Tony Schwartz says: "No one has described the path to wisdom better than

Ken Wilber."

Wilber

examines the course of evolution as the unfolding manifestation of Spirit, from

matter to life to mind, including the higher stages of spiritual development

where Spirit becomes conscious of itself. In each of these domains, there are

recurring patterns, and by looking closely at them, we can learn much about the

predicament of our world—and the direction we must take if "global

transformation" is to become a reality.

Wilber

offers a series of striking and original views on many topics of current

interest and controversy, including the gender wars, modern liberation

movements, multiculturalism, ecology and environmental ethics, and the conflict

between this-worldly and otherworldly approaches to spirituality. The result is

an extraordinary and exhilarating ride through the Kosmos in the company of one

of the great thinkers of our time.
