I found the DVD really helpful. Have read a lot of his books,but hearing the talks was clarifyin and helped to solidify my understanding. I think what Ken is doing is very important. I agree that you may want to read a book of his before embarking on this audio journey. Kosmic Consciousness I think should be done after this series actually. This really preps your mind for his more in depth conversations.

In any case, this is a great self-exploration journey and Ken's sense of humor and brillance encouraged me to keep going!

I found some new tidbits in this format that were very helpful, but in general, I had heard most of this on Kosmic Consciousness.

IOS is probably best suited for those who don't want to sit through 12 hours of interview. If you like a lot of material, Kosmic Consciousness might be better. It's probably a matter of personal preference.

I'm really looking forward to the Integral Life Practice Starter Kit to be published in Dec 2005. I think that the more extensive format is my preferred way to access to Ken Wilber and I imagine that the depth of coverage I'm looking for to follow up Kosmic Consciousness is going to be on ILPSK.

Good stuff on here, but if you have KC you probably don't need this. This could be a good intro to KW for those never exposed. Start w/ the DVD's and skip around until you find a topic you're interested in. Do the DVD's first and then follow up w/ the written material. That's my suggestion at least.
