A visionary new worldview of the cosmos, human consciousness and their intimate connection, by a prominent Professor of Religion.
Jeffrey J. Kripal is the Associate Dean of Humanities and holds the J. Newton Rayzor Chair in Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University and is the associate director of the Center for Theory and Research at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. He has previously taught at Harvard Divinity School and Westminster College and is the author of eight books, including The Flip. He lives in Houston, Texas.
One of the most provocative new books of the year, and, for me,
mindblowing
*Michael Pollan*
Wonderfully rich. . . . Reading this book is an embodied
experience; it is yoga for the mind. The Flip is an important book
that deserves a broad readership both inside and outside the
academy
*Reading Religion*
[The Flip] will ignite conversations about the limits of science
and the potential for dramatic shifts in perspective
*Publishers Weekly*
[Kripal offers] a genuinely hopeful vision of what we yet could be
in the mirror of what we have been
*Deepak Chopra*
Kripal makes many sympathetic points about the present spiritual
state of America. . . . [He] continues to believe that spirituality
and science should not contradict each other, and that the
Cartesian split between mind and body can be transcended
*New York Times Book Review*
[His] work will likely become more and more relevant to more and
more areas of inquiry as the century unfolds. It may even open up a
new space for Americans to reevaluate the personal and cultural
narratives they have inherited, and to imagine alternative
futures.
*Los Angeles Review of Books*
