Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur

James Redfield, born on March 19, 1950, grew up in a rural area near Birmingham, Alabama, in a Methodist setting that he later described as warm and community-minded but not fully satisfying his deeper questions about spiritual experience. He studied sociology at Auburn University, later earned a master’s degree in counseling, and spent more than fifteen years working as a therapist with abused adolescents. During those years he also immersed himself in Eastern philosophy, especially Taoism and Zen, while exploring the human potential movement. That mix of counseling, spirituality, intuition, and social thought became the foundation of his later work as a novelist and teacher.
