How to put Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory—which synthesizes the teachings of the world’s great wisdom traditions—into practice in all aspects of everyday life, so you can reach your full human potential

“A masterpiece guide of grounded, intelligent, self-transforming wisdom integrating the insights of all the great traditions of truth.” —Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit
 
Over the last thirty-five years, Ken Wilber has developed an Integral “theory of everything” that makes sense of how all the world’s knowledge systems—East and West; ancient, modern, and postmodern—fit together and can elevate our awareness. Drawing on science, psychology, human development, spirituality, religion, and dozens of other fields, Integral Theory is a revolutionary framework for understanding ourselves and the world we live in.

Now there is a way to not just think Integrally, but to embody an Integral worldview in your everyday life.

Integral Life Practice is not just a new approach to self-development and higher awareness, but a way of making sense of—and making best use of—the existing treasure trove of insights, methods, and practices for cultivating a more enlightened life. It offers a uniquely adaptive approach to awakened living that’s suitable for everyone: people with busy careers and families, college students, retirees, even hardcore athletes and yogis. It’s geared for devout—and irreverent—people of any religion, or no religion!

This highly flexible system will help you develop your physical health, spiritual awareness, emotional balance, mental clarity, relational joy, and energy level, within a framework that integrates all aspects of your life. Combining original exercises, vivid examples, cutting-edge theory, and illustrative graphics, Integral Life Practice is the ultimate handbook for realizing freedom and fullness in the 21st century.

    Not much a reviewer myself, but I'm dropping to give my five star support review for this excellent book.

    This book is the bluprint to my growth process. My progress since taking on this approach has been profound and managable.

    As many people I went through a lot of self-help until I derived into a more spiritual approach to growth, renouncing all my old library sensing I had found a higher and holier place. Gettin in touch with the integral theory has put my feet on the ground.

    Everyother path I followed before seemed fragmented... not anymore. Conscious evolution and awakeining are superb goals to have in life. Evolution as in stages, maturity, growth, ethics, compassion... and Awakening to the essence of who I am. Both make more sense together than what they ever made sense when they where apart.

    Get a hold of the Big Mind DVD's as well if you don't have them, excellent value, excellent cause, excellent results.

    ps. its a pitty that the integral inquiry in the book dosen't make reference to the Big Mind process as the ILP starer kit does, but basically the instructions are to talk to the non-seeking non-grapsing mind and sit as it during the period of meditation.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing...but with some reservations
    Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2009

    Here is the condensed version of what was originally a very lengthy review.

    Pros:

    -Wonderful introduction to a wholly comprehensive personal and spiritual development framework (this fact alone makes it worth the purchase).

    -Most complete work I've seen regarding personal development. Definitely a "desert island" book. Read it and see what I mean.

    Cons:

    -The book tries to do too much. By "distilling" many practices, and I think they sometimes water them down and make them less effective. Also, complex spiritual ideas such as the dark night of the soul (p.372) are reduced to half a page.

    -Ok, so, here is my biggest difficulty, and one that I could elaborate on, so I'll be as brief as possible.

    My difficulty has less to do with ILP than with Wilber's AQAL framework, which is the foundation for this book. I think he fails in trying to be truly integral and unbiased. Granted, I do not think this is possible, and I applaud his efforts and think he comes pretty darn close.

    Still, I think he could be a little more honest regarding his perspective. The majority of the exercises in the book, and many of its underlying philosophies, are decidedly Eastern. Given Wilber's background in Mahayana Buddhism, this is understandable. But again, I wish he were more explicit about this.

    For instance, I have thoroughly studied Eastern spirituality, but have recently been more interested in Western forms of paganism, because they resonate with more on a more aesthetic, emotional, and even tribal level. My current interest is in integrating mythology in spiritual practice Jungian style, but according to Wilber this brings me down a notch to his "mythic" level of development. Also, the practices I have had the greatest success with, magick and NLP, were not mentioned because of this bias. I was strangely offended by this.

    Overall, though, I think this is a great book to establish a more comprehensive perspective. Just don't take it as gospel, and use your own intuition and emotions as guidance.

    Perhaps I feel now that I knew most of what was written here. But I didn’t know it in such clear language - only in intuitions and hunches. Therefore it was a relief and epifany to read it laid out so consistently and clear.

    I believe I will return to this book, almost as a book of reference, when the hunches get muddy or hazy again.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Didn't live up to the 5-star rating
    Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I haven't finished reading the book yet but feel comfortable rating it. The reason I bought this book is that I had recently read Ken Wilber's "No Boundaries" and "A Brief History of Everything" and they had a deep and profound impact. I felt like "No Boundaries" was the most important book I had ever read. Both books were rich in ideas and eloquently written. They changed my life. So, based on Wilber's writings, and the fact that this book was so favourably reviewed, I purchased it on Kindle. It hasn't moved me to any great extent. I find the writing simplistic and uninteresting. There are a million ways one can put integral theory into practice. So the practice aspect didn't do much for me. And the theory aspect went on and on, my eyes eager to skip over superfluous, new agey-type lines.

    However, I appreciate what the authors have tried to do, to communicate integral philosophy to the mainstream, and they do a respectable job of it. Their writing is perfectly fine, but they are attempting to interpret and explain someone else's complex ideas in a way that comes across to me as flat and banal. Maybe if I hadn't read Wilber's books, it wouldn't affect me this way. It's just that I'm hungry for something different and cutting-edge. His books are in spades, this book isn't. However, without his integral theory, this book would never be. And since it seems to be affecting other readers in a highly favourable way, I also commend and celebrate it.
