Oprah Book Club Selection: A New Earth
January 30, 2008
TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey has chosen A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle as her latest book club selection.
In a first time worldwide interactive event, Oprah will join Tolle live to lead an online classroom to explore and discuss A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose. Beginning March 3rd, and each Monday evening through May 5th, you can log in to attend.
"Being able to share this material with you is a gift and a part of the fulfillment of my life’s purpose. It was an awakening for me that I want for you," Oprah Winfrey stated when she announced the book selection of A New Earth.
According to Eckhart Tolle’s book description of A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose, "In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are—which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are — and learn to live and breathe freely."
Tolle explains while writing A New Earth, people would ask, “What is the new book about?” And invariably, he said his answer would be, “I only ever write or speak about one thing.” Spiritual awakening.
