Oprah’s Favorite New Age Self Help Book

I have to admit, didn’t see this one coming: After flirting along the border of literary and commercial fiction with Ken Follett, Oprah Winfrey has gone into full-scale commercial nonfiction mode by picking A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose, aiming, as PW recounts the broadcast, “to lead people to their higher selves.” And she’s not just bringing Tolle onto the show; the two will co-teach an ten-week online seminar centered around the book’s themes starting in March.
