The most sophisticated insight into human nature and the horizon of enlightenment

《Boundless》 is a concise yet comprehensive guide to various psychological approaches, techniques, and therapies from both the East and the West, from psychoanalysis to Zen Buddhism, from existentialism to Tantra.
Ken Wilber helps us grasp the full picture of human consciousness by providing one big map that integrates them all.

“Who am I?”—This question has probably plagued humanity since the dawn of civilization and remains one of the most vexing problems for humans to this day.
Although countless answers have been proposed throughout history, none have yet been able to completely resolve our ontological questions.
So, instead of examining each of those answers one by one, we want to look at the 'certain task' that must necessarily precede answering, "I am such and such a person."


Every time you describe, explain, or feel yourself as 'me', you invariably draw a kind of mental boundary in your mind.
Then I feel everything 'inside' that boundary as 'me'.
On the other hand, everything that is 'outside' that boundary is felt as 'not me'.
In other words, your identity depends entirely on where you draw that line.
That is, the essence of the question “Who are you?” is “Where have you drawn your boundaries?”
