Vernon Howard
A Modern Mystic
Vernon Howard (1918 – 1992) was an American author and spiritual teacher who presented the Wisdom of the Ages in the language of today. He is especially known for his clear, direct explanation of the cause of every human problem — and the sure cure. His practical approach has shown millions how to bring the power of Truth into their daily lives.
Howard was born in Massachusetts in 1918. He began his writing career early in life and by 1965 was writing best sellers like The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power, and The Power of Your Supermind. Published by Prentice Hall for decades, these books and others are classics in the field of inner development. His readership is estimated to be at least eight million people in several different languages.
In the 1970's Vernon Howard founded a school for authentic spiritual development called New Life Foundation. People traveled from all over the world to hear him speak. He continued to write and teach at New Life Foundation until his death in 1992. New Life Foundation is a bright place that continues disseminating his teachings today.
Thousands of new readers a year discover Vernon Howard for the first time. Few authors have published so rich a harvest of eternal truths, expressed with such clarity and simplicity.
Vernon Howard broke through to another world. He saw through the illusion of suffering and fear and loneliness. From 1965 until his death in 1992 he wrote books and conducted classes which reflect a degree of skill and understanding that may be unsurpassed in modern history.
Human Behavior Magazine said of him, “Vernon Howard is probably the clearest writer on these subjects in the English language.” His warmth and refreshing sense of humor made him a delightful subject for interviews, talk shows and articles. In 1983 Michael Benner of station KLOS in Los Angeles, California said, “Vernon Howard is one of the most powerful speakers I have ever interviewed. He has an uncanny ability to cut through the fluff and puff and jolt people into seeing who they really are. At times humorous and gentle,at other times demanding and forceful. Vernon Howard holds the record for generating responses to our KLOS talk shows. Not everyone likes his message, but I can’t imagine anyone turning him off."
