highly recommended

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.

Integral Vision

This little book is an excellent introduction to Ken Wilber's "map" and would serve as an excellent outline for an introductory course on his theory. It gives a brief description of the states, stages/levels, types, lines and quadrants as well as the concepts of perspectives and holons and 'holarchies.' It's very easy to read and the format is bright and captivating (almost like a comic book.)

Understanding The Universe

As CEO Coach, Poet and author of a leadership book that helps leaders learn how to unleash the genius of teams and corporations, I feel this book is a must read. Ken Wilbar helps you understand the nature of the universe we live in and how to integrate ourselves in that universe. Leaders and people in everyday life can learn a lot in the simple yet profound overview. Paul David Walker Unleashing Genius: Leading Yourself, Teams and Corporations

Really enjoy what Ken Wilber has to say about how we should be in the world. Great read for those interested in transpersonal.

needs more images of levels

This book is a good intro for people not into really working too hard at reading up. It is a good overview but needs more images of all the levels. This aspect is sorely lacking.

An odd little gem

Ken Wilbur is a great thinker, and I enjoy his vision. It was a little hard to discern in this book, though, which seems designed more as an art piece than a practical guide. It's rather like a series of artistic bumper stickers.
