About Michael W. A professional writer, editor, and for more than two decades, Michael W. Taft is fascinated by what neuroscience, biology, psychology, archeology, and technology can tell us about the human condition. Along with Peter Baumann, Michael authored Ego: The Fall of the Twin Towers and the Rise of an Enlightened Humanity. EGO is the first book to explore the positive evolutionary potential hidden in one of the most destructive events in history by taking a look at the evolution of the ego—its origin and history—drawing on evolutionary theory, neuroscientific studies on brain plasticity and emotion, genetics, and other new areas of research.

He lives in Berkeley, California, where he co-writes a secular meditation blog called Deconstructing Yourself
