The Finders (non-fiction)
#1 Amazon Bestseller in Transpersonal Psychology, and many other categories.
Unless you’re a Finder, there is no way for you to even begin to imagine how much better your life can be.
The average person lives with an experience of the world that is rooted in fear, worry, and anxiety. The most common way this manifests is in a persistent sense of discontentment. Something just doesn’t feel quite right.
That something is usually hard to put a finger on. It’s often just a feeling that haunts us in the background, one that leads to endless soul searching and goal striving. Although it can disappear when a desire is achieved, or a piece of our life that was believed to be missing falls into place, ultimately the relief is only temporary. Before long, the background feeling that something is not okay returns and the search begins anew.
You may be surprised to learn that life doesn’t have to be this way. Since 2006, our global scientific research project has been on the trail of the tiny fraction of the population that seems to have escaped this fate. We found thousands of them, and what we learned has been nothing short of astonishing. It will revolutionize your life for the better, if you’ll let it.

Better Choices is a parable and a roadmap for everyday people on a quest to find meaning in their lives.
In her lifetime, Allison Clark has made many bad choices. Topping the list; she married the wrong man. Now, on the cusp of signing her divorce papers, she finds herself sandwiched between caring for her often difficult and dying mother and dealing with the seemingly endless drama of her rebellious teenaged twins.
When she thinks life couldn’t possibly get any more complicated, Allison discovers her mother has concealed a family secret from her for her entire life. Why had her recently departed father been making large and unexplained monthly payments to someone through his personal attorney for nearly fifty years? What was the money for and where did it go?
Stonewalled by both the attorney and her mother, and prodded by the antics of her financially strapped brother, Allison goes on a quest to uncover the secret. Along the way, with the help of her zany aunts and her best friend, she begins to make better choices which completely change the direction of her life.
At her twins’ eighteenth birthday party, and nearing the end, her mother checks off the last item on her personal bucket list and reveals the long-hidden family secret. Allison’s world is immediately turned upside down and the revelation stuns family and friends alike.
Despite dealing with the serious topics of divorce, complicated family relationships and death, this is a lighthearted and life-affirming story full of funny and interesting characters. Even though the clues to solving the mystery are all in plain sight, only the most astute reader will see this third act plot twist coming.

You may be surprised to learn that over the last decade a revolutionary scientific research project has been taking place that’s led to major advances in how to produce what seem like miraculous results in your life, and extraordinary levels of meaning and happiness.

This book outlines that formula, and is the final version of the highly successful training material that was used with research participants.
The Fourth Awakening (fiction)
#1 Amazon bestseller in Mysticism for 4+ years straight, as well as many other categories. This book is the first in a series of fictional novels drawn from the Center for the Study of Non-Symbolic Consciousness’ research.
What exactly is an Awakening? They occur when something so profoundly changes the world that all of the old rules no longer apply. A powerful new order arrives, completely unexpected and without warning, and things are never the same again. Today, humanity stands on the cusp of the Fourth Awakening.
The First Awakening… occurred approximately 200,000 years ago when Homo Sapiens emerged in East Africa, but it took another 150,000 years for things to begin to get interesting.
The Second Awakening… saw the emergence of spoken language, early shamans, and great myths being told around the campfire. For the first time, early humans became self aware and while still considering themselves a part of nature they understood they were now different. In the middle of the Second Awakening we saw rudimental art in the form of cave drawings and crude figurines…and with it the first indications that humanity is deeply interconnected.
The last great ice age ended with the perfect storm for human development. As is the case with every Awakening, something clicked on inside us. During the Second Awakening, humanity began to perceive the future and past in new ways that enabled planning. Fourteen thousand years ago, this allowed us to begin to plant crops and keep livestock which in turn allowed for larger fixed population centers. As the food supply grew and became more predictable there was a population explosion and a series of cultural revolutions.
During the last part of the Second Awakening the changes in mankind were stunning. In a clear example of universal consciousness, many completely independent cultures around the world went through their own Bronze and Iron Age at approximately the same time.
The Third Awakening… began around 3,000 years ago. It saw the rise of all modern religions, as well as science. Between 800 BC and 400 BC, there was a religious explosion. The key events in the Old Testament occurred, from which emerged Judeo/Christian beliefs. At the same time Taoism was being followed by Confucianism in China. The same was happening with Shintoism in Japan, and Hinduism and Buddhism in India, and later Islam.
The Fourth Awakening… is just beginning. This is the one you get to participate in (whether you like it or not). All of the previous awakenings have one thing in common, they relate to thought. When we think, we think in symbols. The Fourth Awakening brings a new mode of being with it, one that goes beyond symbols and beyond thought. Glimpses of it have been written about for thousands of years. During the Fourth Awakening, all of us will discover that the immortality we’ve been seeking for 200,000 years has been a part of us all along. Are you ready?
The Spanish language version can be found here. It debuted as the #1 Foreign Language book on Amazon and has been the top seller in many other categories.

The Complete Guide to Reiki, Vol I (non-fiction)
#1 Amazon Bestseller in Energy Healing and Mental & Spiritual Healing.
The Complete Guide to Reiki is one of the oldest and most established Reiki training texts. Originally written in 1992, it was the first book I wrote and has been used for decades around the world in Reiki classes. For a long time, it was one of very few books that Reiki teachers could rely on as a foundational class text. In fact, I originally wrote it because I needed a book to use in my own classes in the early 90’s but couldn’t find a suitable one!
The two-part book series it comprises remains incredibly popular with masters around the world, though generally in a licensed form that they can modify and use in classes. This first volume is one of the most comprehensive yet easy-to-understand Reiki books and is a popular choice for teachers to use in their classes. It has been translated into over a dozen languages.
The Complete Guide to Reiki, Vol II (non-fiction)
#1 Amazon Bestseller in Energy Healing and Mental & Spiritual Healing.
This is the second book in The Complete Guide to Reiki Series, written in 1994. It was written as both a detailed response to the questions most commonly asked asked in classes, and as a resource containing the most useful new and old information available for you to use in greatly increasing the effectiveness of Reiki healing work.
