Norman Friedman became the founder and former owner of a multimillion-dollar electronic research company before his scientific background and his interest in metaphysics drove him to step away from the business world and take a deeper look into these two seemingly separate areas. His explorations lead to the writing of his two well-respected books Bridging Science and Spirit and The Hidden Domain.

A frequent radio guest and lecturer, Friedman also speaks at universities nationwide. He lives in St Louis with his wife, Leah Friedman.
