Product Description
Review
'Books - Our celebrity panel recommend their books of the year. Benjamin Fry - Psychological Coach 'Ken Wilber has spent an intellectual lifetime trying to 'integrate' almost everything that has ever been thought about in a philosophical or spiritual sphere, into a comprehensive 'map' of how to navigate human understanding. And in The Integral vision (£11.99. Shambhala) hes done a really great job of it. Once you read this book, you'll realise that you have never previously really understood the real context of perspective of anything you've ever said or thought. Its the fastest possible way to appear a lot cleverer on any given topic; like oral Viagra for Christmas parties.' Psychologies, January 2008 --Psychologies, January 2008
Product Description
Suppose we took everything that all the various world cultures have to tell us about human potential—about psychological, spiritual, and social growth—and identified the basic patterns that connect these pieces of knowledge. What if we attempted to create an all-inclusive map that touches the most important factors from all of the world's great traditions?
Ken Wilber's Integral Vision provides such a map. Using all the known systems and models of human growth—from the ancient sages to the latest breakthroughs in cognitive science—it distills their major components into five simple elements, and, moreover, ones that readers can verify in their own experience right now.
In any field of interest, such as business, law, science, psychology, health, art, or everyday living and learning—the Integral Vision ensures that we are utilizing the full range of resources for the situation, leading to a greater likelihood of success and fulfillment. With easily understood explanations, exercises, and familiar examples, The Integral Vision shows how we can accelerate growth and development to higher, wider, deeper ways of being, embodied in self, shared in community, and connected to the planet, which can literally help with everything from spiritual enlightenment to business success to personal relationships.

I personally think that this is a perfect place to start getting into Ken's work. I have read plenty of books on the subject, but Ken's model really enables you to toy around in an intelligent manner with "life, God, the Universe, and Everything." If you don't get it the first time, keep on trying. If it is too basic for you, why in the first place did you buy an INTRODUCTION? The book is well balanced and the presentation is of a very high level (great for visual learners). The figures are great aids for understanding some of the concepts presented. Go ahead and start spinning these ideas into your every day life.

I`ve been a huge fan of Ken Wilbers writings,for many years. Although he seemed to get bogged down in too much system building,last 10 years,I still think he has his Finger-on-the-button,of whats wrong,and indeed what could be made right,in this Crazy,Mixed up World we live in,
Well done Ken

I have read a few of Ken's books and found them hard going, for someone who's starting out this is a good start point. The concept of AQAL, a theory of everything and other concepts that Ken Wilber espouses are presented in a easy to read form, its not too technical and gives some practical examples and uses in the real world.

A disappointment
I hadn't read any of Wilbers books before. I was excited about the hype and up for getting involved so I bought this book - it looked like a good summary. Read more
