Buddhism + western psychoanalysis = be here now 
By being present and aware (being pure consciousness) in each moment,
I can neutralize the ego, that mental invader, made up of automatic, repetitive, unhappy thoughts, that activates in my mind, all the time.
From the silence of consciousness, I look at my thoughts, continuously flowing, reopening every day my old wounds.
I am not those thoughts, those psychic invaders, and the emotions and suffering they cause.
I am pure, peaceful Consciousness and I am observing them.
In the Now, they fade away and I am peace, true joy and happiness (some times!!).
Truth but a Rehash of Hinduism, Budhism, and C.S. Lewis 
There is unquestionably truth in A New Earth, however, it's not a very accessible read, and I am grateful that the book was loaned to me. As many other reviewers have stated, it's pretty much a rehash of Hinduism, Budhism, and also C.S. Lewis. In one of his books, C.S. Lewis states that our only connection to Eternity is now.(Perhaps Lewis got that from the Hndus and Budhists as well, or perhaps spritual teachers arrive at the same conclusion.) And, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to conclude that fear truly is the root of all evil. These same ideas of the ego (lower self) and being in the moment are espoused by Deepak Chopra. Another book that readers might find more accessible is the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying.
The ego-- cant' live with it; can't live without it. Since we exist on this plane where the ego is very much present, many of us need a more organized and concrete presentation to satisfy the ego so that we can actually bypass it and become conscious. When something is presented in such an esoteric way, many people who are becoming conscious may not be able to wrap their minds around it. That being said, there are many voices who reach different people. Many find something in this book that speaks to them and that is a good thing. Much of it resonated with me, but that's because I had aleady been exposed to these ideas from other sources. Others will go elsewhere for a voice they understand. Hopefully, we're all the better for the "teachers" we find.
OUTSTANDING!
Simply the best book with the most information in the easiest to understand format in todays market.

"The highly anticipated follow-up to the 2,000,000 copy bestselling inspirational book, The Power of Now With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived "in the now"? In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence. The Power of Now was a question-and-answer handbook. A New Earth has been written as a traditional narrative, offering anecdotes and philosophies in a way that is accessible to all. Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, A New Earth is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life and for building a better world."
