Review
Wilber's unprecedented work offers diamond-like clarity, brilliance, and many-faceted reflection, and his writing speaks with an unencumbered authority. -- NAPRA Review
One of the most important thinkers of our age, and certainly the leading authority in the field of transpersonal psychology . . . The scope of his scholarship and of his understanding of the psychological development of the individual from early body awareness to the higher (and ultimately non-dual) experiential levels is quite simply breathtaking. --The Middle Way
The first truly comprehensive map of the human mind. --Larry Dossey, author of Be Careful What You Pray For . . . You Just Might Get It
Ken Wilber is a national treasure. No one is working at the integration of Eastern and Western wisdom literature with such depth or breadth of mind and heart as he. --Robert Kegan, Professor of Education, Harvard University Graduate School of Education, and author of In Over Our Heads
In ages to come, historians may well view Wilber's work as the pivotal insight that legitimized the return of consciousness and spirit to our age. For this exciting page-turner, psychology owes him a millennial debt. --T. George Harris, founding editor, Psychology Today and American Health
In a single publication Wilber strides over the entire history of psychology to create new and comprehensive strategies for human survival in the next millennium. --Don Beck, coauthor of Spiral Dyanmics
Integral Psychology is so all-encompassing, lucid, and well written that Ken Wilber deserves the recognition of having single-mindedly brought conceptual order to psychology of the East and West. --SusanneCook-Greuter, coeditor of Transcendence and Mature Thought in Adulthood
