Jacob Liberman

Originally trained as an optometrist, Jacob's life changed in 1976 when his poor eyesight instantly cleared during a profound meditative experience. From that moment on, he began questioning the standard beliefs and practices of vision and general health care. His search for a new model of healing led him to the field of light and color therapy-- and to the realization that light could be used not only to heal our bodies, but to heal our lives. In 1991, Jacob's first book, "Light: Medicine of the Future" (Bear & Company) established him as an authority in the field of light and color therapy. Now in its fifth printing in paperback and third in hardcover, the book has been translated into nine languages. It is considered a classic in its field. His second book "Take Off Your Glasses and See" was inspired by the miraculous healing of his own eyesight, and offered a radically new approach to understanding and healing our vision. Deepak Chopra, Gary Zukav, Bernie Siegal, John Gray Louise Hay, and Dan Millman are among those who enthusiastically endorse Jacob Liberman's first two books.

"Wisdom from an Empty Mind" is a compilation of one-page essays and accompanying quotes on topics ranging from awareness and healing to love, relationships, and children. It marks Dr. Liberman's first collaboration with his son Irik, and has garnered reviews from Eckhart Tolle, Neale Donald Walsch, Ram Dass, James Redfield, and Bonnie Raitt, among others.

Jacob maintains an active speaking schedule, conducts seminars and workshops around the world. He has addressed more than 2000 live audiences, and has been interviewed on hundreds of radio and television programs. Most recently, he has featured on the "lyanla" national talk show. spotlighting his latest book.
