Don Joseph Goewey

Don Joseph Goewey is the author of Mystic Cool: The Neuroplasticity of Attitude, The End of Stress: Four Steps to Rewire Your Brain, and Fishing for Fallen Light. He also edited two books on Anthony De Mello's spiritual insights and created the “Science of Ending Stress” course here at Insight Timer. Previously, Don worked at Stanford University Medical School’s Department of Psychiatry. He studied with Carl Rogers, considered one of the ten most influential psychologists of the 20th century, and he worked with psychiatrist Gerald Jampolsky, who pioneered an approach to psychology based on A Course in Miracles. Don later directed the Center for Attitudinal Healing, which developed methods to help people overcome catastrophic life events. The Center’s work was presented on 60 Minutes, in an Emmy-winning documentary hosted by Mr. Rogers, and received the Excellence in Medicine citation from the American Medical Association. Don spent six years in a think tank environment that integrated neuroscience, psychology, and practical spiritual principles into an approach that alleviates stress and amplifies higher-order brain function, enabling people to flourish. This approach proved effective in high-stress corporate environments, including Fortune 100 companies. He currently directs the Center for Spiritual Exchange, which was originally founded at Fordham University by Anthony De Mello in 1986.
