Michael Murphy - founder of Esalen Institute. Author of Golf in the Kingdom wrote:

It is very rare that one comes across a teacher or a book that is ‘changing the game.’ My friend, Dr. Marc Gafni, is such a teacher. He is a rare combination of brilliance, depth, and heart. Marc’s teaching on the Unique Self in an evolutionary context is ‘changing the game.

Andrew Harvey - author of The Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism wrote:

Your Unique Self is one of the most brilliant, provocative, and original books of the new century. Dr. Marc Gafni has fused together the deepest insights of the Eastern and Western mystery traditions to provide an evolutionary road map for the Great Birth that is arising in and through our contemporary world crisis. This is indispensable reading. The vision of the Unique Self is absolutely essential for the next step of evolution and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Ken Wilber - Author of A Brief History of Everything wrote:

Dr. Marc Gafni’s Integral Unique Self teaching is seminal. What you hold in your hands is a radically exciting and ground-breaking book that will change forever not only how you think about enlightenment, but how you understand from a postmetaphysical perspective, the very nature of human life itself. The Unique Self work is magnificent, and it belongs among the ‘great books.’ It offers what may arguably be one of the most significant contemporary evolutions of enlightenment teaching. Unique Self brings together East and West in a higher integral embrace of stunning implications. Unique Self is a pivotal step toward an authentic Enlightenment. First laid out by Marc in his academic articles on ‘The Evolutionary Emergent of Unique Self, A New Chapter in Integral theory,’ it appears here for broader public, for the first time in full-developed form, in this volume.

John Mackey - CEO of Whole Foods and Chair of Center for World Spirituality wrote:

Dr. Marc Gafni has written a brilliant book, Your Unique Self, which I believe is essential reading. Your Unique Self articulates a bold evolutionary, spiritual, philosophy that calls every individual to realize their Unique Self and give their Unique Gifts in an evolutionary context. Gafni, together with his colleague Ken Wilber, is a bold visionary and a catalytic voice for the newly emergent World Spirituality movement, which combines the best of premodern, modern, and postmodern insight. I highly recommend this book.

Michael Bernard Beckwith - author of Spiritual Liberation: Fulfilling Your Soul’s Potential wrote:

With exceptional brilliance and an awakened heart, Dr. Marc Gafni speaks to all of us who are interested in the evolution of consciousness. His teachings on the Unique Self enlightenment are essential for the next stage in our evolution. They have emerged from his direct experience and I highly recommend them.

Coleman Barks - author of Rumi: The Big Red Book wrote:

Marc, a fellow drinker at the holy taverns has written a fine, fine book. Kabbalists say a Day of Tikkun (evolution, soul-repair) is coming. There are great stories here from the Hasidic masters and from Marc’s own life, honoring the unique soulmaking that has brought you to this moment. This beautiful book will deepen that astonishing mystery and awaken you to the individual beauty of your path.
