Wilber's idea is that the Western tradition does not cover the entire existential experience of man, and therefore cannot cope with the role of a single source of questions and answers. Wilber acts as a demystifier, a subtle critic of teachers, methods, ideas and systems that promise to lead to truth but turn out to be incomplete or false. Speaking metaphorically, he introduces the Buddha to Freud and offers an alternative view of human spiritual evolution.

A Brief History of Everything shows the world from an original perspective and offers an answer to the pressing questions of our time - about the changing role of men and women, about environmental destruction, about diversity and multiculturalism, about repressed memory and child sexual abuse, about the role of the Internet in the information age, and much more.

The Ukrainian edition also contains an extensive dialogue with Lana Wachowska, co-author of the legendary Matrix and a long-time admirer of Wilber's work.
