About the Author
Ken Wilber is one of the most widely read and eminent American philosophers of our time. The author of more than 22 books, including A Brief History of Everything (Shambhala, 2001) and A Simple Feeling of Being (Shambhala, 2004), his writing has been translated into more than 20 foreign languages.
From AudioFile
Perception, awareness, mind states, psychodynamic discovery, and approaches to functional integration are the subjects of this multimedia lesson. In addition to a DVD of workshop segments, the programs audio CDs contain loosely organized telephone interviews with the author and recordings of archival workshops. The intellectual and practical aspects of the program eventually become comprehensible. But to anyone but die-hard Ken Wilber fans, the arrogance in the authors speaking voice and the overly casual production style will overshadow its content. However, once listeners adjust to the programs abrupt sequencing and indifferent connection with listeners, the payoff is a collection of insights that integrate diverse personal development approaches, psychological theories, and spiritual practices from around the world.

mini version of kosmic consciousness,
By
This review is from: The Integral Operating System: Version 1. 0 (Audio CD)
I found some new tidbits in this format that were very helpful, but in general, I had heard most of this on Kosmic Consciousness.
IOS is probably best suited for those who don't want to sit through 12 hours of interview. If you like a lot of material, Kosmic Consciousness might be better. It's probably a matter of personal preference. I'm really looking forward to the Integral Life Practice Starter Kit to be published in Dec 2005. I think that the more extensive format is my preferred way to access to Ken Wilber and I imagine that the depth of coverage I'm looking for to follow up Kosmic Consciousness is going to be on ILPSK. Good stuff on here, but if you have KC you probably don't need this. This could be a good intro to KW for those never exposed. Start w/ the DVD's and skip around until you find a topic you're interested in. Do the DVD's first and then follow up w/ the written material. That's my suggestion at least.

Transformational 101 Ken Wilbers' INtegral Operating System,
By
This review is from: The Integral Operating System: Version 1. 0 (Audio CD)
It's sometimes hard to understand Ken Wilburs' vision.( for me anyways) Now he has put together an "integrated" package using the metaphor of 'techspeak" to present an Integral Operating System for living. The users guide is short and to the point, outlining the theory and practice, while providing a step by step practice complete with a foldout poster for easy visulaization of the four quadrants. There are four dvds with additional media and converstaions with Ken Wilber explaining the four quadrants of the Integral Operating System. The packaging and presentation of the the message and the media is clean, direct and easy on the eye. The computer techspeak can be taken with a little wink of the eye, but his vision and plan comes across clearly. I have been reading various books by Wilber over the last year and this collection makes his vision a lot more understandable and easier to grasp at with a day by day action plan for implementation. You wonder if there will be an upgrade fee for version 2.0.

Top Heavy,
By
This review is from: The Integral Operating System: Version 1. 0 (Audio CD)
I found the Integral Map to be interesting and informative. That we are indeed integral beings, each aspect of ourselves overlaps into other dimentions of our human existance.
His bottom line of living an integrated life is essentially all there is after taking away the layers of grids and labels. I felt there was a real lack of depth and areas were touched upon briefly and then the next item was qued up. I came away with some new insights but in general was very disappointed.
