A Brief History of Everything

A radical excursion into the history of consciousness which examines the course of evolution as the unfolding manifestation of the spirit.

---

A Brief History of Everything' is an engaging, accessible and friendly excursion into the history of consciousness. Wilber examines the course of evolution as the unfolding manifestation of Spirit, from matter (the cosmos) to life (the biosphere) to mind (human consciousness), including the higher stages of spiritual evolution, when Spirit becomes conscious of itself. In each of these domains of evolution, he finds, there are recurring patterns, and by looking closely at these patterns, we can learn much about the predicament of our world and the direction humanity must take if global transformation is to become a reality.




Written in question-and-answer format, 'A Brief History of Everything' is a compelling and provocative polemic about some of the most important issues of our time.
