A New Earth–New Age Vs. Metaphysical

I just thought I should clarify my position a little and say that I don’t really consider A New Earth to be “New Age.” I thought about editing my last post to state as much but decided to just add another. As I said in my reply comment to Semjaza, I would call it more of a metaphysical or self-help book, which is highly influenced by Buddhism. I know a lot of people group all of these together anyway, or at least New Age with metaphysical, so it may not matter, but to me, they’re three different categories. In fact, to me, New Age is a pretty outdated term, and metaphysical makes much more sense nowadays. Of course, I guess to many that this is all just semantics and my own personal take, in any case. I’d love to hear from others how they feel about these terms–if they prefer one over the other, why, or if they feel they’re the same thing. Just in general, although if someone wanted to discuss in which category/categories they place the Tolle book, this is fine, too.
