At first the genre was called self-help. The assumption was that we were flawed and had to fix ourselves. We needed motivational speakers to pump us up. Then it was called self-development. The assumption was that we just needed new skills and habits to cultivate. Now we are moving into an era of self-transformation. In the new paradigm, we can accept ourselves for where we are at and recognize that there are many stages of evolution. There is a trend toward integration of skillbuilding and spirituality. There is an understanding that mind, body, and spirit must be taken into account. The classics of self-development still have plenty of value, like the foundation of a house. However the people who were once breaking new ground in this arena are now just reformulating the classic self-development mantras of values, habits, skills, positive thinking and motivation. Even the fathers of self-development that continue to pioneer are becoming grandfathers and we need new voices and ideas. Charles Eisenstein, Daniel Pinchbeck, Bentinho Massaro, Jeff Foster, and Russell Brand are some of those new voices. They are building upon the foundation of indigenous wisdom and classic self-development and stretching into the quantum and multidimensional field of awareness. Refreshingly they are doing this in a fairly intelligent, humorous, and non new-agey sort of way. Using science as a bridge, these change agents are showing the masses the light of wisdom in a fresh, exciting, fun, and credible way. The new self-help guru is not a guru at all, but more of a peer who is just as comfortable sharing wisdom from his life path on his smartphone as he is in a packed stadium.
In a time when millions are feeling victimized by the economy and alienated by technology, people are hungry for practical advice for their daily struggles. People are returning in droves to self sustainability, DIY, and other ways to embrace simplicity, connection, nature, and fulfillment. However there is still the need to feel empowered within civilization. With internet business at full throttle, people know that they can create their own careers, but they’re afraid of giving up what is secure and familiar. As decentralization occurs at every level of society, people are both excited and fearful at the prospect of being masters of their own universe. The scientific substantiation of ancient practices such as mindfulness and yoga has accelerated. The practices have become mainstream and many people are experiencing awakening without traditional guidance of a tribe or elder.
