The Philosopher Who Shaped Generations of Visionaries
“...I've described him as a ‘teacher of teachers,’ so seminal is his thinking. His work is an essential education in self-actualization. He is a gift to everyone in the conversation about releasing unlimited potential within ourselves and the world.”
Marianne Williamson
Author and activist, spiritual philosopher
“The twenty-first century literally has three choices: Aristotle, Nietzsche, or Ken Wilber.”
Jack Crittenden Ph.D.
Author of Beyond Individualism
“Ken Wilber is a national treasure. No one is working at the integration of Eastern and Western wisdom literature with such depth or breadth of mind and heart as he.”
Robert Kegan
Harvard University
“His teachings on holism, consciousness, and integration helped me understand the world from a high level. A cosmic lens. Wilber answered my burning questions that other philosophers couldn’t.”

The Ken Show
In Zen Buddhism, the word kensho describes a sudden glimpse or insight into the nature of reality. At Integral Life, the “Ken Show” intends to offer you a very similar opportunity.
Recorded between 2018–2023, these are some of the most important and far-reaching dialogues in Integral Life’s history.
Ken's Integral Theory
Ken is the originator of the world's first truly comprehensive or integrative philosophy, aptly named “Integral Theory”. As Wilber himself puts it: “I'd like to think of it as one of the first believable world philosophies” — something that is becoming increasingly necessary in order to navigate and thrive in today’s world.
Wilber explains the need for an Integral Approach in the following way: in our current post-modern world, we possess an abundance of methodologies and practices belonging to a multitude of fields and knowledge traditions. What is utterly lacking however, is a coherent organization, and coordination of all these various practices, as well as their respective data-sets. What is needed is an approach that moves beyond this indiscriminate eclectic-pluralism, to an “Integral Methodological Pluralism” — driving toward a genuine “theory of everything” that helps to enrich and deepen every field through an understanding of exactly how and where each one fits in relation to all the others.
