Enlightenment!—You may spend your whole life seeking it, but never find it. You may never search for it or even know that it’s possible, but reach it by accident. And you may live out your life ignorant of its existence, and die having never discovered your highest potential for happiness, self-mastery, and creative brilliance.

The enlightened psychologist Abraham Maslow was the first to scientifically describe the fully enlightened person—which he called the “self-actualizing person.” Building on Maslow’s work through careful biographical study of the lives of self-actualizing people, humanistic historian and biographer Roman Gelperin found their enlightenment to stem from a nearly-identical handful of breakthrough experiences, which he will reveal to you in this book.

Partly a firsthand account of the author’s own accidental enlightenment, and partly a full biography of Abraham Maslow’s rise to self-actualization, this book will teach you how to identify, understand, and attain those key experiences of:

• Unlocking the perennial method of using your mind to its fullest potential
• Being fully at peace with yourself, by deconstructing your internal conflicts
• Deriving a near-constant joy, pleasure, and satisfaction from sheer existence
• Half-creating, half-discovering your driving passion and unique purpose in life
• Automatically evolving the self-actualizing qualities of total honesty, supreme self-confidence, natural creativity, effortless spontaneity, and independent thinking

By the end of this book, you will thoroughly understand what enlightenment is, how and why it occurs, and the ways to pursue it!

Too much about Poker

The author begins the book with informative and helpful facts about Maslow, his ideas, and the parallels between he and other great figures throughout history. The book then seemingly derails into the author's personal insights and grand epiphany he received while reading a book on Texas Hold 'em Poker.
I tried waiting for him to tie up his Poker awakening with the book's title and theme but he just kept going deeper and deeper into the woods on Poker. I finally opted to discontinue listening.

The best treatment on self-actualization since Abraham Maslow in my opinion. Thank you Roman!

Amazing contribution. Thoroughly enjoyed this book and now on to the next ones. Joust started 🙏
