Overall, I liked some of the thought presented in this book, but after I finished, I was left with this feeling that his motive in writing it was to rationalize, categorize, and scientifically prove "breaks in reality" and other spiritual experiences. I find this distasteful considering he criticized this act several times in the book. By his own statements, there are just some experiences that can't be explained by reason or logic.

Jul 24, Whoisabishag rated it it was amazing Shelves: personal-ph-d. No real egg-cracking revelations for me, but I've studied this stuff a lot. A pleasant and fascinating read. I'll be handing it out to people I think could use it.

Provocative title for book that seeks to expand consciousness by breaking "cosmic egg' culture. Did not find edifying, then, not presently, in this age of knee-jerk reactive, social media.

Maybe reduced estimation to self-help in conscious expansion - a premature look for quick-fix when, later discovering, intellectual pursuit is lifelong and partial? Apt metaphor for epiphanies? Aug 23, Rob Springer rated it liked it. This book got me thinking, and that's always a good thing hence three stars. Described in its rerelease as a "New Age Classic," it purports to show the readers paths out of the "egg of rationality.
