Oprah Book Club Picks A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose
January 30, 2008 – 1:30 pmPosted Under: bookshelf
This morning Oprah announced her new book club selection by saying she was “breaking new ground” with her “boldest choice yet”: A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle. Saying she was “over the moon excited” about the book, Oprah described it as an extension of her life’s mission, “to lead people to their higher selves.” She also announced that the book would be the subject of her “first worldwide interactive class,” a free ten-week course she will co-teach with Tolle on Oprah.com live Mondays at 9 p.m. EST beginning March 3.
I personally wish she’d pick The Plural Thing: Spiritually Preparing for Your Soul Mate, but I’m keep hope alive and holding on. It may be her NEXT selection. You never know.

I agree,
Once Oprah puts you in the game, the sky is pretty much the limit.
Question: Does Oprah only pick NY Times bestselling authors?

I think Oprah “makes” New York Times Bestselling Authors

“I think Oprah “makes” New York Times Bestselling Authors”
TRUE. This might be one pick that I might read. I like reading non-fiction books that are meant to help me learn something to improve my life in some way. I haven’t decided if I was going to sign up for the online workshop.

I read “My Stroke of Insight” in one sitting - I couldn’t put it down. I laughed. I cried. It was a fantastic book (I heard it’s a NYTimes Bestseller and I can see why!), but I also think it will be the start of a new, transformative Movement! No one wants to have a stroke as Jill Bolte Taylor did, but her experience can teach us all how to live better lives. Her TED.com speech was one of the most incredibly moving, stimulating, wonderful videos I’ve ever seen. Her Oprah Soul Series interviews were fascinating. They should make a movie of her life so everyone sees it. This is the Real Deal and gives me hope for humanity.
