A New Earth - Eckhart Tolle

​What’s in it

The book builds on one of my favourite books, The Power of Now. Which shows you that there is nothing but now. Thoughts about the past, worries about the future are just that, thoughts.

This book builds on that and shows you the road to inner and outer purpose.

What I like about this book is the reference to your attitude to what you do.

You either Accept, Enjoy or have Enthusiasm for something.

Acceptance of what is, doing something because you enjoy it or, do something you enjoy AND have a sense of direction (enthusiasm).

Why I like it

He is right, you know. Eckhart Tolle says if you don't understand this book you're not ready.

At 39 I would have frustratedly put this book aside. Gobbledegook. Woowoo. Spiritual with a capital S.

in other words, not for me.

As it turns out, not for me YET.

So, yes, spiritual it is. And not the easiest of language. But very practical as a guideline.

One I can certainly get on board with. Unlike my 39-year old self.
