Book Recommendations on the Ego?

Yes, so I don't think Cohen is saying anything particularly new honestly. It is just social change re-contextualized, where evolutionary enlightenment has replaced the phrase of creating culture.

The value I get from Cohen's work is his ability to articulate the mental/spiritual condition and various modalities from a quite viable perspective. It is important to identify these aspects of the human condition in order that they can be recognized and accepted in an accessible manner - to bring them to light. That is, so that there is a (grounded) place made for these relationships. Otherwise, we have more potential for missteps (ego inflation, false valuing, indentifcation, etc). I do not see many people offering such a 'road map' - one that goes deep yet remains simple and honest. So to me, it's like another reference.
