On a New Earth
Tolle, Eckhart. A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose. New York: Plume, 2006. pp. xiv + 316. eBook. $12.99.
A New Earth is, sadly, worse than The Power of Now. It’s mostly the same content repackaged — a little more on the “pain-body,” but not much else. The thesis is that your life’s purpose is to awaken and simply be in the Now, and that everything else is secondary. That’s fine, and probably even true, but Tolle already said it in the earlier book, and said it less boringly.
