About this listen

A Brief History of Everything is an altogether friendly and accessible account of men and women's place in a universe of sex, soul, and spirit, written by author Ken Wilber.

Wilber examines the course of evolution as the unfolding manifestation of Spirit, from matter to life to mind, including the higher stages of spiritual development where Spirit becomes conscious of itself. In each of these domains, there are recurring patterns, and by looking closely at them, we can learn much about the predicament of our world - and the direction we must take if "global transformation" is to become a reality.

Wilber offers a series of striking and original views on many topics of current interest and controversy, including the gender wars, modern liberation movements, multiculturalism, ecology, and environmental ethics, and the conflict between this-worldly and otherworldly approaches to spirituality. The result is an extraordinary and exhilarating ride through the Kosmos in the company of one of the great thinkers of our time.

A remarkable overview of life, the universe, and you. Performances are great and engaging, and the sheer density of ideas is somehow communicated in a soft sweet manner. Definitely worth a re-listen

Bought the title. Listened and painfully realised the content missed completely all I'd been led to expect. Checked the author and discovered the mistake. Did this guy know what he was up to when he concealed a Quazi religious time under the same title by a respected author?
I would like to get rid of this book, hopefully by swapping for the real one. Amazon?
Otherwise it just goes in the bin.

Right title. Wrong author. Ouch!
