Description

The Upstart Spring: Esalen and the Human Potential Movement: The First Twenty Years"The first responsible account of an important, uniquely American happening worthwhile reading for anyone who wants to piece together the social undercurrents of the '60s" Robert Marquand, Christian Science Monitor "A charming, gossipy multiple biography of the curious gurus who spawned Esalen . . . a complex story, but a sequential one nonetheless, with feuds and psychic shoot outs, games of capture the flag and smell the roses." Arthur Hough, San

"The first responsible account of an important, uniquely American happening - worthwhile reading for anyone who wants to piece together the social undercurrents of the '60s"
--Robert Marquand, Christian Science Monitor

"A charming, gossipy multiple biography of the curious gurus who spawned Esalen . . . a complex story, but a sequential one nonetheless, with feuds and psychic shoot-outs, games of capture the flag and smell the roses."
--Arthur Hough, San Francisco Chronicle

"Upstart Spring tells Esalen's riveting, unfinished story - even-handedly, entertainingly, with sympathy, and yet holding little back."
--David Toolan, Commonwealth

"An absolute delight: brimming with juicy gossip, and as carefully crafted as a page-turner novel. And it has substance, the gift of a therapist who also happens to be a cultural historian with a good eye for the telling meta-detail."
--Sandy McDonald, New Age Journal

"Walt Anderson has the requisite experience, humor, and affection (if not detachment, since Esalen teaches, indeed proves, that detachment is a universal impossibility) to carry off a wonderful account."
--Stewart Brand, Co-Evolution Quarterly

"A wonderful read, consistently entertaining on several levels."
--Michael Rossman, Associate for Humanistic Psychology Newsletter

"A superb wrap-up of a notable influence on our popular culture." --Rita Fink, Pacific Sun

Good product, but small in quantity.
Scent: Rain Water, Size: 33 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I like this soap a lot, but the size surprised me enough that it is worth mentioning. The Rainwater scent is clean and subtle, not overpowering or perfumey. The soap itself is clear, rinses clean, and does not leave my hands feeling dry or coated. I also appreciate that it is a more chemical conscious option that still works well for frequent handwashing. That said, I was genuinely surprised by how small the refill container was. Yes, the ounces are listed right on the ad and package, but the bottle itself looks tiny in comparison to what I expected from the photo. For the price, the quantity felt underwhelming, and that ultimately led me to return it. If the cost-to-quantity ratio made more sense, I would absolutely keep this on hand, because the product itself is very nice. Just go into it knowing the refill is smaller than you might expect based on the packaging.

On my second bottle...
Scent: Rain Water, Size: 33 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've now purchased two bottles of this hand soap. I love the smell! The soap itself is gentle but effective. It cleans well without drying out my hands, even with frequent use. I appreciate that it’s made with ingredients like aloe vera and essential oils, which helps keep my skin feeling soft instead of stripped. The scent is light, fresh, and clean without being overpowering. The β€œRain Water” fragrance has a subtle, slightly floral smell that makes washing your hands feel a little more refreshing and enjoyable.

Soft Cotton Rounds That Work Well for Skincare
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
These cotton rounds are soft, durable, and work well for everyday skincare and makeup removal. They don’t fall apart easily when using toner or micellar water, which I appreciate. The packaging is simple and convenient, and the quantity is great for the price. Overall, a reliable product to keep on hand.
