(140 words) Robert Ornstein, considered one of the foremost experts on the brain, was an internationally renowned psychologist and author of more than 20 books on the nature of the human mind and brain and their relationship to thought, health, and individual and social consciousness.

He taught at Stanford University, Harvard University and the University of California, San Francisco. His books have sold over six million copies worldwide, have been translated into dozens of languages and used in more than 20,000 university classes. He founded the Institute for the Study of Human Knowledge (ISHK) in 1969 and served as its president until his death in December of 2018. download long bio

Statement from Co-Author, Sally M. Ornstein

What were your challenges and what did you learn from the process of bringing it to final publication on your own?

Thankfully, by the time Bob was too ill to continue, he had completed his unique contribution to the book. By that I mean, he understood and had described the evolutionary foundations upon which altered states of consciousness are based and the neurobiology and contributing psychological aspects of this, what in the book he calls our “second system.” He had made the connections, and indeed had said to me — it’s all about connection, that’s key. This led him to the major insight he describes as “GOD-4.0”— that “God” is a description of a perceived expanded connection. It is an ability within all of us that is dormant but can be developed — it is not a belief. In his typical humorous style, Bob said the new mantra should be: “It’s not what you believe, it’s what you perceive.”
