Spiritual Choices: The Problem of Recognizing Paths to Inner Transformation by Dick Anthony. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780913729199.

This book presents the results of a major, year-long study conducted at the Center for the Study of New Religious Movements in Berkeley, California, on the topic of spiritual tyranny versus legitimate spiritual authority. It includes articles and interviews designed to sharpen the readers ability to recognize valid approaches to inner spiritual develpment. Dick Anthony developed a typology of consciousness groups, in which Ouspenskys The Fourth Way is used as a prominent example. "A major contribution. I consider this book essential reading for anyone who wants to choose a spiritual path intelligently." - Charles T. Tart
