About Jeffery A Martin

Jeffery A. Martin, PhD, is a scientist, technologist, entrepreneur, and investor who focuses on advancing the highest forms of human wellbeing. For over a decade he has conducted the largest international study into ongoing and persistent forms of non-symbolic experience (ONE/PNSE), which includes the types of consciousness commonly known as: enlightenment, nonduality, the peace that passeth understanding, unitive experience, and hundreds of other terms. This book refers to these as Fundamental Wellbeing. His research resulted in the first reliable, cross-cultural and pan-tradition classification system for these types of experience. More recently, he has used this research to make protocols and information available that help people obtain profound psychological benefits in a rapid, secular, reliable, and safe way. Dr. Martin is also the founder of the Transformative Technology ecosystem, a global movement spanning over 60 countries that promotes the use of science and technology to substantially raise human mental and emotional wellbeing. Since he conceived of and created the space in 2007, he has been a catalyst in bringing together makers, scientists and other researchers, engineers, entrepreneurs, companies, educational institutions, non-profits and NGO's, public policy experts, and investors. He co-founded the first academic TransTech lab, its first conference, taught the first university-level course, organized the first investor gatherings, and many other firsts. He serves as a formal and informal advisor to a wide range of companies and other organizations in the space, is an active early-stage investor, and is a frequent public speaker on Transformative Technology related topics. In addition to his wellbeing work, Dr. Martin is a bestselling author and award-winning educator who has authored, co-authored, or co-edited over twenty books. His work has regularly been featured at leading academic conferences worldwide, as well as major public forums such as Wisdom 2.0, H+, the Science and Nonduality Conference, the Asia Consciousness Festival, Deepak Chopra's Sages and Scientists Symposium, and TEDx.
