Reviews

"This is a splendid book, ranging widely across the whole spectrum of Transpersonal Psychology. It will surely become a standard text and do much to render Transpersonal Psychology readily accessible to all those who wish to understand this profoundly important area of study." -- Professor David Fontana, Foundation Chair British Psychological Society, Transpersonal Psychology Section "Michael Daniels has written a book that is certain to become a landmark in the development of Transpersonal Psychology. He not only surveys the current state of the discipline with great lucidity, but also addresses with considerable insight some of its most challenging and topical issues." -- Les Lancaster, Professor of Transpersonal Psychology, Liverpool John Moores University "Shadow, Self, Spirit is one of the best-written and most comprehensive books on transpersonal psychology that I have come across." -- Louis Hoffman PsycCRITIQUES (APA Review of Books) "Michael Daniels has succeeded in writing a thoroughly mulled mead hoping to inform if not enliven a sophisticated reader's appreciation of so-called mysticism." -- A.P. Bober Metapsychology "Daniels covers a wide variety of subjects, ranging from holism and integration to Maslow's advocacy of self-actualisation, transcendence, and modes of mystical experience ... Daniels's [book] can be enjoyed chapter by independent chapter." -- Beta Bishop The Scientific and Medical Network
