allowing ordinary people to step away from our ego in order to create a NEW neuropathy system in order to live our life in the NOW as Christ had intended.

Life changing, elevating!

Eckhart Tolle is really a enlightened being, the truth in his words are piercings and cut through all my worn out layers of ego. This book, very much like the power of now is nourishment to the soul. I use as a daily dose of coffee for the soul. A real gift to humanity!

Amazing book to crush your ego

I’ve listened to this audible book twice because once is just not enough - is that good!
I’m starting to practice what I’m hearing and my life is transforming to be happy with what I have and what’s around me, at peace with what is cause Now is all I have.

Inspiring, uplifting, and stimulating

I was drawn to listen/read after hearing Tolle in an interview with Oprah. His words are enlightening and spiritual in a mesmerizing way. I had to rewind and listen to some parts several times because I really wanted to soak in the essence. I will probably re-listen again as well!
