Eckhart Tolle states correctly in the first few pages that many who read this book will find it life changing and to many others it will make no sense at all.    Tolle unravels the mystery of the human condition and mind to reveal the true essence of happiness and being.  I believe that he has completely nailed the issue and has left me yearning to read everything that he writes.  It’s very difficult to say who this book would appeal to, but I’ve sent it to several of my friends on a hunch that it might hit the mark.  I personally can’t recommend it to everyone, but to others, it would be my #1 recommended choice.   I’ll soon be reading In the Garden of Beasts:  Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler’s Berlin by Erik Larson.  Among other notables, Larson wrote Devil in the White City Review:  A New Earth:  Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose
