About the authors
Jean Houston, Ph.D. is a prolific writer and author of 26 books, as well as being one of the founders of the Human Potential Movement. Her book, A Mythic Life, explores the remarkable encounters that shaped her life. When she was 13, she literally ran into an old man on Park Avenue in New York City on her way to school. After this mishap, they became friends, and she enjoyed listening to him on various occasions. At a much later time, she learned that she had been talking with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.
She also spent time with Eleanor Roosevelt. She was deeply influenced by the work of Joseph Campbel, most notably by The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949). But perhaps her most significant mentor was Margaret Mead, who was also a personal friend.
In Dr. Houston's book, Jump Time, she explores a new global paradigm and speaks boldly of a regenesis of human society. The questions raised in this book and the exciting suggestion of possibilities are producing new pioneers - Social Artists - working on the frontiers of this new global society.
