Reviews
"Life always gives you what you need, and right now it has given you this book to use as a guide or companion through challenging times. It contains a great deal of precious wisdom, expressed in the straightforward, clear, and down-to-earth language that Steve Taylor is so good at."
― from the foreword by Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now and A New Earth

"A wonderful synthesis of modern research and timeless wisdom that makes the mysterious process of spiritual awakening more comprehensible than ever before."
-- Peter Russell, author of From Science to God

"This book is both insightful and inspiring. Building on the foundations of his previous books, Steve Taylor's expertise and profound understanding of awakened states shine through and culminate in his proposition of an evolutionary leap that awaits humankind. For anyone who is interested in or has experienced an awakening, this book is not to be missed, as Taylor eloquently conveys an in-depth understanding of this fascinating phenomenon. It's an excellent book that everyone should read."
-- Dr. Penny Sartori, author of The Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences

"It's high time we got clearer on what enlightenment is and isn't. The Leap is readable, important, and long overdue. It offers a thorough portrait of this long-mysterious state with care and love."
-- Dr. Robert K. C. Forman, author of Enlightenment Ain't What It's Cracked Up to Be and Mysticism, Mind, Consciousness

"In The Leap, Steve Taylor takes a radically new approach to spiritual awakening, suggesting that the experience is more common than one might suspect, is not bound to any religious or spiritual tradition, and may be playing an essential role in human evolution. The Leap is filled with provocative statements, some of which you may agree with and some you may disagree with -- but you can be sure that this is a book you will never forget. It establishes Steve Taylor as a major spiritual author and teacher, whose lucid and articulate writing will evoke wonder and wisdom among readers."
-- Stanley Krippner, PhD, Alan Watts Professor of Psychology, Saybrook University

"A wonderfully detailed demystification of awakening within and without traditions that is a pleasure to read and offers hope for our dangerous times."
-- Claudio Naranjo, author of Healing Civilization and designer of the SAT Programs for personal and professional development
