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
At last, an accessible book for anyone who wants to understand Ken Wilber's thought and its practical applications - both personal and global - in the quickest, easiest way possible. The key components of Wilber's Integral Approach - a tool for "making sense of everything" - are distilled here into a short, simple, and elegant presentation with full-colour illustrations. What is the Integral Approach? Suppose we took everything that all the various cultures have to tell us about human potential - about spiritual growth, psychological growth, and social growth - and tried to identify the critically essential patterns that connect these pieces of knowledge? What if we attempted, based on this extensive cross-cultural study, to create an all-inclusive map that includes the best elements from all of the world's great traditions? The Integral Approach provides just such a map. Using all the known systems and models of human growth - from the ancient shamans and sages to today's breakthroughs in cognitive science - it distills their major components into five simple factors, factors that can be verified in our own consciousness right now. Whether we are working in business, psychotherapy, law, medicine or ordinary everyday living and learning, an Integral Approach ensures that we are utilizing the full range of resources for any situation - which means a greater likelihood of success. By providing a basic understanding of the key elements of the Integral Approach - including simple exercises and familiar examples from areas such as moral values, spirituality, health, business, ecology, and relationships - "The Integral Vision" shows readers how they can accelerate their own growth and development to higher, wider, deeper ways of being, and achieve greater excellence in personal and professional life. All of this is presented in a fun, flashy, accessible manner, so that readers easily understand how the Integral Approach is an exciting, valuable and relevant addition to their daily life.

2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment, 22 Sep 2008
By A. Fowler - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

There is some interesting information here but the book as a whole seems to be underdeveloped. I'm left thinking that it came about as a way to bring in some extra cash. I really mean that. Glossy stock photos and lots of pointless pages. Punchy looking chapters which didn't really say much. I would be ashamed to have released this book with my name.

I felt cheated having spent my money on this and definitely a bit put off. If you're looking for a brief introduction to Ken Wilbers ideas try hunting round on the internet first. Everything in this book is there. Alternatively, if you want something more it might be worth trying out another one of his books. I assume they're better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ken Wilber Introduction, 4 Dec 2007
By John Farrell (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars As described: "A Very Short Introduction", 6 Dec 2008
By Hector (Bham, UK) - See all my reviews
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.
