Friday Freebie! A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle

newearth.jpgYears ago, I stumbled across two Oprah’s Book Clubs books in the library maintained by the volunteers in the health care center that I worked for. Both were great reads, and it led me to discover that most books recommended by Oprah are well-written, and sometimes inspirational books. But, what do you expect? Oprah is the supreme being of all things televised.

Oprah recently shared how A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle, has enlightened her life. In fact, Oprah and Tolle have teamed up to teach an exclusive 10 week online class, in an attempt to awaken you too.

With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived “in the now.” In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. 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.

This book is so fantastic, and is in the process of changing me, that I am happy to say that I have a brand new copy for todays giveaway! I will even resist the urge to highlight the passages that have leaped out from the page and slapped me in the face.
