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.

While our stories are different, I have lacked the language to express the inner transformational journey I have been on and this series from you is the closet thing I have found for helping me to understand and express my own unfolding. Thank you for sharing this. I count these teachings as part of my blessings.

Well explained and said. No need for a video — is a short, important presentation that we all miss. Hopefully here it becomes present to us. Great job; thank you. Lots to think about. Blessings to you and all on this journey. Warmly, Anne

I really enjoyed this! This course takes you on Don Joseph’s very personal journey with critical-to-well-being lessons along the way! I’ve done many many courses on Insight Timer, and this one is unusual (for me at least) in being largely focused on personal narrative. But I loved it! Also the themes of forgiveness, compassion and self-compassion resonate deeply. So thank you for your work and sharing, and may others give this a listen! 🙏🏼
