A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose is a book by New Age author Eckhart Tolle, and a follow-up his first book and bestseller, The Power of Now. The book is focused on spirituality. First published in 2005, it had reached first place on the New York Times Best Seller list for "Paperback Advice" several times by December 2008.Its huge success in 2008 coincided with Oprah Winfrey's selection of the book for her book club in January that year,[3] which was followed by a 10-week live online seminar with Tolle, which started on March 3, 2008, for which over 700,000 people from more than 100 countries, registered on Oprah.com. According to Barnes & Noble, it became the fastest-selling title in the history of Oprah's Book Club, which has selected 61 books since 1996. Within four weeks of the announcement 3.5 million copies had been shipped. By 2009, an estimated 5 million copies had been sold.

The Power of Now The Power of Now was meant to "play its part in … the transformation of human consciousness," by acting as a catalyst to those who are ready for a radical inner transformation or, as he sometimes calls it, for enlightenment. This purpose has affected the format of the book. Tolle has tried to write it in such a way as to "draw you into this new consciousness as you read … to give you a taste of enlightenment.". As a result, the book avoids intellectual discussion and argument. He tries not merely to present the reader's mind with information, which the mind might find interesting, or might not, which it might agree with, or disagree with. From Tolle's judgment, none of that would change readers, who would still be using their minds to judge these new ideas and to respond to them. Rather Tolle uses a variety of devices to try to engage with the reader at a deeper level than that of the mind. The book does not follow a strictly linear sequence of thought. The question and answer format allows for digressions and repetitions. An earlier point can be made again in a new way, or brief summaries of earlier material may help to clarify misunderstandings the questioners still have. The terminology is also varied: Being and Unmanifested, presence and consciousness, acceptance and surrender, enlightenment and transformation. The words are used as signposts, pointing beyond themselves.

The book is cast in a question and answer format, and originated in Tolle's work with individuals and small groups over a ten-year period. Most of the questions arose while he was teaching and counseling. This format allows Tolle to engage with how his readers are likely to be thinking or responding to his teaching, and allows him to move the focus of attention away from a merely intellectual response to the readers' own consciousness.

A New Earth: Awakening To Your Life's Purpose A New Earth: Awakening To Your Life's Purpose is a more detailed examination of the ideas introduced in The Power of Now. Although both revolve around the same theme, there are significant differences. The Power Of Now is in a question/answer format, and focuses on the self-help aspects of Tolle's work; whereas A New Earth is in a more traditional philosophical format, and Tolle spend
