The Integral Operating System includes: • Ken Wilber teaching in person on DVD, covering every component of his model in detail • A 40-page primer for becoming fl uent in AQAL (All Quadrants, All Levels) and learning to adapt any question into the framework of the Integral Map • Two CDs of Ken Wilber addressing the most frequently asked questions about his Integral vision, including how to put these ideas into practice and "live the model" • The Integral Road Map: an accordion fold chart of Ken Wilber’s legendary all-quadrant model, and much more

As one of the most influential figures of human spiritual evolution, Ken Wilber has been called "the Einstein of consciousness." For devoted fans and interested seekers alike, here is an unprecedented chance for you to "upload" Wilber’s teachings as he illuminates the intricacies of The Integral Operating System.

3.0 out of 5 stars mini version of kosmic consciousness, December 6, 2005

By	E. Owen (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Top Heavy, November 30, 2005

By	Aleta L. Miller (Asheville, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Transformational 101 Ken Wilbers' INtegral Operating System, November 10, 2006

By	John Mac Leod (San Rafael, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
