Robert A Monroe has been a pioneer in exploring out of the body experiences, and Journeys OUT OF THE BODY, his first book, has become the undisputed classic in the field. He had a long and distinguished career in the broadcasting industry, as a writer, director of programs, and creator and producer of some four hundred radio and TV network programs, and eventually as owner and operator of a radio network and cable TV system in Virginia. He is the founder and executive director of the Monroe Institute, internationally known for its work on the effects of sound wave forms on human behavior.
Robert Monroe's second book, Far Journeys, tells the story of his research and development of the OOB experience and further explorations beyond time and space. It was published by Doubleday in 1985.
Mr. Monroe plays an active part in the work of the Monroe Institute and lives with his family in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia.
