This is the only book that takes you behind the sealed doors of the legendary est training rooms to share in the life-transforming experience. From the hysterical anxiety of the first morning to the elation of "getting it" on the fourth evening, The Book of est brings the training to life, moment by moment, to involve you in an electrifying experience. To read it is to participate in the rantings and hysterics, to witness the intimate confessions and heated exchanges between trainer and trainee, to live through the training data and processes that lead trainees to "get it." It's as close as you can come to the experience of the training without actually taking it. Poignant and witty, The Book of est is also thoroughly authentic; each page has been checked by an est trainer to ensure that the dramatization is an accurate reflection of the training.For the millions who have heard about est from enthusiastic friends, read about it in Time, Psychology Today, Harpers, and other national magazines, or taken est and got it, here is a mind-expanding reading experience — as real and alive as the printed word can be.
