Author: Eckhart Tole
A New Earth by German author Eckhart Tolle is a groundbreaking work originally published in 2005 before being selected for the Oprah Book Club in 2008 and featured in a weekly webinar series with Tolle and Winfrey. .
Tole, a spiritual teacher and best-selling author of several books such as The Power Now and The Silence Speaks, writes that most of the struggles people go through are not the result of external factors, but rather what is happening within. Mind
The self-help book invites readers to think and understand themselves. By bringing awareness to human nature and the ego's influence on behavior, the author encourages readers to change their thoughts from negative thinking that may distort their present-moment life experience.
Tole emphasizes the importance of self-knowledge, as opposed to the true self, as a mental model built through habits, rather than facts or realistic ideas of one's true personality.
By doing this, Toll notes, people can adopt a flexible mindset, allow growth, and begin to align their actions with core values and inner wisdom.
The author also discusses the negative emotions that some people may experience during the process of personal growth and challenges them to accept themselves regardless, even when faced with complex emotions.
A New Earth is a great choice for readers looking for deep insights, wanting to shed old habits that don't serve them, and embrace a more fulfilling way of thinking.
