A New Earth (2005) emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment and transcending the human ego to achieve true happiness. Tolle argues that our ego traps human consciousness in dysfunction, leading to harmful behaviors like consumerism and ideological conflicts. To ensure the survival of both humanity and the planet, Tolle advocates for an evolution of consciousness.
