Represents one of the responses to the defects and potentialities of modern times. This book traces the growth and development of the Movement, identifies some of its key characteristics, and provides a critical perspective. It provides a treatment of New Age 'celebration of the self', and situates it within the cultural context.

Paul Heelas is Director of the Centre for Study of Cultural Values and Reader in Religion and Modernity in the Department of Religious Studies at Lancaster University.
