The Collected Works of Ken Wilber

Grace and Grit is the compelling story of the five-year journey of Ken Wilber and his wife Treya Killam Wilber thru Treya''s diagnosis of breast cancer treatments and finally death. During this period Ken put his own work on hold in order to offer full-time support to Treya. In fact it would be nearly ten years before he published a new full-length theoretical study (Sex Ecology Spirituality Volume Six of this series). Nonetheless this personal narrative contains a wide-ranging commentary including critiques of both conventional and New Age approaches to illness. Ken''s account of the couple''s struggle to integrate this catastrophic event into their spiritual practice combined with excerpts from Treya''s journals produces an unforgettable portrait of health and healing wholeness and harmony suffering and surrender. The book contains a new introduction and index.
