Customer Reviews

Excellent synergy for Eatern Religion and Western Psychology
Perhaps one of the best books on the market trying to understand the relationship between Eastern Religious and Philosophical traditions and the development of Western Psychology. Ken Wilber develops an interesting and perhaps complete picture of the paradigms which these two world try to deal with. The book also helps to explain why the East never really developed psychology and why the West almost lost it's mystic heritage. "No Boundary" synthesised much of what I thought that I understood, but could never explain.

The most lucid description of what some call "enlightenment"
I found this a pretty easy read, and very good, although a little repetitive. As far as writing style goes, he needs to find different ways to quote people (think, "paraphrase"). I understand the need for repetition though; his thesis is really very unnerving and hard to fathom if one is not familiar with these concepts, although personally I find it irrefutable. When we truly realize that we are inseparable from each other, we will finally stop hurting ourself. If you want a no-nonsense, rational, plain-speaking and clear explanation of the highest goal of much of Eastern and some of Western philosophies & religions, do not hesitate to read this book!

An excellent book - It opened my eyes
This is a very well written book that takes the reader on a journey through different levels of consciousness. I found that it helped me get to grips with feelings that I have had for years but never really worked out why. A good all round book on Life, the universe and everything.
