Helen Schuman Course in Miracles.
I say this even though I personally do not consider the course to be new age thinking.
Still the people who have never read a word of it and have no idea what it says always describe it as being new age.
The course has completly changed my life. I have carefully studied this material for over 6 years. At first glance the concepts it spoke of seemed at the very least, unlikely. They certainly did not match up with the formula consensus reality had given me to work out the problems that I encountered in my life.
That really didn't matter to me by that time because the old formulas had not served me that well anyway. If you are happy with everything about your life this is not a book that you should be reading. If by chance, there are aspects of your life that seem to trouble you, then this is a book that you should be reading.
If 6 years ago you had told me that one simple book held the key to every single problem that I was faced with in my life, I would have laughed in your face, and thought that you must be a fool to say such a thing. Yet after working with the concepts that this book teaches, I feel more strongly about there ability set things right in my life than ever.
I came into this encounter with this material a jaded skeptic, who believed in nothing. I had tried, and rejected nearly every path, seeing truth in none of them. Yes, each seemed at first to be truth, but the initial lift that they gave proved not to stand the test of time.
This material is different, It seeks to correct the errors in thinking that are currently causing the conflicts, and disappointment in our lives before they can happen. It also shows the folly of approaching the idea of love from the conventionally acceptable way. That is, reserving love only for those we have judged worthy of it. It has taught me that this is not love at all, it is only judgment.
This is not a book that you can sit down and read in a night, or even in a week. The concepts that it teaches are so fundamentally different from the ones that are currently causing all the problems in your life, that it will take some time for you to readjust them. Perhaps years.
After all how long has it taken you to get to this point where you truly longed to find a better way. Did you really expect it would happen over night? If this book can help someone as lost as I was, it can most likely help you too. But only if you actually read it!

Anyone who has used 'new age and metaphysics' to make money from people who are so pathetically stupid and gullible to believe in it can be deemed successful.

Eckhart Tolle, Dick Stuphen, Deeprak Chopra are all skilled new age writers.
