When I first heard of The New Earth, and saw interviews with all of these celebrities, saying how profound this book was and how much they enjoyed this book,I decided to go buy a copy. I am an avid reader, and could not make it past just a few chapters, and thought to myself what am I missing here. Well I want to tell everyone that struggled with this book to not give up on reading it, I just recently decided I would try again, skipped to the middle of the book and could not believe how enlightening this book really is. So I encourage everyone to read this book, the lessons of this book give you life long advice on how to deal with your life and the situations we all find ourselves in. The book allows you to see yourself as a small piece of the big world around us, and to not be as selfish as we all tend to be.
