The Flip

One of the most provocative new books of the year, and, for me, mindblowing

Michael Pollan

Wonderfully rich. . . . Reading this book is an embodied experience; it is yoga for the mind. The Flip is an important book that deserves a broad readership both inside and outside the academy

Reading Religion

[The Flip] will ignite conversations about the limits of science and the potential for dramatic shifts in perspective

Publishers Weekly

[Kripal offers] a genuinely hopeful vision of what we yet could be in the mirror of what we have been

Deepak Chopra

Kripal makes many sympathetic points about the present spiritual state of America. . . . [He] continues to believe that spirituality and science should not contradict each other, and that the Cartesian split between mind and body can be transcended

New York Times Book Review

[His] work will likely become more and more relevant to more and more areas of inquiry as the century unfolds. It may even open up a new space for Americans to reevaluate the personal and cultural narratives they have inherited, and to imagine alternative futures.
