At last, an accessible overview of New Age spirituality
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Many people wonder where the main themes of the New Age have actually come from, and that's why I was attracted to this book. Although the author shows how both Eastern and Western wisdom traditions have contributed to New Age spirituality, I think that one of the strong points is the historical coverage of the personal growth movement from Maslow onwards. There are also good summaries of the consciousness frameworks proposed by key figures like Ken Wilber, Stan Grof and John Lilly, and a worthwhile overview of the shamanic, neopagan and magical aspects of the New Age as well.The book is well researched and very accessibly written. And I notice from the jacket blurb that Michael Harner and Terence McKenna also think it is excellent. I agree...!
