Anders Nilsson was born in Sweden where he has spent most of his life. He received a PhD in Physics from Uppsala University, Sweden, and has engaged in fundamental research in physics and chemistry. In 2000, he moved to California to become a Professor of Photon Science at Stanford University. Nilsson is currently studying the fundamental properties and structure of liquid water and also chemical energy transformations on surfaces that are, for instance, related to artificial photosynthesis. He has authored or co-authored over 250 scientific papers and one scientific book. In parallel, and independent from his role as Stanford professor, he has nurtured a strong spiritual awakening that started in the early 1990s, and that has been guided over the years by his own internal voice. He has led numerous spiritual workshops in Sweden. This is his first spiritual book and his teaching program and upcoming events can be found on www.gentleway.me.
