Eckhart Tolle writes about metaphysics in regular modern-day terms without attaching religion to it. As a result, people don’t feel dragged down. In A New Earth, he disentangles the ego and its nature and describes how it struggles to hold itself together. He writes about the one-upmanship, needing to be the one who knows — all the ways we strengthen the ego. These are essential things, and Tolle writes about them in a very accessible way.
If people read his writing together, it would be impossible to continue doing some of the terrible things we do for the sake of ego. I think the whole world should sit down and read A New Earth together. There would be no Israelis vs. the Palestinians if we all read this book. We would have to stop pretending, stop defending our own personal stories.

What book do you wish the whole world would read together?
I totally agree with She Cat. The man is an abusive control freak and things will only get worse if you stay.
Hi Bonnie,
Hi Bonnie,
Girl, don't lose hope. Maybe there will be someone in those two merged churches, there just might be someone there who catches your eye, eh? Stay hopeful.
Sending love to ANYONE will make YOU feel better. It is not about condoning the actions of someone who is clearly bent on destruction, or the terrorists in the Boston bombing or anyone who would take away life or liberty of others. I wonder if any
This is one of my favorite books, one I read over and over again. The most important thing he teaches, imoh, is to stay in the moment.
Me too! Love his teachings.
None Violent Communication: the Language of Life by Marshall ROSEBURG and the writings of Tolle got me out of a deep dark rut I found myself in due to work related issues when I was faced with a bully at work – first time in my life and it took me weeks to reconcile that is what had happened and to get back up and into the game again – off work for over 4 months!
Back on my feet and staying there thanks to Rosenburg and Tolle!
