Wisdom from an Empty Mind (Signed Presentation Copy)

This book is a series of one-page essays and accompanying quotes transcribed from live presentations Jacob Liberman has given around the world. It is easy-reading, and touches the heart of what truly matters.

JACOB LIBERMAN’s visionary insights and accomplishments over the past 30 years have created a new paradigm of seeing, healing, and living. Originally trained as an optometrist, his 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 sold approximately 50,000 copies domestically, and has been translated into nine languages. It is considered a classic in its field.

His second book, Take Off Your Glasses and See (Crown, 1995) was inspired by the miraculous healing of his own eyesight, and offered a radically new approach to understanding and healing our vision. To date, it has sold over 60,000 copies worldwide.

Jacob’s first two books have been enthusiastically endorsed by leading figures in the fields of health and consciousness, including Deepak Chopra, Gary Zukav, Bernie Siegal, John Gray, Louise Hay, and Dan Millman, to name a few.

His newest book, Wisdom from an Empty Mind, is a compilation of one-page essays and accompanying quotes on topics as diverse as health, relationships, and children. It marks Dr. Liberman’s first collaboration with his son, Erik, and has garnered rave reviews from Neale Donald Walsch, Ram Dass, Eckhart Tolle, Bonnie Raitt and James Redfield, among others.

Jacob maintains an active speaking schedule, conducting 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.

He received a Doctorate of Optometry in 1973, a Ph.D. in Vision Science in 1986, and an honorary Doctorate of Science in 1996 for his pioneering work with light and color.

Erik Liberman is an award-winning actor and writer living in Los Angeles.
