The Consciousness Revolution

Very cool book. A discussion between Ervin Laszlo (an important scientist), Sanislave Grof (a new-age "transpersonalist"), and Peter Russel (ecologist and philosopher) debate art, science, religion and consciousness as part of the world around us. Includes a specific meme: that the world is in trouble and if we can change the 80s style "me-ness" of people we can save it.
