Ken Wilber in Dialogue: Conversations with Leading Transpersonal Thinkers

by Donald Rothberg (editor), Sean M. Kelly (Editor)

A passionate conversation among the best minds in transpersonal studies about the ideas of Ken Wilber, the prominent contemporary thinker whose first book, The Spectrum of Consciousness, published by Quest in 1977, launched the transpersonal psychology movement. Transpersonal thinkers taking part in this dynamic dialog combine Eastern & Western spirituality with mainstream fields such as psychology, medicine, physics & ecology to map the human drive toward Spirit. Contributors include best-selling authors Jack Kornfield (A Path with Heart), Joseph Goldstein (Insight Meditation), Michael Murphy (The Future of the Body), Stanislav Grof (The Holotropic Mind) & Jeanne Achterberg (Rituals of Healing). Wilber's spirited response to each probing assessment of his ideas & the authors' rebuttals give readers ringside seats at an engaging sparring match among intellectual & spiritual superstars.

[Erik Graff · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this book on the recommendation of Michael Miley, a long-time fan of Ken Wilber and transpersonal psychology. Michael has had a great influence on me, partly by conversation, partly by recommending books and paths of study. Unfortunately, this particular book made very little impression on me.
