'An outstanding contribution to addressing a root issue of our
time: how to integrate the quest for scientific clarity,
contemplative awakening, and improved personal practices in a way
that is clear, integrates Eastern and Western wisdom traditions,
and offers readers practical methods and tools. It is highly
recommended.'
-- Otto Scharmer, MIT, author of Theory U: Leading from the Future
as It Emerges
'A profound and masterful exposition of the calling, challenges,
and, above all, the immediate and the
harder-to-extract-but-worth-it gifts of meditative inquiry. A
glistening gem of a book.'
-- Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Coming to Our Senses and Arriving at
Your Own Door
'The great turn needed to reverse problems like climate change and
the growing gap between rich and poor is none other than the one
that we can accomplish in our own ways of thinking and living
together. Arthur Zajonc is one of our best guides in the new art of
traversing the narrowing gulf between science, consciousness, and
social change.'
-- Peter Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline: The Art and
Practice of the Learning Organization
'In this beautifully written work, Arthur Zajonc offers gentle and
wise guidance on the path of contemplative inquiry. Drawing both on
the writings of Rudolf Steiner and on the worlds spiritual
traditions, he presents universal truths that are relevant to all
contemplative paths, East and West.'
-- B. Allan Wallace, author of The Attention Revolution: Unlocking
the Power of the Focused Mind
'By the end of this enriching book the reader can appreciate how
contemplative enquiry can extend and refine science while balancing
the inner life of the scientist in the process. It is a book to
savour, a point of departure to a refined range of practices for
mind, heart and will.'
-- David Lorimer, Scientific and Medical Network Review, Summer
2010
