Publisher's Summary
New Self, New World challenges the primary story of what it means to be human, the random and materialistic lifestyle that author Philip Shepherd calls our "shattered reality". This reality encourages us to live in our heads, self-absorbed in our own anxieties. Drawing on diverse sources and inspiration, New Self, New World reveals that our state of head-consciousness falsely teaches us to see the body as something we possess and to try to take care of it without ever really learning how to inhabit it. Shepherd articulates his vision of a world in which each of us enjoys a direct, unmediated experience of being alive. He petitions against the futile pursuit of the "known self" and instead reveals the simple grace of just being present.
In compelling prose, Shepherd asks us to surrender to the reality of "what is" that enables us to reunite with our own being. Each chapter is accompanied by exercises meant to bring Shepherd's vision into daily life, what the author calls a practice that "facilitates the voluntary sabotage of long-standing patterns". New Self, New World is at once a philosophical primer, a spiritual handbook, and a roaming inquiry into human history.

Beyond brilliant, human highest potential.
Any words I can share, only fail to express the profound gift of sacred life described within this book. All I can say is I am so humbled and grateful to have stumbled across such an incredible and masterful piece of this man's life's work. His whole being, heart and soul has gone into traversing, opening, exploring, experiencing, integrating and somehow mapping and articulating so precisely the divine grace that is possible for each of us as and within our mother planet. Thank you Philip Shepherd, deeply healing, deeply profound and deeply inspiring.

Life changing
This book is a journey into humanity. It draws cross culturally, historically and across many disciplines. I have no idea how long this would have taken to write. I am implementing his inquiries into my life and work. Stunning, I feel like I am waking up.

Fabulous insightful masterpiece
Shepherd has written a masterpiece essay on human consciousness, being and the infinite possibilities for every person.
Easy to understand. Poetic in language. Covers a lot of ground and incorporates science, philosophy and spirituality.
Marvellous
