Robert Monroe's name may sound familiar: he produced JOURNEYS OUT OF THE BODY in the 1970s to give New Age followers insights into the experience: her his life is revealed in a fascinating biography JOURNEY OF ROBERT MONROE: FROM OUT-OF-BODY EXPLORER TO CONSCIOUSNESS PIONEER - and it comes not from an outside researcher, but from an intimate friend. Monroe's research on alternative realities and his pioneering research in consciousness are charted in a blend of biography and new age insights, making for an excellent recommendation not just for New Age collections, but for any general-interest library catering to readers of psychology or mysticism.

I liked the book, but it is informaton is kind of flat. For someone who worked in the entertainment business, there seem to be no interviews with voice actors or scripters who associated with him. The opening chapters are written lead like, all in declarative.

The book opens up to its content when the OOB material starts. But who inside the mind of Robert Monroe and what remain a little distant. He did fascinating things and these are described well, but the man is a elusive.

I've used some of his products. I wanted to know a little bit more. The content here delivers some of the story, but there seems to be a lot missing.
