ABOUT THE BOOKThe same faith of intuition that guides Eckhart Tolle helps him guide others. As he was living on savings and winnings from a lottery ticket, he managed to complete A New Earth which became wildly popular in 2000 after Oprah gave her stamp of approval.The book's wide influence made Tolle a catalyst for the global rise in consciousness, and so he followed it up in 2005 with A New Earth. Tolle claims that this book's main purpose is not to add new information or beliefs to your mind or to try to convince you of anything but to bring about a shift in consciousness; that is to say to awaken.
