New earth is among the most profound texts i have read with regards to spirituality. while tolle's 'the power of now' is more widely proclaimed, it is my opinion that a new earth surpasses it in terms of practical knowledge to be applied and pondered with regards to modern living. the easy to read writing-style, the breadth of topics covered and the originality of the content make this a brilliant read. so obvious a number of times while reading this text with regards to the main occurrences and behaviours in the modern society. do i honestly feel tolles 'new earth' is something likely to come to widespread fruition in the near future. the short answer would be no.
