A BRIEF OVERVIEW of Everything is an altogether friendly and accessible account of males and women’s place in a universe of sex, soul, and spirit, compiled by an writer of whom New York Occasions reporter Tony Schwartz says: ‘Simply no you have described the road to wisdom better than Ken Wilber.’

Wilber examines the span of progression seeing that the unfolding manifestation of Spirit, from matter alive to mind, like the higher stages of spiritual development where Spirit becomes aware of itself. In each of these domains, a couple of repeating patterns, and by looking carefully at them, we are able to learn much about the predicament of our world–and the direction we must consider if ‘global change’ is to become a reality.

Wilber offers a series of striking and first sights on many topics of current curiosity and controversy, including the gender wars, contemporary liberation motions, multiculturalism, ecology and environmental ethics, and the issue between this-worldly and otherworldly approaches to spirituality. The effect is an remarkable and exhilarating ride through the Kosmos together with one of the great thinkers of our period.
