About the author

I studied physics, electrical engineering, and computer science in the former Yugoslavia (now Serbia), and have been living and working as a software engineer in Silicon Valley for more than twenty years. A lifelong devotion to philosophy, to the study of the human mind, and to contemplative practice has guided most of what I have done. I have lived in, or returned often to, about a dozen countries, which has been a gift and a lasting education in how differently the same world can be seen.
