This is a must book for those interested in integral studies. While much of the work is similar to Ken Wilber's at least in structure, this book in many ways transcends Wilber's works with some real original thinking. Not surprisingly, the author is an authority on integral thought without trying to parrot Ken Wilber's view. Combs is a very clear and insightful writer, with no polemic axe to grind nor does he cling only to his view.

I would have to agree with the previous reviewer. This book is, I daresay, soon to be a classic within the transpersonal/integral/consciousness field. It is a pure reflection of the author with a generous dose of inspiration and objectivity (as far as Wilber is concerned). Though I understand the caution with which recommendations are concerned I still feel that this book is recommended reading for all students of transpersonal, consciousness, and transformative disciplines. For those who are familiar with Wilber's work, this is especially true. For all other purposes, it is a hallmark of future evolutionary development. Do not pass it up.

Yours truly, Ph.D. student at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology

Still reading the book but it appears to pull together man spiritual and science concepts togther into a readlily accessible paradigm or integrated model for all persons seeking a model to understand all the various histotical traditions in one book. Very readable in my opinion. Ken Wilber also would be a great supplement if you like this book.

The book never arrived. I have written two emails and sent it to the sender but have not even received a reply. I have a writting project that is on hold until the book comes, I am very disappointed.
