Summary

Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle takes us beyond our own lives to show that we now have an opportunity to birth a new. more loving world. This involves a radical inner leap of consciousness from the current identification with our ego to an entirely new way of thinking about who we are. For this to happen, the very structures of the human mind would need to undergo an evolutionary transformation.
