as one who has written extensively about the interior life, meditation, and psychotherapy, Ken Wilber—the leading theorist in the field of integral
psychology—naturally arouses the curiosity of his numerous readers. In response to this curiosity, this one-year diary not only offers an unprecedented entrée into his private world, but offers an introduction to his essential thought. "If there is a theme to this journal,"
Wilber writes, "it is that body, mind, and the luminosities of the soul—all are perfect expressions of the Radiant Spirit that alone inhabits the universe, sublime gestures of that Great Perfection that alone outshines the world."
Wilber's personal writings include:
Details
of his own spiritual practice

Advice
to spiritual seekers

Reflections
on his work and that of other prominent theorists in the field of integral

psychology

His
day-to-day personal experiences

Dozens
of his short theoretical essays on topics from art to feminism to spirituality

to psychotherapy

Amazon.com Review

Okay, Ken Wilber fans, you've waited long enough. The intensely private potentate of the integral path has broken his silence and published a year's worth of journal notes. Pull up a chair. You've entered the living room of one of the most intriguing spiritual theorists on the planet. He'll tell you a little about his work schedule, friendships with publishers, artists, and intellectuals, and you'll talk late into the night about bringing together the best parts of all the world's wisdom traditions. Hold on tight, though, because the conversational pace can be dizzying, bouncing from Nagarjuna to Plotinus, Derrida to Nagel, feminism to Zen, psychotherapy to vipassana. And this isn't just superficial soul-babble. Give it a while to sink in. Take a sip of wine. Move on to more expansive talk of higher states of being. Wilber will describe his own meditative experiences and how they relate to his revision of the Great Chain of Being. As daylight breaks, you'll gaze into the early twilight, wondering how you failed to notice all those hidden dimensions within and beyond an otherwise two-dimensional world. --Brian Bruya

From Library Journal

Something of an iconoclast, Wilber (The Marriage of Sense and Soul, LJ 2/1/98) has created a unique spot for himself in contemporary thinking on spirituality. Guided to some degree by notions such as the "perennial philosophy" expounded by Aldous Huxley and by thinkers such as Huston Smith, Wilber's work draws on a wide array of religious, philosophical, and psychological systems while simultaneously disparaging what he considers to be the superficial eclecticism of various New Age movements. Wilber devotees will, no doubt, find this record of a year in his life essential reading. For most readers, however, distracting and largely uninteresting details of Wilber's life (he's dating a swell girl), cliched passages describing various states of spiritual awe, often opaque theoretical discussions, and a thinly veiled general tone of self-aggrandizement will tend to obscure the many highly original and thought-provoking passages scattered throughout. A frustrating book by a controversial thinker; only for collections with a demonstrated interest in this author.?Mark Woodhouse, Elmira Coll. Lib., NY
