Ervin Laszlo provides the most brilliant, comprehensive, and intellectually satisfying integral theory of everything that I have ever read. . . . His work transcends the vision of Darwin, Newton, Einstein, the quantum pioneers, and many other scientific giants of history. * Deepak Chopra, M.D., author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success *
Arguably the world's greatest system theorist and interdisciplinary scientist and philosopher, Ervin Laszlo is a multifaceted individual with a range of interests and talents reminiscent of the great figures of the Renaissance. In an intellectual tour de force and a series of books, Laszlo offers a solution to the current paradoxes in Western science that transcends the boundaries of individual disciplines. * Stanislav Grof, author of Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science and When the Impossible Happens *
Ervin Laszlo has provided thought provoking information to guide us through this period of transition. * Kathryn Price, book editor, WomensRadio *
Our world is undergoing a radical 'macroshift' at the same time as our scientific understanding of reality is revving up for a major paradigm shift. . . . This is truly inspiring stuff! * Nexus New Times Magazine *
This is a book I recommend for those who are interested quantum physics and the meditative state as it is written in a style I was able to understand, considering my strengths are not in science and mathematics. * Barbara Martin, reviewer, Jan 2009 *
It is an exciting time to be alive now, during the evolution of the next step of human consciousness, and reading this book created a safe perspective for me 'to be' in the scheme of things. * Rahasya Poe, Lotus Guide magazine, Issue No. 25, May/June 08 *
From a scientifcally idealistic point of view, there is something that seems right about this book's advice. . . . From the shifting of political, corporate, and military resources to the planetary ethic, to the latest scientific knowledge, this is a book you wish everyone read. * Cheznoiu and Kovacs, United Association for Body Psychotherapy, Sep 2008 *
Whenever I read a book written by a Nobel prize nominee, (peace, in this case, twice) I expect an interesting read. Quantum Shift in the Global Brain did not disappoint, but for rather a surprising reason: the book is a strange juxtaposition of societal and global trends, quantum and chaos physics, and pseudoscience, with wide breadth and bold claims. So, it kept me on my toes. * Donald N. Petcher, Journal of the American Scientific Affiliation, Vol. 61, No. 1, March 2009 *
Any college-level collection strong in either science or sociology will find this intriguing. * The Midwest Book Review, June 2008 *
Laszlo makes a compelling case; his analysis of human populations and resource use provides a good historical basis to his theory that an industrialized way of life is unsustainable.

The overall message of the book, however unlikely this seems at present, is that humanity is a system capable of rapid transformation. We will soon enough discover whether this is true. * David Lorimer, The Scientific and Medical Network, March 2010 *
. . . explores how intuition and speculation are now being given scientific rigor and urgency as a multidimensional worldview emerges. * The Compendium Newsletter, Vol. 38, No. 2, Mar/Apr 2010 *
