AUTHOR'S BIO: ROBERT I. WINER, M.D.

Robert Winer, M.D. has a successful medical practice in neurology, neuropsychiatry, and psychopharmacology. In 1975, he had a life-changing spiritual experience that he says, "transformed my way of thinking about success. Before that I had the typical get-ahead-at-all-costs mentality."

Dr. Winer says that most people never stop to examine the source of this "get-ahead" attitude. He sees it like this: "Bookstores are filled with self-help books, each claiming to be superior to the last one. Why does the public devour these books? Because a subconscious spiritual vacuum in the heart keeps pressing for something intangible yet unobtained." Just like most of us, Dr. Winer found himself seeking after more money, recognition, leisure and ease, without finding any lasting contentment.

Recalling his own experience, Dr. Winer says, "After several startling supernatural experiences, I couldn't deny that God was real. I knew with a deep conviction that I could no longer live without placing my spiritual life above all other pursuits – even a noble one such as helping people through medicine. From that day on – to the best of my ability – I put God first in everything that I did. I can say without hesitation that I never for one moment regret the decision I made as a young man. Now I want to help others find a spiritual anchor for their lives that works for them."

In the fall of 1993, Dr. Winer reduced his medical practice to three days a week to devote himself to seeing people develop spiritually. Dr. Winer is convinced that, "no matter how successful you are in the externals, without spiritual development you'll never find lasting peace or contentment." Robert Winer, M.D.'s book, "Ten Commandments for Success," distills his philosophy for life by explaining ten easy-to-understand principles of prosperous personal, business, and family living from the life of Moses.

Dr. Winer is the author of "The Calling," "Ten Commandments for Success," "Heartwords," and over fifty articles on national and international political affairs, religion, spirituality, and medicine. He lives in Philadelphia with his wife and three daughters.
