Ecstasy and Holiness

The book presents a compelling argument that the counterculture movement stems from opportunity rather than alienation, emerging from a new generational consciousness in Western societies since the 1950s. It explores the connections between economic expansion, population shifts, and the decline of religiousness, offering insights into the societal changes that shaped this cultural phenomenon. Through its analysis, it challenges conventional views on the motivations behind the counterculture, providing a fresh perspective on its origins and implications.
