<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"The first responsible account of an important, uniquely American happening - worthwhile reading for anyone who wants to piece together the social undercurrents of the '60s"<br> --Robert Marquand, Christian Science Monitor</p> <p>"A charming, gossipy multiple biography of the curious gurus who spawned Esalen . . . a complex story, but a sequential one nonetheless, with feuds and psychic shoot-outs, games of capture the flag and smell the roses."<br> --Arthur Hough, San Francisco Chronicle</p> <p>"Upstart Spring tells Esalen's riveting, unfinished story - even-handedly, entertainingly, with sympathy, and yet holding little back."<br> --David Toolan, Commonwealth</p> <p>"An absolute delight: brimming with juicy gossip, and as carefully crafted as a page-turner novel. And it has substance, the gift of a therapist who also happens to be a cultural historian with a good eye for the telling meta-detail."<br> --Sandy McDonald, New Age Journal</p> <p>"Walt Anderson has the requisite experience, humor, and affection (if not detachment, since Esalen teaches, indeed proves, that detachment is a universal impossibility) to carry off a wonderful account."<br> --Stewart Brand, Co-Evolution Quarterly</p> <p>"A wonderful read, consistently entertaining on several levels."<br> --Michael Rossman, Associate for Humanistic Psychology Newsletter</p> <p>"A superb wrap-up of a notable influence on our popular culture." --Rita Fink, Pacific Sun
