About the book
A first-person narrator in a transitional period of his life starts to notice meaningful coincidences in James Redfield's novel. An old friend tells him about an ancient manuscript found in Peru, dating to 600 BC and only recently translated, which holds nine insights that humanity is expected to grasp, one after another, as it moves into a new spiritual awareness. Curious, he travels to Peru, where a government wants the document suppressed. The story frames psychological and spiritual ideas drawn from Eastern traditions and New Age thought as an adventure. Redfield first self-published it, and sold 100,000 copies out of his car before Warner Books picked it up, and it was later adapted as a film.
Stephen Lew, director of The School of Positive Psychology, said it turned his path toward personal development and set off his study of metaphysics, meditation and philosophy. Sumo founder Noah Kagan included it in his list The 18 Books That Changed My Life.

“The Celestine Prophecy” by James Redfield, that book pivoted my journey towards personal development and human excellence. At the point of time, nearly 2 decades ago, I started an inner quest of holistic wisdom, through the studies of metaphysics, meditation practices, philosophy, popular psychology, transpersonal psychology, dreams interpretations and comparative religions, I discovered an unconscious part or of the human selves, and its correlation to our psyche/spiritual developments.
