We hope that you have been enjoying the Oprah Winfrey and Eckhart Tolle free ten week webinar based on the new Eckhart Tolle book entitled A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose (Oprah’s Book Club, Selection 61)
In case you have been busy or simply forgotten about the webinar it is not too late to join in. You can go to oprah.com and still sign up for the webinar.
Once you are signed up you can access downloads of the audio or video and even download a text transcript of past shows in pdf format. There is even A New Earth Webinar workbook that can be downloaded.
I have enjoyed the webinar but my only complaint is that Oprah seems to have taken over the show.
I was listening to the webinar with my thirteen year old daughter when she innocently asked me if Oprah is the one who wrote the book A New World or Tolle?
She added that at times Oprah goes on and on and Tolle barely gets a word in.
We both agreed that we would like to hear more from Tolle and a little less from Oprah.
Does anyone agree?
The Main theme of this webinar is that to be happy and to lead successful and fulfilling lives we need to live in the now or in the present because “now” is all we have.
This philosophy flies in the face of traditional psycho therapy that focuses mainly on discussing and working on your past problems and issues.
I have discovered that Tolles idea of harnessing the power of now is not a new one.
In fact check out this quote from Richard Carlson, PH.D The Author of Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff from his book You Can Be Happy No Matter What: Five Principles for Keeping Life in Perspective
“Much has been said about “living in the moment.” Virtually every spiritual teacher through history has suggested this solution. In fact, this may be one of the oldest and wisest pieces of advice for living a happier life.”
I highly recommend that you check out You Can Be Happy No Matter What to gain another perspective on living in the present and of course you will also want to read Tolle’s book The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
Please enjoy the enlightening video from Oprah below that is based on “A New World.”
Get Ready to be Awakened!

I agree with your opinion. I wanted to hear more from Eckhart. Maybe I’ll just look for some more videos from him alone. Thanks though for telling us about him
