Book Recommendations on the Ego?

Naturally over time though, a more unified consensus is going to form as we attempt to progress. To move in that direction there should be more discussion as to what is healthy and viable is the point I am making. As in, what values do we have to start living by and teaching today, and why? It's kind of fruitless to gather everyone together to talk about evolutionary enlightenment without discussing real values. That's what everyone at the lecture wanted to do, including Ashok Gangadean, the philosophy professor who held the forum (he was excellent), but all the issues were skirted around.

I agree, we must elicit values in order to understand what enables our development. The pluralists avoid this out of fear, for they have identified with a self that is sustained by a belief of no 'right' way (or all 'right' way). Bur philosophically we can provide various contexts from which to portray where we're at and where we can go. And that kind of dialog does require both intuitive perception and rational valuing.
