About the Author:

Paul Breer received his B.A. (1952) and Ph.D. (1960) from Harvard University. In subsequent years he taught or conducted research at the University of Wisconsin, Cornell University and Dartmouth Medical School. Between university appointments he conducted a private psychotherapy practice, first in Hanover, New Hampshire and later in Boston Mass. Since retiring he has spent most of his time writing books, essays and music. Some of his books explore questions of value (sociology) and free will (philosophy); others focus on music and the fine arts. His essays offer analyses of humanistic psychology and Eastern philosophy. Some of his musical compositions feature full orchestra or orchestra and chorus; others are written for smaller ensembles including classical guitar. Tashi represents Breer's most recent venture into literature, the previous being Illusions of the Heart, a book-length work consisting of two novellas exploring the world of internet romance.
