Man by Nature is based upon the ongoing brain research that is providing new insight into how our brain functions. It shows how the left-brain Interpreter function makes it possible for us to be instinct-driven tribal territorial animals - consistently quarreling and warring with one another - and yet to be oblivious of the instincts provoking our behavior. The book identifies ten traits characteristic of human tribes, and develops a "Tribal Programming Theory of Human Behavior" that explains most observed human behavior remarkably well: It makes the case that human tribes are based primarily upon shared tribal beliefs that are defended as fiercely and irrationally as territory, thus making it almost impossible for religious and political tribes (for example) to discuss issues rationally. It concludes by weighing what will be required for the world and its tribes to eventually live in peace, given the new knowledge of our human nature.

Jesus taught that he wanted his followers “to be one, that the world might believe.” But instead of oneness Christianity presents to the world a medieval patchwork of denominational and non-denominational fiefdoms, all quarreling and fighting over nuances of scriptural interpretation. Whenever it's been attempted to merge the doctrines and practices of two or more denominations the efforts have almost always failed, and in the few times they succeeded dissenting members broke off to create even more denominations. … It’s no wonder Christians have essentially given up on trying to make Christianity “one.” Now, however, the growing knowledge about how our brain functions is enabling us to end the impasse. It can now be recognized that our compulsive quarrelsome behavior is not happenstance but is the result of unconscious species “programming” predisposing us to be warring, tribal territorial animals … just as described in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. While our predispositions sway us to be “Good” to those within our tribe and “Evil” to those outside our tribe, we – unique among animals – have the ability to override our predispositions with beliefs … we do have Free Will. “Wheat, Weeds, and the Reform of Christianity” incorporates this new knowledge to show why the teachings of Jesus really are the means of salvation for Mankind, why we routinely distort them to our own tribe’s advantage, and how Christianity can overcome this innate tribalism to finally become “one.”

Over the last thirty-five years, Ken Wilber has developed an Integral "theory of everything" that makes sense of how all the world's knowledge systems—East and West; ancient, modern, and postmodern—fit together and can elevate our awareness. Drawing on science, psychology, human development, spirituality, religion, and dozens of other fields, Integral Theory is a revolutionary framework for understanding ourselves and the world we live in. Now there is a way to not just think Integrally, but to embody an Integral worldview in your everyday life. Integral Life Practice is not just a new approach to self-development and higher awareness, but a way of making sense of—and making best use of—the existing treasure trove of insights, methods, and practices for cultivating a more enlightened life. It offers a uniquely adaptive approach to awakened living that's suitable for everyone: people with busy careers and families, college students, retirees, even hardcore athletes and yogis. It's geared for devout—and irreverent—people of any religion, or no religion! This highly flexible system will help you develop your physical health, spiritual awareness, emotional balance, mental clarity, relational joy, and energy level, within a framework that integrates all aspects of your life.
