Life

Early life and education

Robert Evan Ornstein was born in 1942 in Brooklyn, New York, USA, and grew up in the city. He was twice a high school mathematics champion in contests across the city, and "hesitated between physics and poetry before compromising with psychology" at Queens College City University New York.

In 1964, he received a degree in psychology at Queens College, and subsequently obtained his PhD at Stanford University, California in 1968. His doctoral thesis was On the Experience of Time .

Career psychology

Ornstein has been involved in reconciling a scientific understanding of mind and awareness with other scientific and cultural traditions. His work has been featured in a 1974 Time magazine article entitled Hemisphere Thinkers .

He has written about the role of the brain in health in The Healing Brain with David Sobel of Kaiser Permanente; the way in which human consciousness can not understand the fast-paced modern world in the New World's New Thoughts: Moving Towards a Conscious Evolution with Paul Ehrlich; and the way in which our current awareness has grown in The Axemaker Gift, with James Burke. He works to reconcile Eastern wisdom and science traditions at The Psychology of Consciousness and is interested in promoting modern Sufism from Idries Shah. Shah and Ornstein met in the 1960s. Realizing that Ornstein could be an ideal partner in spreading his teachings, translating them into psychotherapy idioms, the Shah made him his representative in the United States. Ornstein The Psychology of Consciousness (1972) was enthusiastically received by the academic psychology community, coinciding with new interest in the field, such as the study of biofeedback and other techniques designed to achieve mood swings and awareness. The Ornstein Book Right Thought deals with separate brain studies and other experiments or clinical evidence that reveal the ability of the right hemisphere.
