I read this book before Oprah recommended it. Despite what the author claims, I think it is one of the most clearly written book on Buddhism that I have read. I read several books by Thich Nhat Hanh, which I really liked, but 'New Earth' was much clear to me and helped me to understand what Thich Nhat Hanh was telling readers all along.
