When Oprah Winfrey announced that A New Earth was her sixty-first book club selection, the book soared to number one on the New York Times bestseller list, selling more than five million copies in print, and remaining at the top of the list for twenty-two consecutive weeks. . In A New Earth, the famous spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle describes how our false-ego state of consciousness works. The purpose of the book is to bring about a shift in consciousness, or awakening, according to him. An essential part of awakening revolves around realizing the false ego, our attachment to things, to the past, and to enemies. In Union with Life, Eckhart Tolle selected the key phrases and paragraphs, the jewels of the book, that he felt were the most important, and rearranged them so that readers could focus on the most powerful ideas. Beautifully packaged and with an evocative cover art and design, it will make the perfect gift for anyone who has a worn-out copy of A New Earth and wants to gain deeper insight into this iconic work.
