Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The spiritual intellectual Ken Wilber takes on the hottest theory in modern physics, known as the "M Theory," or the "The Theory of Everything." As Wilber explains, it is "a model that would unite all the known laws of the universe into one all-embracing theory that would literally explain everything in existence." Of course this new "M Theory" opens up a can of wormy, slippery questions, which Wilber addresses: "What does 'everything' actually mean? Would this new theory in physics explain, say the meaning of human poetry? Or how economics work? Or the stages of psychosexual development?"

Being Ken Wilber, he couldn't resist answering these questions by folding the "Theory of Everything" into some of his own personal visions and theories. This overlay is presented in his signature straightforward, clearly written style. The upshot is that common readers can easily follow Wilber on a quantum journey and wind up with a lasting souvenir--a scientific and spiritual understanding of how the mind, body, soul, and universe all work together like a never-ending symphony. And that's just in the first four chapters. From there he shows readers the practical applications of this vision--explaining how it could lead to more integrative styles of business, education, medicine, ecology and even how we address world conflicts. Wilber admits that this "holistic quest is an ever-receding dream, a horizon that constantly retreats as we approach it." Nonetheless, he can still take readers on an incredible journey--one that's well worth the price of the ticket. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.



Product Description

Ken Wilber has long been hailed as one of the most important thinkers of our time but - until now - his work has seemed difficult for the general reader who lacks a background in consciousness studies or evolutionary theory. 'A Theory of Everything' is a concise, comprehensive overview of Wilber's revolutionary thought and its application in today's world. Here at last is a book that will allow a general audience fully to understand what all the excitement has been about. In clear, non-technical language, Wilber presents complex, cutting-edge theories and models that integrate the realms of body, mind, soul and spirit. He then demonstrates how these theories and models can be applied to real world problems in fields such as politics, medicine, business, education and the environment. Finally, he discusses daily practices that readers can take up in order to apply this integrative vision to their own, everyday lives. 'A Theory of Everything' is a compelling blueprint for the application of Wilber's ground-breaking theory in daily, practical situations. 'I read Ken Wilber every day so that I can be inspired by the most extraordinary mind of our times.' Deepak Chopra Other books by Ken Wilber Grace and Grit Marriage of Sense and Soul A Brief History of Everything.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating and inspirational read., 3 May 2002
Ken Wilber is an American transpersonal psychologist and philosopher, and has been labelled one of the most important thinkers of out time. He is the author of many books including A Brief History of Everything, The Marriage of Sense and Soul and Grace and Grit.

A Theory of Everything sets out Wilbers' groundbreaking theory and shows how it can apply to the real world of struggle, suffering, frustration and joy. Wilber stresses the importance of the term 'integral', which he sees as essential if 'inner and outer' are to be honoured and to be allowed to work together. His complex cutting-edge theories and models integrate the realms of body, mind, soul and spirit and are presented in a clear and readable way. Wilber looks at the historical development of human thought and behaviour, as expressed through spirituality and science. He illustrates that we can heal the split between spirituality and science by recognising that each is essential to its different territory, and believes that 'spirit' is the causal factor from which all states arise.

The book is divided into three main sections:
 Firstly, Wilber sets out his complex models and theory
 Secondly, he applies these to real world problems in such fields as politics, medicine, business, education and the environment
 Finally, Wilber discusses daily practices that readers can use to apply this integrative vision to their own lives

This is a compelling read, and has the potential to impact forcefully on all walks of life, for those who take it on board and are prepared to work at it. It also, usefully, offers an alternative mindset for those of us who have perhaps passed judgement on how 'spiritual' the worlds of business, politics, medicine or education are.

I cannot claim to understand fully, this exciting and inspiring book (I have not yet studied the 40 odd pages of explanatory notes) but I sense its importance and relevance to me, and my developing beliefs.

5.0 out of 5 stars An introduction to Wilber's ideas on integral development., 19 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Ken Wilber introduces his ideas on all-quadrant, all level integral development in a readily accessible manner. Wilber is inspirational as ever, and this book is an ideal primer and introduction to his other works.

This is my first Wilber experience, and I would highly recommend this book to everyone. Anyone who believes that things need to change in an inclusive and fundamental way, should read this. Don't waste any more time!

The all quadrant, all levels approach.....rarely has anyone impressed me more with the quality of thinking that KW brings to bear.
Published 17 months ago by N. Marik

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an eye-opening book which opens up new vistas.
I was quite bowled over by this book, which seems to me to open up a quite new way of looking at the political scene. It gives a lot of references to other useful work.
