  “It’s rare to find a textbook that is both extremely informative and enjoyable to read. Psychology of the Future has to be one of the first ones I’ve ever come across. I think that textbooks are often like lecturers. The good ones provide information that you want to learn about. After the lecture or book is complete, you have a few tidbits of knowledge that you can relate to your own life or work. The great ones, though, provide examples so that you can immediately see the potential uses of these theories and concepts. You leave these lectures or books filled with ideas and an eagerness to learn more about these subjects.
  
  Psychology of the Future is definitely in the later category. Each chapter brought an entirely new concept, theory, or method (from the potential biographical nature of birth experiences to underlying causes of emotional disorder through the types of spiritual emergencies to death experiences) that was just as engaging as the previous one. By the time I was done the book, I had a list of topics that I wanted to look at in greater depth and a number of possibilities about how these concepts could relate to my current work. ”
