Buddhist Psychologists Rick Hanson, Stephen Gilligan and Richard Chambers’ thoughts about Essential Wholeness, Integral Psychotherapy, Spiritual Awakening and the Enneagram
Both profound and practical, this book integrates cutting edge neuroscience, esoteric wisdom, a heartfelt appreciation of the natural world, and powerfully effective psychological methods. It’s genuinely brilliant. ‘Rick Hanson, Ph.D., author of Buddha’s Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom’

Eric Lyleson has written a beautiful and helpful book on living life as a journey of awakening. I highly recommend it! Stephen Gilligan, Ph.D. author of The Courage to Love and Therapeutic Trances: The Cooperation Principle in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy
Eric somehow manages to distil a lifetime of experience, spiritual practice and psychological learning into a very accessible, comprehensive model of human psychology and behavior. Not since Ken Wilber have I read such a concise and useful synthesis of psychology, spirituality and ecology. I find it incredibly useful in my work as a therapist and as a guide on my own spiritual journey. Richard Chambers, PhD clinical psychologist, co-author of Mindful Learning and Mindful Relationships

Some other comments:
A beautifully detailed understanding and explanation of the cycles of change and patterns of growth in human behaviour. Eric very eloquently merges his vast experience as a Psychologist with in-depth knowledge of Spirituality and the Enneagram to provide a unique framework for navigating change and a model for understanding personal transformation. All captured in a novel, captivating and very engaging manner. As someone who is new to the Enneagram, but with a love of personal development and desire to deepen my own level of Spirituality, I found Essential Wholeness to be a a wonderful companion and guide. A highly recommended and enjoyable read. Amazon.com reader
Took a while to read as I often went off into deep thought. The last chapter was my favorite that put it all together. I will start re read tomorrow! Daily food for thought
