    What's In "A New Earth"?

    "A New Earth" will take you on a journey around some of the key questions facing mankind today and some of the answers to age-old questions. Here are some of the things you'll learn:

    · why there is a new human consciousness in the world today
    · the one thing in you that stops you being the person you were born to be
    · why you identify with things that are not really you
    · how to find true happiness in your life
    · why pain is truly all in your mind
    · how to see through the illusion of time
    · the route to being, doing, and having whatever you want in this life
    · why most of us believe in scarcity and why abundance is the true nature of this world
    · how to awaken to your inner purpose
    · the secrets to living a life of enthusiasm, enjoyment, and true success.

    These are only a few of the revelations in this book that will change the way you look at yourself, other people, and the world.

    "A New Earth": Table of Contents

    "A New Earth" has 10 chapters which build in a step-by-step way from where the world is now to the vision of where we can be with a change in consciousness. The 10 chapters are:

    1. The Flowering of Human Consciousness
    2. Ego: The Current State of Humanity
    3. The Core of Ego
    4. Role-Playing: the Many Faces of the Ego

    How To Live Your Best Life

    "A New Earth" was one of the personal development books that prompted Oprah Winfrey to re-define her American TV talk-shows as "helping people live their best lives". The programmes attracted 35 million viewers and resulted in sales of 5 million for the book in North America. One of the converts to the book is movie star, Jim Carrey, who came to realize after reading the book that he spent much of his time thinking about things that weren't real and just in his head instead of living consciously in the moment. Carrey says that the earth-shattering revelation put him in true control of his life for the very first time. It not only changed his relationship to himself but also others. And it is a change that can happen to anyone at any time.

    Succession planning focuses on managing risk and ensuring continuity across all levels of the organization – risk of untimely departures of critical personnel, risk of retirees taking their skills and knowledge with them and leaving nothing behind, and risk of losing high value employees to competitors.
