A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purposes… Can Eckart Tolle’s Book Truly Enlighten You?

In a world where conflict seems to be an epidemic…both conflict among one another as well as the conflict within ourselves…Eckart Tolle’s book “A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose” seems to have come along at the perfect time.

This book is ideal for those who feel a bit – or even a lot – pessimistic about humanity. Or for those who have an inner struggle going on inside their minds constantly regarding their place on this earth, and what they’re true purpose is. Yet instead of just being a replicated “How-To” self help book, it goes much deeper and nearly forces the reader to take a deep look inside him or herself and to find the true inner core of their being.

Eckart Tolle broke out onto the scene in 2005, when Oprah Winfrey decided to make his book “The Power of Now” one of the chosen one’s for her world famous book club. Of course the book went on to sell millions of copies, and put Tolle on the map – which fortunately allowed the world to see a new perspective of life.

Even more so, what it truly did was take complex psychological and philosophical principals and simplify them. It brought more common ideals of eastern philosophy to the masses in the west so that they can be better understood and utilized by the average man.

It’s essentially a very basic study of Buddhism where one is shown how living life in the present is essential to happiness. Tolle helps the reader grasp through very specific exercises how to be more fulfilled by being in the moment, rather than our usual perspective of living in the past and future.

In fact he makes a very good point in “A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purposes” that the past and future actually do not exist, and that the only real moment is NOW. Of course these are not new philosophies and furthermore Tolle did not invent, nor does he claim to have invented these thoughts or principals. But again, what he does do is explain them in more laymen terms so that those of us who aren’t philosophy majors can actually understand them.

However, that’s not to say that you don’t need to have your thinking cap on when reading “A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose”. This book will challenge your everyday thoughts. It will also challenge who and what you believe you are right now. It does so by revealing and breaking down the facade of the “ego” that we all tend to believe is the true us. The book shows us that what we deem as our true selves in our mind is usually nothing more than our “ego-based state of consciousness”…and that this state of consciousness is what creates such negative emotions as jealousy, fear, depression, and all of those emotions that we commonly refer to as “unhappiness”.

For the most part as humans we generally all are trying to “fix” or “better” ourselves. Most people want to be able to live to their life’s full potential…even if we don’t know exactly what that is. This book helps get you closer to that goal by letting you clear all the clutter in your mind that Tolle calls the ego, and get to the heart of who you are. Then and only then does Tolle believe you can truly find your life’s purpose.

Broken down by 10 chapters, which each has between two to eleven sections, the author shows you how to quiet and change your old way of thinking, and teaches you how to make each and every distinct minute of your life count by the simple (but not necessarily easy) act of being authentic.

If you’ve been searching bookshelves, websites, and your inner-self for the answers, you’ll likely not be able to get to the answer simply because of that obstacle that again, Tolle refers to as the Ego. Until you learn to understand where and why that ego exists, and how to quiet it through Eckart Tolle’s book “A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose”… you’ll likely have trouble actually finding that true self.
