Sandra answers “Question. I've been trying to read Eckhart...”

Annie Kostyk asked this question about A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose:

Question. I've been trying to read Eckhart Tolle since he was first on Oprah. I can't read it. It's like I'm reading another language, but I don't know that language. Anyone else have that problem?

Sandra Like, duh. There are nuggets of wisdom in this book, but he really makes you work for them and doesn't bother to define any terms along the way. Canno…moreLike, duh. There are nuggets of wisdom in this book, but he really makes you work for them and doesn't bother to define any terms along the way. Cannot imagine how he ever got it published, and the new version could have used some judicious editing. The author may be brilliant and insightful and extremely learned, but he is NOT a very good writer.
