 OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK 2025

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“As we welcome a new year, I wanted to revisit the book that had more effect on me than any other book by a living author has had on my perception of how I understand my connection to the world.” —Oprah Winfrey (Oprah’s Book Club January 2025)

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.

Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, A New Earth is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life—and for building a better world.©2005 Eckhart Tolle; (P)2005 Penguin Audiobooks Personal Development Personal Success Inspiring Consciousness Thought-Provoking Meditation Health

Critic reviews

Praise for Eckhart Tolle and his work

"[Oprah] Winfrey calls the book 'a wake-up call for the entire planet, one reader at a time. It helps us to distance ourselves from our egos . . . and to open ourselves to a higher self. . . . It helps us to stop creating our own suffering and obsessing over the past and what the future might be, and to put ourselves in the now.'"
—USA Today

"I would do anything to be anywhere in the vicinity of Eckhart Tolle."
—Jim Carrey

"A gentle journey, one that could take you to a spectacular and very special place of new awareness and deeper understanding."
—Neale Donald Walsh, author of Conversations with God

"One of the best books to come along in years. Every sentence rings with truth and power—the power to bring you into the gap, the space between our thoughts, where we find, as Eckhart so beautifully puts it, deep serenity, stillness, and a sacred Presence."
—Deepak Chopra, author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success

I don't think you need any other book. I have read many book, attended many meditation courses and asked many wise people the secret to happiness. if instructions to the secret of happiness do exist, this might be the closest I can find to it.

I hope this changes your life like it has mine

Having listened gently to it, I have gained insight. You do not have to study, just listen.

It explains why thoughts make our minds murky and robs us of life.

I will listen to it often.
