Psychologist Steve Taylor has devoted his career to investigating the process of enlightenment - or awakening, which more accurately captures the original meaning - as both a scientist and a spiritual seeker. In his research, he has found that spiritual awakening is more common than generally believed and that it sometimes occurs spontaneously, outside the context of religion or even traditional spirituality.
In his trailblazing books "The Leap" (2017) and "Extraordinary Awakenings" (2021), Taylor discussed case histories of dozens of people who have experienced mystical shifts in consciousness. His follow-up, The Adventure, is a practical and experiential book based on his research. The Adventure offers specific practices for catalyzing spiritual transformation, along with guided meditations, contemplative exercises, lyric poems, and inspirational stories.

Taylor leaves readers with an intriguing possibility: that each individual awakening is a forerunner of our collective awakening as a species, foretelling a momentous change in human consciousness. The adventure is just beginning.
