The Aquarian Conspiracy

Here is the human potential masterwork that defined the New Age.


Called "an exciting vision of the future” (Cleveland Plain Dealer), “a handbook of the New Age” (USA Today),  and “a new charter of human possibility” (Norman Cousins) upon its initial publication in 1980, The Aquarian Conspiracy is a breathtaking, compelling study of the changes in work, relationships, medicine, religion, education, and more that comprised the birth of the New Age movement.  

An influence on thinkers from Deepak Chopra to Al Gore, The Aquarian Conspiracy remains a thorough, detailed classic of contemporary thought—an impeccable document that traces one of the most powerful cultural movements of our age.“A bible of the New Age movement.” 
—William Grimes, The New York Times
