Reviews

"Arden's scholarship is important because it informs us so clearly in this day of over-specialization that the human experience is not a creature of specialization, but grows from a wealth of influences that can only be understood by standing at the nexus of many disciplinary perspectives."-Allan Combs University of North Carolina Author, Radiance of Being

"As we enter a new millennium, the relationships between spirituality, science, and the concept of consciousness are being redefined. This is one of the clearest and most inspiring visions of what the new picture may be."-Larry Dossey Executive Editor, Alternative Therapies Author, Healing Words and Space, Time, and Medicine

?Arden's book is an excellent attempt to help us move beyond an overdependence on the science of the past century and broaden our focus, methodology, and explanatory power by moving into the much larger framework of contemporary science and the developing science of the 21st century....Arden's book is an excellent way to get started in expanding our personal and professional horizons and in expanding the future of psychology.?-Charles Tart in the Journal of Contemporary Psychology
