More About the Author

I'm of cattle ranching origins in California and Arizona, one of the few remaining people who actually did the work of a cowboy while growing up - not so glamorous actually. I was eager to head back east to Princeton - and from then on it was non-stop change ... government-funded psychedelic research in the late sixties ... meditation exploration and working as a therapist in the seventies ... loads of trips south into Indian realms where I felt most at home. Then Europe in the eighties where I found people seriously eager to plunge into the deeper mind-management methods I'd been developing.

After a number of fulfilling and enlightening but not-quite-right relationships, finally the love of my life appeared at 37 ... and then off we went to Hawaii to start a family (most fulfilling of all) and go deeper into my own explorations. Now our boys are grown and living in California, and after almost 20 years here in paradise, Birgitta and I are getting set to also move to California so as to be more plugged in doing seminars etc, with three new books coming out this new year.

During the last decade I've been finalizing my life work in developing short-form meditation' techniques and Focus Phrase methods for quickly quieting the mind and shifting into present-moment full engagement. Quite a number of books have emerged along the way - and now Birgitta and I are producing special 'experiential video' programs that in and of themselves, awaken a meditative present-moment quality of consciousness.

5.0 out of 5 stars A SLEEP BOOK THAT WORKS, June 4, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets of a Good Night's Sleep (Paperback)
I've struggled with insomnia most of my life, on and off. Not terribly, but over and over. And this short but complete discussion of why I can't get to sleep, and what I can do to move through what keeps me awake - well, it works.

The author knows his stuff. What's most important, he's practical and in each chapter gives specific guidance that really took me through the bothersome thoughts that kept me awake - so that I could let go and come into the present moment, and well, just drift off.

I also found Selby on the web ... and discovered that since he puiblished his sleep book, he has posted great audio guidance right on the web ... and he has a CD that I bought with a sleep program. ow I just put it on, and it takes me away.

But the book is also essential as far as I'm concerned. It gave me the insight to see how I torture myself with my thoughts, and how they provok the emotions that keep me awake.

If you want to get to sleep - read this book!

Bill Hays, Camden NJ

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep sleep book, December 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets of a Good Night's Sleep (Paperback)
Full of practical suggestions, reports on sleep research, deep insight about the relation of sleep symptoms to the rest of one's life, and general wisdom, this book is the best thing I've ever read on getting a good nights sleep. I'm actually pretty good at getting a good night's sleep, and John Selby has many insights into why that is the case.
