About the author

When the doctor told Bruce Klein he had colon cancer, it was a moment of shock and disbelief. However, within that diagnosis, he found an unexpected opportunity to learn about life and happiness in profound ways. A native of the Pacific Northwest and a proud father of two remarkable adult daughters, his journey has been anything but ordinary.

Bruce’s professional career has mostly been in corporate international trade compliance. Yet, the trajectory of his life was significantly shaped by over seven years in Asia, where he worked in education. This period not only honed his professional skills but also instilled in him a deep respect for the continent’s rich tapestry of beliefs and cultures.

Raised in a strict religious environment, he chose to distance himself from all spiritual pursuits in his twenties. But in 2017, an unexpected spiritual renaissance transformed his life in ways he could never have predicted. Facing cancer brought about another wave of remarkable metaphysical experiences, which he details in his book. Through these experiences, he discovered that life’s greatest lessons often come from the most unexpected places.
