After reading Eckhart Tolle's Power of Now several years ago, (which is another highly recommended spiritual manual - in my earlier list of 20 readings) i am pleasantly surprised that although talking on the same subject matter, Eckhart Tolle manage to bring in new material and content that is inspiring and helpful to my practice in his new book A New Earth.
Eckhart Tolle is a contemporary spiritual teacher who is not aligned with any particular religon or tradition. but you will find him describing the subject matter like a true blue Zen Master ;)
Subject matter - The movement from unconscious (identification with our mind/ego) to the conscious (breaking free from ego/residing in awareness/presence), which is nothing but the essence of our spiritual journey. In A New Earth, the workings of the ego, that which blocks our true nature, is described with uncomplicated clarity. Then the author moves on to talk about moving away from ego into presence and awareness with equal clarity.
Highly recommended reading for all, i hope u will find it as helpful to your practice as i have found it =)
