About Hal Goldstein
As I have made my way in the world while looking for what is true, teaching and uplifting others has given my life purpose and meaning.
I spent my first 35 years traveling and earning masters degrees in mind (computer science), heart (social work), and spirit (TM teacher/Interdisciplinary studies), and then working as a Hewlett Packard software engineer, a social worker, and a teacher of the Transcendental Meditation technique.
n 1984, my late wife Rita and I honeymooned by driving from Palo Alto, California to Fairfield, Iowa to meditate in large groups for personal development and world peace.
To earn a living in Fairfield, we started Thaddeus Computing, which supported mobile computing users with magazines, apps, and refurbished devices. I semi-retired in 2011, remaining a silent partner. Today the company supports iPhone users at iPhoneLife.com with free daily tips, classes, and tutorials.
Starting in 2012, for nine years I taught entrepreneurship at Maharishi International University, where each day a guest Fairfield entrepreneur shared their story and wisdom. From those talks, I wrote Meditating Entrepreneurs - Creating Success from the Stillness Within, describing 15 unlikely journeys in pre-interenet rural Iowa that produced successful businesses.
I began releasing in 2008 and found it a perfect complement to my meditation practice. Releasing can be done at anytime, anyplace to bring peace in the midst of turmoil. When I ran my company, many employees started releasing which increased harmony and overall company effectiveness.
I became a Release Technique facilitator in 2013, and Larry Crane made me a teacher in 2015. I love sharing with others the releasing benefits I've received from teaching and writing The Releasing Book--self-confidence, personal power, capacity to love, and peace.
