5.0 out of 5 starsAn Excellent Introduction to a Hopeful Vision of Humanity
By William Andrew on April 24, 2000
Format: Paperback
I love this book and am glad to see it has passed the test of twenty years of use. I found its first incarnation as "Beyond Ego," a wonderful distillation of transpersonal psychology and consciousness research, and am happy to recommend what is now a completely rewritten, updated, and even better version to clients and friends today. I appreciate writing that makes learning easy, and the current "Paths Beyond Ego" succinctly introduces its readers to the key ideas of more than thirty five of the most influential thinkers in the field, thus saving the effort of wading through the hundreds of original texts.
Although easy to read, this is a rigorous work that integrates scientific and psychological thinking with the spiritual traditions to create a comprehensive transpersonal vision of the highest possibilities of what human beings can be. The media is full of the wonders of physical technology, while this book offers a much needed counterbalance by examining the less commonly known wonders of psychospiritual technology. One of the most interesting questions this book explores is how something non physical like spirituality can be studied with scientific rigor rather than being left adrift in the realms of arbitrary belief, superstition, and dogma.
"Paths Beyond Ego" examines some of the major ideas, practices, goals, and experiences, that underlie the spiritual traditions and the new discipline of transpersonal psychology. It does this in a non-denominational way that avoids getting lost in the beliefs and details of any particular path or religion.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book on transpersonal Psychology
By A Customer on February 18, 2003
Format: Paperback
This book is a wonderful series of essays for those of us interested in transpersonal experiences. It was very inspiring and helped me experientially get closer to transcendence. The richness in content comes from many people discussing the transpersonal experience from many different perspectives. I'd highly recommend this book. Another book on transpersonal psychology I'd recommend is "The Ever-Transcending Spirit" by Toru Sato. It is the best book that explains what transcendence really means! It explains these things in a way that everyone can understand! Both books are excellent!

5.0 out of 5 starsTranspersonal Psych 101
By dharmaDOC on August 22, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Paths Beyond Ego is a compilation of essays and articles by philosophers, psychologists and scientists that sheds some light into the field of Transpersonal Psychology. Transpersonal Psychology is a younger branch of Psychology which strings together various theories from Humanistic, Jungian, and other schools of thought, while adding a new "Transpersonal" level emphasized in many ancient Eastern traditions.

If you are interested in blurring the boundaries of science and mysticism, this book is for you. Paths Beyond Ego is considered one of the basic "textbooks" for Transpersonal Psychology. Additional information about Transpersonal Psychology can be found in Maslow's: "Toward a Psychology of Being" and it's extension: "Farther Reaches of Human Nature".

5.0 out of 5 starsAn Easy Read
By bootzen on January 28, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I was so relieved and pleasantly surprised when I opened up and began to read "Paths Beyond Ego." As this was a required text for my university class of Transpersonal Psychology, and just one of many text books I have to read, this wonderfully written book makes study time a joy. So often school text is very dry and technical so as to require the use of a dictionary every paragraph, just to get the idea of what point the author is trying to relay. Roger Walsh and Frances Vaughan use brilliant examples and metaphors in the form of stories and poems that keep your interest and explain difficult concepts in the simplest ways. This is a wonderful addition to any library that focuses on transpersonal issues.

5.0 out of 5 starsThose who cannot appreciate this work should develop their intelligence and seek knowledge on the topics presented
By Benjamin Raoul Barre on September 26, 2009
Format: Paperback
I spent time reading as much as I could of this book for free using the amazon search function and I think this book is amazing. People who write negative reviews are doing a disservice. This needs to be a five star book. If you cannot understand it, simply realize the fault lies mainly with your own unfamiliarity with the concepts. Perhaps you should read a simpler book which will not have as much to offer but will at least be on par with your current intelligence level.

5.0 out of 5 starsTerrific~
By Jennifer Allen on November 10, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is one that I will definitely keep on my bookshelf for a long, long (long!) time! I bought it as a textbook for a class on transpersonal psychology. It has a great variety of topics in transpersonal psychology, short, intelligent articles that are challenging and weave well together.

The editors have gathered writings by *the* big names in transpersonal psychology so that the reader has a good, foundational understanding of topics like meditation, transpersonal therapies, dreaming, and psychedelics. These aren't just a series of article written separately and compiled in a volume randomly, most (if not all) of the articles were written specifically for this volume and so they interweave and relate well to one another, sometimes referring to other sections or articles or authors to help the reader.

This is an excellent read.
