The title is A New Earth: Awakening to your life"s Purpose

Maybe we need to realize what the EGO is and how it runs our lives.

My wife bought this book. I flipped through it and read a few bits and pieces here and there and could barely stomach the 10 minutes I took to peruse. Some of the stuff written in there is so ridiculous it doesn't even deserve to be critiqued.

It's really poorly written, and badly researched to boot. He didn't know much at all about the history of the major religions, so he just made up a bunch of crap, and used that crap as the basis for forming his own religion.

....so I guess it's no different than most religions.

Agreed.

I was on a debate team and one of the works purposed was the power of now . His philosophy is basically watered down Buddhism with out any sense of commitment or practice. Further more there is absolute disregard for philosophical/theological practice/criticism.

This has just become another reason why I hate Oprah

Read it and loved it. Judging from the millions of sales a lot of other folks were at least interested. Concepts were nothing new, just a different way of viewing and combining other philosophies.
