Has anyone read, or currently reading, Oprah's latest Book Club selection A New Earth??

I just got the book and I'm on page 1

I just ordered it and sent it to my daughter. I can't wait to hear you reviews when you get past the first page Julie.

I'm looking forward to reading it and I'll report back with my review!

I'm number 136 on the waiting list at the library. It's going to be a long time before I get my hands on this book

Omgosh, that will be quite the wait

If you do get it sooner we could have had a mini forum book club

I am going to call around and see if i can find this book tommorow, i would love to do the classes every monday night online.

What is this book about. Is it a New Age, higher power, look within type of book? Cuz I don't need one of those.

I'm about 1/2 way through it and it is a tough read. It is of a philosophical nature and I need to re-read quite a few of the passages twice-so it is slow going.

I really have felt a shift in the way I am thinking about things and have felt a release of the negative thoughts within myself.

If you haven't started or are just at the beginning phase of the book-give it a fair shot-it is a hard book to get into but well worth it.

I can't wait to read about all of your thoughts about this book. Did anyone sign-up for the on-line course?

I like it so far. I like the things it's reminding me of. I'm about 70 pages in.

So far, for me, it has tones of As A Man Thinketh & The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success.

I think you kind of have to take the chapters like pieces of the puzzle in the beginning.

I'm sure it has wonderful food for thought if you're up for that sort of thing. Me, I'm kind of ready for something that reminds me what I want for myself in life - what's important to me.

Yeah, it's another one of those books. I'm another one of those people.

I'm 3/4 through the book.
In regards to the book:

I stopped posting to the forum a few weeks ago.
That was a good decision for me. I didn't remember why, but now I do.

Speaking of the pain-body* (a name this book gives it),
it feels good to be Present again.

*Just so nobody misunderstands, I'm not insulting the forum. What wasn't working for me was the connection that I had to it. I recognize, at the same time that this forum (@Celiac.com) is such that there are many types of people and many different belief systems included in the collective body, and that I may seem to be a loon. On the subject of the collective body, this forum, also, is not, for me, an appropriate forum for discussing the teachings of this book (not that it would be beckoned, I would assume). I think this forum is useful and necessary and a wonderful outlet, a way to connect with others that understand, and a place where people can learn, and it has been for me, at times, as well.

Summed up:
I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't think this stuff is hogwash.
