How do you define "new age" philosophy?That will help me to give you an answer.
The Wiki page for "New Age" describes it pretty well. It's the "self help" aspects of it that I find extremely distasteful, though the philosophy is otherwise quite sound.Google it, look around in this section.

I agree with doppelgänger and Guitar's Cry.
I kind of like New Age philosophy, but there's too much that it's associated with now that I'm not keen on at all. Things like The Secret and quantum quackery that just ruin it to me.
Some of the things I find a bit distasteful are the way they re-interpret stuff, indigo children, divination and magic, the "age of Aquarius" stuff and then the Secret and ideas that seem to make the universe into a sugar daddy (Cosmic Ordering, etc), not to mention the "I learnt it from a Cherokee master" claims for how someone knows something.
