I actually didn’t read my first book of Ken’s until AFTER I’d already spent 8 days in his workshops (I-WET and ILP—highly recommend both) and after I’d spent a couple hours chatting with him in person in Denver. (I was just getting started with Zaadz and we had an awesome chat about all things Integral/community/Internet.)
Although not an Integral-wonk, my worldview has fundamentally shifted thanks to Ken and his awesome team at the Integral Institute. I owe a huge debt to them for what I’ve learned and how I’ve transformed—intellectually and in my day-to-day life.
In this Note, I’m not going to go into any level of detail on the theory (for those in the know: I’m not even going to talk about AQAL (gasp!))—the new Integral Vision book is an awesome intro to all that stuff. Instead, I’m going to fill up this overview with some of my favorite Big Ideas that we can apply to our lives today. In the process, if you’re new to Ken’s work, I hope to inspire you to get into it and if you’re already an Integral wonk, I hope to inspire you to find even more ways to LIVE the Integral ideas and ideals that have captured our attention.
