Bücher der Reihe The Collected Works of Ken Wilber

Volume Four of The Collected Works of Ken Wilber includes:    •  Integral Psychology, a concise version of Wilber''s long-awaited textbook of transpersonal psychology, presenting one of the first truly integrative models of consciousness, psychology, and therapy.    •  Charts correlating over one hundred developmental and evolutionary theories, ranging from ancient mystical traditions to modern theorists.    •  Essays on human development, art, meditation, spirituality, yoga, women''s studies, death and rebirth, science and mysticism, and transpersonal psychotherapies.    •  Wilber''s thoughtful replies to criticisms of his work.

Grace and Grit is the compelling story of the five-year journey of Ken Wilber and his wife, Treya Killam Wilber, through Treya''s diagnosis of breast cancer, treatments, and finally, death. During this period, Ken put his own work on hold in order to offer full-time support to Treya. In fact, it would be nearly ten years before he published a new full-length theoretical study (Sex, Ecology, Spirituality, Volume Six of this series). Nonetheless, this personal narrative contains a wide-ranging commentary, including critiques of both conventional and New Age approaches to illness. Ken''s account of the couple''s struggle to integrate this catastrophic event into their spiritual practice, combined with excerpts from Treya''s journals, produces an unforgettable portrait of health and healing, wholeness and harmony, suffering and surrender. The book contains a new introduction and index.
