Summary:
Discusses how such luminaries as Yeats, Blake, Satre, Nietzche and Robert Graves were effected by Peak Experiences and how on the opposite side it has long been noted that we are least insightful when we are at our lowest ebb. By looking in detail through the different areas where this phenomena has occurred and offering anecdotes and examples of how many people in history (as well as himself) were effected, Wilson reveals a pattern of insight with emotions. He ends the book with an instructional section on achieving power consciousness for yourself.
