  - Transpersonal Psychology needed a definitionSo many people, both professionals and laymen, just don't get it when it comes to transpersonal psychology (the word still gets a spelling underline in the word processor). This textbook is well organized and provides an excellent insight into the concepts. I would highly recommend it as a starting place for those who would like to know more as the bibliography and references can point to more extensive material. The book is also well written and edited as they kept the chapters in a logical sequence and short enough to complete in a minimum amount of time. Rating:  - Excellent resource!Because transpersonal psychology relies heavily on first hand (subjective) experience, it is extremely difficult to discuss this academically. Despite this difficulty, this book manages to explain and explore the phenomenon quite successfully. This is book covers the transpersonal experience from many different viewpoints and is an excellent resource book for research in this field. If you would like a shorter and more simple explanation of the transpersonal experience, I strongly suggest "The Ever-transcending Spirit" by Toru Sato. It is an absolute gem and should be read by everyone interested in transpersonal experiences! Rating: - Put it on your shelfThis book is a great reference book and if you are teaching a class in transpersonal psychology this should be the textbook for the class. It is very informative and the author is very clear in his understanding and dissemination of the information provided. It is a must have book. Rating: - Very Good overviewI am trying to learn more about transpersonal psychology and transpersonal practices. This book more than did the trick. It gave a good overview of the different angles the field touches. It gave great anectdotal stories as well. It is defineity a must have. It introduced many of the fathers of the field and there perspectives; Jung, Maslow, Wilber, Freud, Assogolini. It also showed the contributions of spirtiual traditions:Buddhism, Hinduism, Shamanism, Christianity, Kabbalah. It introduced many techniques used:guided imagery, past life regression, meditation, breathwork, psychedelics.
