Ed Bernd Jr.

Ed grew up in the newspaper business and spent the first 35 years of his life working as a news photographer and reporter. In 1954, at the age of 14, he was runner-up in the 2nd Annual Boys Life Magazine Writing Contest in the Article category.

In 1975 he was introduced to Silva Mind Control and has been involved ever since. He continued his writing and reporting, and worked with Jose Silva on more than a dozen books as editor or coauthor. He coauthored Jose Silva's last 4 books.

"I am still reporting," he says, "reporting on how people change their lives for the better as they learn to use their natural God-give ESP."

Ed's background in journalism shaped his literary style and instilled in him a clear, concise, and factual approach to writing, hallmarks of journalistic prose. His work demonstrates an emphasis on direct communication, structured storytelling, and a focus on delivering information efficiently—traits commonly developed in the fast-paced environment of news reporting.

It also influenced his ability to distill complex ideas, such as those found in Jose Silva's research, into accessible language for a broad audience. The discipline of meeting deadlines, verifying facts, and maintaining objectivity further contributed to a style that is both approachable and authoritative.

This background enables Ed to craft instructional and motivational materials that are straightforward, practical, and engaging, resonating with readers seeking clarity and actionable guidance.
