anthropology it's not
This book contains some interesting information, but is mostly a hodgepodge of insight nuggets from new age philosophy, popular quantum physics and as another reviewer mentioned, Joseph Campbell."Peak Evolution" is highly repetitive and could have been edited to half the length. The logical connections to reference material are loose, and the rational foundation even moreso. Droning references to author-coined phrases hammer down the concepts, but get tiresome.
Despite the annoyances, there was something to like about this book. Maybe it was the brazen style of the author, with shoot-from-the-hip references to "The Holographic Universe," that give you a prescription for maximizing your potential as a human being.
If you are ready to open your mind WAY up and take a magic carpet ride through your omnipotence as a reality creator, go for it, but be prepared to wade through 300 pages of wordiness and some unscholarly conjecture. This author has some creative ideas and brings together some interesting scientific and philosophical principles, but she just doesn't make it gel: pretty much a pseudo-scientific new age guru for agnostic fat-cats in search of a soul. At least that's my take.

Pathfinding into our Highest State of Being
Great Book! Themes: Growth and change place us in the Unknown. And in the "Unknown" we must 'pathfind'. How do we 'pathfind'? We use our inner-guidance system; as energetic, vibrational beings we have a resonance or frequency. Lauren Holmes teaches us to use it as a guiding force. Seek work or a career at your frequency and you may find yourself in "flow state"; a state of altered consciousness where we can have 'spontaneous knowledge', 'quantum leaps' in change. I love this book! Throw out the detailed plans! Lauren Holmes suggests plans are okay, they have their place, but think about it, how many plans do go awry? Nature moves in non-linear ways; and since we are part of nature we also can access this intelligence which is within us and outside of us. Then watch out for the cluster of coincidences and synchronistic events that come your way, as we are "pulled" along by forces that support and lead us toward our highest fulfillment. An intricate exploration of "follow your bliss" (Joseph Campbell). It's a little complex at first, because it is well done. She even gives free teleclasses each week, so readers can discuss and ask questions. Great stuff! Gotta go...I am feeling a tug to do something else at this moment, and I trust it! Similar Products
