About the Book

Today there is a familiar sense of self-estrangement that haunts contemporary life in the West. The Recovery of Ecstasy gently and gingerly leads the reader to explore a different way of being in the world. With a detour through the central Siberian Steppe, and drawing upon aspects of Western thought that incorporate deep structures of primal life, the most cherished assumptions of Western civilization are laid bare. This work allows the reader to recover a feral experience of ecstasy resident in each of us - in our genome, so to speak. Reviews: "Your book is really good! I like it! You're an excellent writer. Thank you for your work!" Derrick Jensen (Author of Endgame) "Here is a book that is equal parts philosophy, love story, and vision of how we could live a more authentic and joyful life. It is well worth picking up and reading." Alex McGilvery, Armchair Interviews "There's a lot going on in this lean and lovingly crafted work... Krolick uses his own remarkable life story like a reagent to reveal for us the feral heart of the Siberian as his own American assumptions are subsumed in the reaction. The result is a deeply personal story of a rediscovery of ecstatic living... Krolick introduces us to a path at once profoundly kind, human, primal and accessible." Narain Scott
About the Author: Sandy Krolick graduated Magna cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, with a B.A. in the History of Culture from Hobart College in the Finger Lakes Region of New York, a Master's degree from the University of Chicago's Committee on General Studies in Humanities, and a Doctorate in Religious Studies from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. After a ten-year career in academia, including appointments at the University of Virginia, the University of Denver-Daniels College of Business, and the Colorado School of Mines, he spent the next twenty years in the partnership and executive ranks of several of America's largest domestic and international firms, including Ernst & Young LLP, General Electric, and Computer Sciences Corporation. Sandy has spent many years traveling around the world, including parts of Asia, Africa, Europe, Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine, and of course North America. Retiring from business at the age of fifty, he recently returned to the USA with his wife Anna, after living and teaching for several years in the central Siberian Steppe, at the foot of the Altai mountains in Barnaul, Russia. His other published works include Recollective Resolve: A Phenomenological Understanding of Time and Myth (Mercer University Press, 1987), Ethical Decisionmaking Styles (Addison Wesley, 1986), Gandhi in the Postmodern Age: Issues in War and Peace (CSM Press, 1984), "The Transformation of Siberian Values" Экономика.Сервис.Туризм .Культура, Международная научно-практическая конференция, (vol. 10, 2008).
