Have you ever read Presence Through Movement? 
Yes! This was an outstanding collaboration with Eckhart Tolle and Kim Eng
It was! The way they focus on how suffering is unnecessary and we bring it upon ourselves mostly was life changing.
Absolutely, it really made me more aware of how certain thought processes can lead to disease. EcKhart Tolle's teachings are amazing for inner work.
Do you have any other suggestions on books that are like his?
The Power of Now is a really popular one.
Is that the book about finding your external identity?
Yes. It also focuses on presence and living in the moment.
Great I definitely need help with that. I've made it about half way through A new Earth. Do you agree that if we make our own minds a better place that Earth will be better overall?
I believe so. The Ego has a great effect on how we present to the world. I believe if we let go of it and live in the present as the book says, we'd all be better off.
