George Hofmann
After a series of hospitalizations and a lot of bad behavior, George Hofmann managed to overcome the worst of bipolar disorder by adding practices in focused attention to the usual therapies of medicine and talk. He works to show others with anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder how to do the same. Before he began to write and teach, George studied with several well-know teachers in the Zen and secular mindfulness traditions. He is the author of Practicing Mental Illness and Resilience: Handling Anxiety in a Time of Crisis, both of which promote meditation, movement and meaningful work as keys to growth and healing. George has conducted workshops on meditation for individuals, families, support groups, healthcare professionals, churches and corporations. He lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with his wife, their daughter and two poorly behaved dogs.
