Idiot Savant, or Just an Idiot?
Contributor: 
For anyone who has ever wondered how Ken does the work he does—work that has been compared with that of the true geniuses of humanity— this is a gem of a conversation. With a degree of humility that some might find surprising, Ken explains that his skill at pattern recognition and information synthesis is akin to that of an “idiot savant”: no one knows how it works, it’s not something one can take personal credit for, and all one can do is their utmost to communicate the truths of this gift as best as he or she can—with humor, and lightness, and freedom.

Ken Wilber
Ken Wilber is the most widely translated academic writer in America, with 25 books translated into some 30 foreign languages, and is the first philosopher-psychologist to have his Collected Works published while still alive. Wilber is an internationally acknowledged leader and the preeminent scholar of the Integral stage of human development, which continues to gather momentum around the world. His many books, all of which are still in print, can be found at Amazon.com. Some of his more popular books include Integral Spirituality; No Boundary; Grace and Grit; Sex, Ecology, Spirituality; and the "everything" books: A Brief History of Everything (one of his largest selling books) and A Theory of Everything (probably the shortest introduction to his work). Ken Wilber is the founder of Integral Institute, Inc., the co-founder of Integral Life, Inc., and the Senior Fellow of Integral Life Spiritual Center.
