I just finished this book last night...
I was a bit skeptical about reading this book at first. I just started exploring the world of "self-help" sort of books, but I randomly picked it up at a coffee house and started perusing the first chapter and was immediately hooked by his idea of the ego and consciousness. After that, I couldn't put it down and the ideas from the book are still resonating through me.
Its strange that once you read this book, regardless of your total opinion of what is said, you really retain the message and actually start to become more aware of the world around you. You start to acknowledge the inner preconceptions you have regarding different people and situations.
I read this book from a Christian perspective and enjoyed every moment of it. Tolle is a "spiritual" mentor that bridges multiple faiths but, I believe that the truths he speaks in a new earth transcends religions. It speaks to the very nature of what being human is all about.
