The Perennial Philosophy (Perennial Classics)

Beauty Stands And Waits
About twenty or so years ago, I had an awakening of sorts. Strange how life can be. One minute you're slicing a banana atop your corn flakes, and the next minute you're looking straight into the Light that all things are created in and out of. And after I had that experience of "knowing" that life was something more than this external form, I went on a rather mad search to see if I could find ...

Almost a Perfect World
This book was truly amazing at certain points i was so touched by what i was reading that i was forced to read out loud just to hear these words spoken, Huxley takes commend of the english langage as no other author and creates an almost perfect world if only the savages were included. If this is what the future holds i welcome it with open arms a sad truth.

Mood controlling pills and uniformity
As I watch the commercials for Zoloft and other psychiatric drugs that are frequently encouraged to the general public today thanks to advertising, I can't help but smell the essence of the stew descibed by Huxley in this wonderful book simmering in our own modern kitchen. It is controversal to advertise tobacco but it is perfectly suitable to make the drugs once used to control the mentally ...

Try this first
I read this book with skepticism, I did the exercises with skepticism, and I watched my prescription go from -2.25 to -1.25 in three months. Not bad for a method that "doesn't work" according to the people who sell me glasses, contacts and laser surgery. I highly recommend anyone considering laser surgery to atleast check this out first. Someone please republish this book.

Politically Incorrect, Yet Spiritually Relevant
Aldous Huxley was ahead of his time. And yet, he was right where he needed to be. In a time when modern society had not quite caught on to the mind-expanding powers of psycho-active drugs, psychology was still interested in how they might be used in a beneficial way. Thus, Huxley, one of the most dedicated thinkers of a generation, was able to participate in and produce feedback for, a ...

The best book you can read. period.
If you haven't read Brave New World and 1984, I suggest you read both of those first. Then you can truly appreciate this work of staggering insight into the world of today. This is the book (or collection of essays) written by Huxley in 1958, 27 years after he wrote Brave New World. He begins by reevaluating his previous work and Orwell's 1984. Then he will open your eyes to some of the ...

Aldous Huxley's prelude to his earlier novel, 'Brave New World' which was written almost thirty years earlier.

Published in 1962, but still relevant!
I absolutely loved this book! Eckhart Tolle in "The Power of Now" actually references this book and that is how I heard of it. Despite the fact that much of the book is ruled by long monologues from the characters, I enjoyed it all. Huxley had an interesting view of what a society can become when it takes the best of the Eastern and Western worlds combine.

Point Counter Point (Flamingo Modern Classics)

Flamingo, 1994

Huxley is the 20th Century Thackery!
Many years ago I saw the Masterpiece dramatization of Aldous Huxley's "Point Counter Point." I have finally found time to sit down and read the original text. This is a wonderful novel. Huxley's command of English is striking. He is an artist- except that he uses words and not paint brushes to fill in the canvas. Some have compared "Point Counter Point" to Thackery's earlier work "Vanity Fair." ...

An interesting twist on an alternate reality
This book is a great classic written by an amazing author. it brings us almost 700 years into the future to a world where Ford is God and humans beings are manufactured and designated into different mental classes at birth. they range from the athletic and intelligent Alpha Plus to the slow and dim witted Eplison. This book follows the story of Bernard Marx, an out-of-place Alpha Plus who feels ...

Crossroad General Interest, 2003

A five-plus star book
This book is a collection of 26 essays and two poems written by Aldous Huxley during the last twenty years of his life. Each essay is about man's relationship with God, with the environment and with his fellow man. Huxley started out life as an agnostic and, at times, took a sarcastic, almost caustic attitude towards religion. However, certainly by 1939, his attitude had changed, as those ...

After Many A Summer, Does the Swan Indeed Die?
After Many a Summer Dies the Swan is a book set in America in the thirties. Jeremy Pordage, is an English scholard who was hired by millionaire Jo Stoyte to study and decipher the Hauberk papers which Stoyte acquired in England. Jo Stoyte, with his millions, his castle on the hill, his acquisitions, and his mistress, young Virginia, may very well have been Huxley's parody of William Randolph ...
