| Synopsis Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now,
Eckhart Tolle presents readers with an honest look at the current state
of humanity: He implores us to see and accept that this state, which is
based on an erroneous identification with the egoic mind, is one of
dangerous insanity. Tolle tells us there is good news, however.
There is an alternative to this potentially dire situation. Humanity
now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to
create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical
inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one. In
illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes
in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates.
Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new
consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are--which is
something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we
are--and learn to live and breathe freely.
