Biografie & Werdegang des Autors

Miguel Ángel Ruiz Macías, known to readers as don Miguel Ruiz, was born in Tijuana, Baja California, on August 27, 1952, the youngest of thirteen children in a family shaped by healing practices and Toltec tradition. Although that spiritual inheritance was central to his upbringing, he first chose a scientific career. He studied in Tijuana and Mexico City, trained in medicine at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, completed his internship in 1979, and began practicing neurosurgery in Tijuana with his older brother Carlos Ruiz. The major turning point came in the 1980s, when he left medicine, moved to San Diego, and committed himself to exploring and teaching the philosophical lineage he had inherited, guided in part by his mother, Sarita Vasquez.
