Nothing is more important than clarifying one's own identity, and, with it, the ultimate meaning of life. What is Enlightenment brings together fifteen of the most renowned spiritual teachers of our time to answer this fundamental issue. With a pleasant and accessible language, each of the authors recounts his own experience of illumination and summarizes the most essential of his teachings.

There is a common agreement: the transformation of consciousness that enlightenment implies can never be adequately described in words: it is necessary to live the experience itself. Now, words can help each reader feel encouraged to experiment on their own.

Such eminent authors as Huxley, Krishnamurti, Watts, Bucke, Wilbor and Aurobindo explore the psychological, intellectual, religious, cultural and practical aspects of enlightenment, that is, of the supreme experience. It is, therefore, a provocative and clarifying book that will interest anyone who wishes to delve into the most genuine of the spirituality of our time.
