Eckhart Tolle's book A New Earth explores the dysfunction of the human ego, arguing that humanity's collective state of mind is characterized by fear, greed, and a desire for power, leading to widespread suffering and environmental destruction.  The book proposes a radical transformation of consciousness as a solution, suggesting that by recognizing and transcending the ego, individuals can achieve a state of Presence, allowing for true happiness and a more harmonious relationship with themselves and the world. This transformation involves letting go of past conditioning and identifying with the present moment, ultimately revealing a deeper, truer self connected to the divine. Tolle emphasizes the importance of inner awareness and self-observation as tools for this transformation, illustrating the process with numerous examples and anecdotes.  The text also describes three modalities of "awakened doing"—acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm—as ways to align actions with this new consciousness.
