Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Terry O'Brien was born in Mackay, Queensland, and now lives on the Sunshine Coast. Terry has been a teacher in private high schools for over thirty years, being influential in the formation of many young adult lives. He has earned a graduate diploma in religious education, which has led him to a passionate interest in learning how to see beyond human conditioning and prejudice. Terry does not see himself as a philosopher or theologian, rather as a purveyor of ideas. His words merely act as a mirror in which to see yourself, as a guide to personal fulfilment. He is an avid reader, and enjoys walking, playing golf and supporting the local community.
