Wilber's reputation as a hermit has always slightly jarred with his work. He does not give interviews, does not lecture - he avoided talking to anyone for three years when writing SES. How can this be true of a man whose work is full of such insightful humanity? One Taste is the diary which plugs the gap showing insights into his daily practice, life, holidays and a summary of his integral model of the Kosmos. He comes over as very much walking the talk; a practical as well as theoretical philosopher of our age. The book is light and does not provide the intellectual and spiritual challenges of his theory books or the agonising passion of Grace and Grit. It does, however, satisfy a reader's curiosity about this enigmatic figure and answer the many critics who've publicly challenged Wilber to reveal his personal experience of the Transpersonal Realms. It also presents a thoughtful approach for those interested in the implications of his theories to living a modern life. If you are interested in the man, buy it. If you are interested in the theories, buy Theory of Everything. If you want the full theoretical picture, take a couple of days off work and read SES.
