In this provocative and insightful new book, psychologist Michael Eigen presents a phenomenology of ecstatic states.
Ecstasy is a force to be reckoned with -- sometimes creative, sometimes destructive.
Eigen argues that there is an ecstasy that comes through the ever-necessary confrontation of our psychic cores with suffering and degradation, and he shows that when we can learn to be present with these feelings, they add to the tone and texture of our lives, and help us to feel real.
