For Whom the Bell Tolle's

Have you read it yet?

"It" being Eckhart Tolle's latest work of awakening, A New Earth.

I can tell you it certainly Tolle's for me.

If you liked Power of Now, you're gonna love this. If I may, my advice for you is to go with the audio version. The book is a terrific, fairly quick read but for me the audio version just delivers more. A lot more.

Maybe it's just more Eckhart per minute...I like to toss out the possibility that there's some transmission happening in the audio medium. Who knows but that's the way it seems to work for me and all whom have made the switch.

ET's voice is a particularly odd blend - a subtle German accent, covered by a slight English properness rhythmically presented with the tone and cadence of a Monk. I find it quite engaging and interesting - and wildly effective.

Of course, there's no telling how it will land on you. Regardless, roll with it and you'll learn to love it.

Also, know that he read the entire book, unabridged, which is nice. No wondering what you missed.

I've probably listened to the Power of Now some 25 times - each time is an experience. After the broad strokes of PON, A New Earth is a little like "Tolle unplugged." He simply doesn't leave any wiggle-room as he attacks the ego like GW goes after weapons of various levels of destruction (aka damage).

A New Earth gets two big thumbs up from me. Do pick this one up - it should be required reading for all on this spinning ball.
