SYNOPSIS

The purpose of this book is to persuade the ego, in its own language, to enlarge its repertory of experience: to rule more democratically, more wisely, more openly, more richly. I want to convince the despot that it's ill-informed—that its own desperate need to control has strangled its information channels, that the result of this anxious vigilance is the impoverishment of its own experience and of the whole kingdom, and that its understanding of the universe is wildly erroneous.
