Philosopher Jacob Needleman has been teaching and writing about the riches of the inner life for four decades, giving a sophisticated but accessible perspective on the “big questions” of existence. A popular professor of philosophy at San Francisco State University who has been featured on Bill Moyers’ “World of Ideas” series, Needleman’s most recent works include What is God? and An Unknown World. Only one journalist has consistently followed Dr. Needleman's career over many years: Fearless Books founder D. Patrick Miller. Since 1989 he has conducted six feature interviews with Dr. Needleman on these subjects: Making Sense of Mysticism; Searching for the American Soul; The Secrets of Time and Love; The Meanings of Money; Meeting God Without Religion; and The Need for Philosophy. In this remarkable book of searching yet down-to-earth dialogues, readers will discover the keys to their own practice of philosophy, "the love of wisdom."

D. Patrick Miller is a native of Charlotte, NC who has lived most of his adult life in northern California. He began his career in journalism as an investigative reporter while also learning typog- raphy and graphic design. After a seven-year health crisis in his thirties, Miller began writing on psychological and spiritual subject matter, becoming a leading writer on the contemporary spiritual discipline known as A Course in Miracles. He has published over 100 magazine articles in The Sun: A Magazine of Ideas, Yoga Journal, Columbia Journalism Review, Mother Jones, the East Bay Express of Oakland, CA, and many other print and online media. After writing several books for major publishers in the 1990s, Miller founded Fearless Books in 1997 and continues to publish his own work, as well as both print and digital titles for about a dozen other authors. He is a member of the Authors Guild and Independent Book Publishers Association, and has served five years as President of the Northern California Chapter of the American Society of Journalists and Authors.
