Boomeritis: A Novel That Will Set You Free is a philosophical and satirical novel that explores the journey of self-discovery, addressing the confusion and challenges of the modern world, especially through the lens of the Baby Boomer generation. The story revolves around the characters of Ted, a young man searching for meaning in his life, and Jenny, a psychologist who introduces him to different ways of understanding the world. The narrative unfolds in a playful and sometimes absurd manner, interweaving elements of psychology, spirituality, and humor. The novel’s central premise is the clash between traditional, hierarchical values and the more fragmented, postmodern attitudes that have emerged in contemporary society. It challenges the reader to reflect on the evolution of human consciousness and the ways in which people have become disconnected from their deeper sense of self and purpose.

Wilber uses the novel to illustrate the tensions between the old and new ways of thinking, positioning his characters in a world where personal development and self-help ideologies are at odds with the fragmentation of modern culture. Through his characters’ internal and external struggles, the book critiques the shallowness of contemporary materialism, while offering an integrated vision of personal and spiritual growth. Boomeritis isn’t just a story about the Baby Boomers but is a reflection on the collective mindset that shapes modern Western culture. Wilber integrates his theory of Integral Philosophy into the narrative, urging readers to embrace a more holistic understanding of life that includes both the rational and the spiritual dimensions. The novel’s humor, wit, and keen observations on human nature make it both a philosophical treatise and a profound exploration of the inner workings of modern life.
