In this provocative and groundbreaking book, Colin Campbell shows that the civilization of the West is undergoing a revolutionary process of change, one in which features that have characterized the West for two thousand years are in the process of being marginalized, to be replaced by those more often associated with the civilizations of the East. Moving far beyond popular trends, Campbell assembles a powerful range of evidence to show how "Easternization" has been building throughout the last century, especially since the 1960s. Campbell demonstrates how it was largely in the 1960s that new interpretations in theology, political thought, and science were widely adopted by a new generation of young "culture carriers." This highly original and wide-ranging book advances a thesis that will be of interest to scholars in many disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.

The decline of the Christian churches in the West is undeniable but commentators differ in their understanding of what this represents. For some it shows a decline in interest in religion as such; for others, religion has not declined, it has only changed its shape. Possible candidates for Christianity's replacement are the new religious movements of the late 1960s and what is variously called New Age, alternative or contemporary spirituality. 'Secular Beats Spiritual' offers a detailed study of the religious and spiritual innovations of the last 50 years. It assesses their popularity in the UK and concludes that the 'not decline-just change' view cannot be sustained. Serious interest in spirituality has grown far less quickly than has the number of us who have no religious or spiritual interest. The most popular and enduring movements have been the least religious ones and those that have survived have done so by becoming more 'this-worldly' and less patently religious or spiritual.0Yoga is popular but as a secular exercise programme; Transcendental Meditation now markets its meditational technique as a purely secular therapy; British Buddhists now offer the secular Mindfulness; and the Findhorn Foundation (Europe's oldest New Age centre) is no longer the germ of a counter-cultural communalism but sells its expertise to major corporations. Steve Bruce also demonstrates that, although eastern religious themes (such as reincarnation and karma) have become more popular as the power of the Christian churches to stigmatise them has declined, such themes have also been significantly altered so that what superficially looks like the easternization of the West might better be described as the westernization of the easternization of the West.

It might be thought that these new management techniques require the high levels of education and training found in the Japanese labour force. But this book - based upon studies of firms implementing these new management techniques in a range of developing countries in Asia, Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa (as well as the UK and the USA) - shows that considerable gains can be achieved even in low-income countries with poor levels of human resource development. These management techniques improve the performance both of the implementing firms and the overall economy.

What if Western individuals who are interested in Eastern spiritual practices are unknowingly "buying" fragmented components of such traditions? Can a misappropriated or misunderstood spiritual practice cause more harm than good? What are the personal, social, and spiritual implications associated with a consumerist distorted sense of spirituality? These questions have become ever more essential to address as Eastern spiritual practices have become increasingly popular in the West. The popularity of these practices has turned problematic attitudes regarding spirituality into a consumer-market and potentially perpetuates the concept of spiritual materialism—which may be defined as a "distorted, ego-centered version of spirituality" (Trungpa, 1973/2002a, p. 3). This study engages C. G. Jung and Chogyam Trungpa in a critical comparative dialogue to address some of the contemporary challenges associated with the "Easternization of the West" (Campbell, 2007). A comparative hermeneutics informed by critical theory thus shapes this dissertation's methodological approach. Although a synthesis of Jungian psychology and Eastern spirituality is beyond the scope of this dissertation, the study discusses some central psychological, social, and spiritual implications of the Easternization of the Western world. While the benefits the Western world may gain from Eastern spiritual traditions are acknowledged, this dissertation challenges the commonly held belief that adopting Eastern spiritual notions and practices inherently enhances one's life and personal growth. While components of this study's cultural critique may be applied to a wide array of spiritual disciplines, its intended application is toward nongoal-oriented spiritual disciplines, such as those introduced to the West by Chogyam Trungpa.

Selected as a Book of the Year by Evening Standard The West's domination of world politics is coming to a close. The flow of wealth and power is turning from West to East and a new era of global instability has begun. Easternisation is the defining trend of our age - the growing wealth of Asian nations is transforming the international balance of power. This shift to the East is shaping the lives of people all over the world, the fate of nations and the great questions of war and peace. A troubled but rising China is now challenging America's supremacy, and the ambitions of other Asian powers - including Japan, North Korea, India and Pakistan - have the potential to shake the whole world. Meanwhile the West is struggling with economic malaise and political populism, the Arab world is in turmoil and Russia longs to reclaim its status as a great power. We are at a turning point in history: but Easternisation has many decades to run. Gideon Rachman offers a road map to the turbulent process that will define the international politics of the twenty-first century.
