Author: Eckhart Tolle
“A New Earth” by German author Eckhart Tolle is a transformative work that was originally published in 2005 before it was selected for Oprah's Book Club in 2008 and featured in a series of weekly webinars with Tolle and Winfrey.
Tolle, a spiritual teacher and best-selling author of several books such as “The Power of Now” and “Stillness Speaks,” writes that most of the struggles people go through are not the result of external factors but of what's going on inside. mind
The self-help book invites readers to reflect on and understand their ego. By bringing awareness to the ego's influence on human nature and behavior, the author encourages readers to shift their thoughts from negative thinking that clouds their experience of living in the present moment.
Tolle emphasizes the importance of recognizing the ego as a mental framework built by habits rather than facts or realistic ideas of a real self, as opposed to the real self.
In doing so, people will be able to acquire a flexible mindset, allow growth, and begin to align their actions with core values and inner wisdom, Tolle notes.
The author also talks about the negative emotions that some people may experience in the process of personal development and challenges them to accept themselves even when faced with complex emotions.
“A New Earth” is an excellent choice for readers seeking deeper insight, breaking free from old habits, and embracing a more wholesome way of thinking.
