Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence. Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, A New Earth is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life—and for building a better world. Review: This book was not intended as entertainment. - I gave “A New Earth” five stars because Eckhart Tolle hit the nail squarely on the head. The source of all human misery is the “self” and the most effective way to reduce misery is to diminish the “self.” In order to do that, we must keep reminding ourselves of this fact, over and over and over again. Every day. Every hour. Every minute. So if “A New Earth” seems repetitive, it’s because repetition is what it takes to free ourselves from the “self.” I will now paraphrase the fairly large number of negative 1-star and 2-star desertcart reviews. These fall into four categories: 1. The book is soooo boooring. I didn't get instant enlightenment after reading the first five pages, so I just gave up. It’s just another shallow self-help book. 2. The book contradicts my religion, therefore it's wrong and nobody should read it. 3. Oprah Winfrey deceived the public by recommending this book. 4. My book arrived damaged, had pages missing, or had things written in the margins, so it’s a bad book and nobody should read it. Tolle tells the reader right up front that this book isn't for everyone. It's not intended to be a "self-help" book or to provide entertainment. The main purpose of "self-help" books is to stroke the ego and make it feel superior to other egos. "A New Earth" does pretty much the opposite of that. Tolle isn’t trying to “help” the self; he’s trying to help us get rid of the self (or at least get rid of the incessant noise coming from it). Furthermore, Tolle doesn't promise that reading it will "enlighten" anyone. The purpose of the book is point out the fallacy of the ego and why the ego causes so much misery and heartache, and to help us steer our attention away from it. If people expected to be entertained, they would have been much better off spending $15 on a movie and popcorn. Several of the people posting negative reviews bought the CD audio version and played it while commuting to work! I don’t know whether they were listening to the CDs on a bus, a train, or in a car, but I’d say listening to Tolle while trying to navigate a car through rush-hour traffic is pretty much the worst possible way to absorb his message. There were also complaints about the quality of Tolle’s voice on the CDs. Some said it is “flat” or “monotone” or “boring” or hard to understand because of its German accent. Who were they expecting to hear? Don Rickles? Tolle’s English is nearly perfect in my opinion, and anyone who has watched an Eckhart Tolle video (and there are many free videos of him on YouTube) should know what his voice sounds like (including his soft German accent) and what to expect when listening to it. I don’t understand why a person clinging to religious dogma and believing it already provides all the answers to life's purpose would even want to read a book about finding life's purpose. I suspect the reason is because their religion really hasn’t given their lives true purpose, causing an underlying angst and thirst for the truth. Meanwhile, their judgmental egos engage in outrage because it enhances an image of their own righteousness. I also find it very odd that some reviewers who gave "A New Earth" one or two stars end up criticizing Oprah Winfrey as much, if not more, than the author who wrote the book. I watched the whole 1:29:00 of Oprah interviewing Tolle on YouTube, and I heard a fairly accurate description of the book's content. Nowhere did either of them claim the book would be entertaining or that it would provide instant enlightenment. I can't quite figure out why people think Oprah deceived them or what they were hoping to find in this book based on that interview. I guess the ego will blame everyone (other than itself) for being in such a sad state and will do and say anything to keep the truth from penetrating consciousness. Finally, there is no reason to expect a book advertised as used or second-hand to arrive in mint condition. If you’re disappointed with your purchase based on the book’s condition, your beef is with desertcart, the third-party supplier, or the company that shipped it to you, but not with the author or Oprah Winfrey. Giving the book a 1-star rating based on a book’s physical condition on arrival does a disservice to the reading public. Review: The gift of the "Trigger'" - I looked at this book last year when Oprah had her series with him, and for whatever reason it did not resonate. I had read his book The Power of Now years ago and found it esoteric and 'heavy going' (too 'heady' and abstract for me at the time.) But I happened to be at Bart's Books in Ojai this weekend and picked this up. My friend and I were there on a kind of inspirational/contemplative getaway and the book seemed fitting fare to imbibe on the four hour train ride home. The phrase when the student is ready the teacher appears is what comes to mind. His message, most particularly the section about the 'pain body' and the ego and their cooperation with each other, just hit me like a thunderclap. Now I had spent the weekend being 'triggered' by someone I found obtuse, oblivious, thoughtless and even deceptive (our hostess at the BnB type place we stayed at). I spent a chunk of time fuming over how I wasn't getting what I paid for etc. Then in talking to my friend I realized I had had this SAME experience at least three other occasions in the past! Stayed somewhere where the female hostess/proprietor was unwell, unavailable, and not offering the level of service their reviews and marketing claimed they had. And when I read on the train about pain bodies, how we are all born with them, they vary in strength and activity, but when they are recognized (observed with neutrality), when events and the ego conspire to 'feed them' with stories of 'they did it again! this always happens to me! I recognized what had happened to me and in an instant the indignation melted into bemusement and I did indeed observe that the blocked energy of the pain body transmuted into a beautiful kind of awareness. In describing my epiphany to someone today I likened the pain body to the Wicked Witch of the West in Wizard of Oz who dissolves when pure water (awareness/ presence) is thrown on her. Our ego is clever and fancy and often the more 'intellectual' our tendencies, the more 'enlightened' and special we deem ourselves, the more 'defended' and blind we can be. The triggering event that provokes our outrage contains a beautiful gift if we can just allow neutral awareness to occur, even momentarily. All the stories rush in, the list of slights, the reasons our rage /indignation/frustration/annoyance/disgust is so very justified. But if we realize through the gift of a message like Tolle's , that indignation and defendedness is not real power...it's illusory, empty, and can lead to tragedy if left unchecked by awareness. We observe in the present world we live in, the array of fear permutations doing their riotous blooming as paranoia, lack, defensiveness, self righteousness, retaliation, and the endless cycle of misery we know as reality and 'the news' in mainstream media. But those things grow in us too, in the dank closed up world the ego has created in us, trapping us (seemingly). It was the 'pain body' concept that has rocked my world and feels as if the heavens themselves opened and gave me a rope of light to climb out of my pain with. Gave me hope that I don't have to stay 'stuck' in a holding pattern of experiencing variations on a theme of the same old pattern of me 'not getting what I need' story. I think the term 'Pain Body' does not quite do justice to this phenomenon. When we are 'titillated' with schadenfreude, the delight of our 'enemies' or the 'elites' stumbling from their lofty perch, when we thrill to a roadside accident or our pupils dilate and hearts race with excitement in witnessing gratuitous violence, or even the smug horror I feel watching my reality show guilty pleasures....that also is feeding the 'pain body'. It indeed likes to 'feed' and its fare is anything arising out of human suffering. The ego is its handmaiden. The concept can resonate with many mythological archetypes including those in Christianity (I'm not technically a Christian but I was raised so), but for me I have never heard / read it described in terms that are so accessible, and in a manner that is gentle and not as harsh and cold as even some Buddhist concepts of samsara can be. (Tolle describes the Christ figure himself in his suffering as the embodied symbolic 'pain body' which seeks to be transmuted into pure awareness through 'allowing' and non resistance to 'what is'. (Forgiveness in Christian terms). The allowing and nonresistance can then give way to the real power of Presence (Paradise in Christian terms). Fighting and resistance continue the pain, allowing transforms it. This is the paradox of the crucifixion that always puzzled me as a child (why is it good that people suffer? why must we always look at this gruesome imagery or talk and pray about it? why was Judas bad if what Christ did was necessary and preordained? etc.) Amazing that the same message delivered at an earlier time in my life could not take root, but now, when I was open, it has indeed been received. ## Images ![A New Earth: Awakening Your Life's Purpose - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZyyTPejVL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book was not intended as entertainment. *by J***Y on January 4, 2020* I gave “A New Earth” five stars because Eckhart Tolle hit the nail squarely on the head.

After reading a number of the reviews, I was startled by the extraordinary esoteric thinking of many the reviewers. This is hardly typical of the average American mind. It appears the "New Age" movement has grown exponentially and it demonstrates the immense hunger for spirituality that has been so suppressed in American culture. In a way, this is sad because it represents a hunger that much of the institutional church is not fulfilling. The critical issue is that Christian spirituality is meant to be pro-active, generating the powerful forces of love, compassion, forgiveness and caring for others while the new secular spirituality can be extremely self-centered. I have chosen to write this book review from the perspective a Catholic peace and social activist. Regardless, none of these reviews can substitute reading "A New Earth" because one needs to personally taste the absolute eloquence and powerful spiritual insights found in Eckhart Tolle's writing. Reading Eckhart Tolle is transformational. His writing is therapeutic. Chapter three, "The Core of Ego", is definitely a prime instructional source for good mental health. "A New Earth" is one of the most important books of our time. It needs to be read by all inquiring spiritual minds and those struggling to understand the increasing violence and insanity in the world. Eckhart Tolle's book presents a clear understanding of human consciousness, profound spirituality and the beginnings of a radical and evolutionary awakening of a higher consciousness. To arrive at this higher consciousness, Eckhart Tolle delves deeply into the dysfunction of the human ego, both in the individual and in the institutions of power and wealth. To Eckhart Tolle, "The greatest achievement of humanity is not its works of art, science or technology, but the recognition of its own dysfunction, its own madness". Eckhart Tolle states how the love of things can contribute to the domination of the human ego and how a consumer society honors material things as a means to self-enhancement.....it distorts our perception of reality and the true nature of our humanity. To quote Eckhart Tolle: "Ego-identification with things creates attachment to things, obsession with things, which in turn creates our consumer society and economic structures where the only measure of progress is always more. The unchecked striving for more, for endless growth, is a dysfunction and a disease. It is the same dysfunction the cancerous cell manifests, whose only goal is to multiply itself, unaware that it is bringing about its own destruction by destroying the organism of which is a part". With "A New Earth" chosen by the Oprah Book Club, and the numerous appearances of Eckhart Tolle on the Oprah Winfrey show, Oprah has played a big role in elevating the spiritual consciousness of hundreds of thousands of American readers. Oprah must be commended for this. As I understand it, more than any other book in recent history, this book was read and reviewed by the vast majority of book clubs in the U.S. I hope "A New Earth" will be the beginning of much needed maturity in American thinking and in American Christianity as well. Yes, to me, Christianity in America needs to mature in a spiritual way if ever there is to be greater maturity in American culture. A higher spiritual consciousness is the essential element for radical social transformation. As Fr. Richard Rohr, of the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, NM, would say, Christianity in America has become a belonging system, "us" against "them", rather than a system for personal transformation. The tragedy is that Christianity has become in some ways just another institution seeking its own perpetuation and power, dominated by the human ego. The dysfunction of the human ego is what Christ tried so hard to get through to the minds of his disciples, particularly when he told Peter, the "first pope", to "get behind me you devil" (Mathiew 24,15) or "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye" (Mathew 7). Christ had the perfect non-dualistic mind. In fact, addressing the human ego goes to the heart of all of the world's major religions, but Christianity seems to have walked away from it. Christianity chose to do so when it became part of the Roman Empire in 325 AD. Since then, Christianity has had a hard time critiquing the system and the unjust status quo that stems from the dysfunction of the human ego. Christianity has found it difficult to critique the system because it has become a part of the system. The culturally imprisoned mindset of many American Christians is totally contrary to the mind of Christ. As mentioned, addressing the problem of the human ego goes to the heart of all of the world's major religions. But not often enough do religious or spiritual writers critique the institutions of corporate capitalism. Eckhart Tolle's book is most timely to stimulate a new national conversation, particularly when considering America's "never ending war" against terrorism and the near dictatorial powers of the U.S. Military Industrial Complex. It is time U.S. citizens recognize that government propaganda in support of war and the interests of corporate capitalism is a force that strategically preys on the weaknesses of the human ego. Actually corporate capitalism can be said to be diabolical as it seeks to enrich itself by altering human consciousness. This then exaggerates the human ego that has led to a dysfunctional society. Eckhart Tolle never used the word "capitalism". Yet the underlying message of his writing is a severe critique of capitalism. I guess you could say the word "capitalism" has been "sanctified" in America, the unspoken word or the unseen elephant in the living room. Eckhart Tolle avoids saying in a direct manner, "corporate capitalism is intrinsically evil and unsustainable" or "corporate consumer capitalism alters human consciousness and is the destroyer of the human spirit". You have to come to that conclusion yourself. In March 2009, there was a conference at the Center of Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, NM called "The Emerging Church: Christians Creating a New World Together". This conference was attended by a thousand people, about half of whom were Catholic, the rest were mainline and evangelical Protestants and other Christians. Many of those at the conference believed that the future of the church will be the coming together of like minded people from all denominations who seek a more prophetic and contemplative faith. A higher global consciousness that is seeking a more just, sustainable and compassionate world is already a powerful emerging force in the world. The "emerging church" seeks to be part of this higher social consciousness. It seeks to serve as praxis and as co-creator for the evolutionary destiny of humankind to consciously provide for the survival of it's own species. An increasing number of Christians view this higher consciousness as the universal consciousness of the risen Christ. To these Christians, the salvation and survival of humankind is what the death and resurrection of Christ is all about. A more contemplative faith is about centering oneself in Presence, through meditation and contemplation, seeking wisdom through the gift of the Holy Spirit. This is done by embracing opposing thoughts and coming to spiritual discernment. Particularly for a Catholic activist, this centering of the human spirit is the critical means of overcoming personal anger when so involved in non-violent civic activism. Spiritual discernment goes to the heart of a healthy democracy as well. A healthy democracy is truly an act of the human spirit. Democracy is meant to work for the common good and to question the unjust status quo. This is why corporate capitalism hates democracy and seeks to destroy it with the total corruption of the U.S. Congress. I see the teachings of scholars like Eckhart Tolle and the emerging church movement as bringing maturity to Christianity in the 21st Century. It is the coming together of like minded people of all faiths that see the human ego, enticed by the institutions of corporate capitalism, as being the prime cause of social unrest, the scapegoating of others and the waging of war. It cannot be denied, the oppression of global capitalism is the cause of the "blow-back" of terrorism. This blow-back from war and economic domination is in reality the powerful forces of spirituality at work, the liberation of the human spirit. In meditation and contemplation, where we seek to separate ourselves from the dominance of the human ego, we can come to see what the Divine Spirit wants us to see, the holiness of all people, to understand our own brokenness and thus becoming able to forgive others with compassion. Father Richard Rohr stated so well in a September 4, 2009 article in the National Catholic Reporter that another word for contemplation is non-dualistic thinking. "That's what makes people able to be merciful and forgiving. You can't love your enemies with a low level dualistic mind. It's impossible. You don't have the software to know how to do it. So we tell people to love your enemies. A normal Catholic can't do that with the software that he or she has been given. Catholics were never taught they need a different consciousness to understand the Gospel". --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4559333-a-new-earth-awakening-your-lifes-purpose](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4559333-a-new-earth-awakening-your-lifes-purpose) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-11-12*
