I promised to give you feedback on your wikibook. Some quick thoughts:

There is a ton of at false or at least controversial stuff (e.g., "Disappointment is always something positive"; "instrumental rationality" = "instrumentale Rationalität" (wheras it's "instrumentelle Rationalität") or stuff that cannot be understood without further knowledge (what is your average reader to make of the words "The Litany of Gendlin"?).

The preface is lacking footnotes, links or an outline.

You're obviously just getting started on this project, so maybe you should rather wait for EY's book(s) on rationality and try a translation thereof?
