Gary Zukav is a best-selling author and a former Green Beret during the war in Vietnam. Gary Zukav was born in Texas and brought up in the Midwest, mostly in Kansas, and got a scholarship to Harvard. After getting out of Harvard, he volunteered to go into the U.S. Army and became a Special Forces officer. After leaving the Green Berets, he suffered from anger and sexual addiction. Then one day he was living in San Francisco and was invited to a meeting of a group of physicists. He was amazed at what he heard. He attended more meetings and read and learned more about the subject. He then wrote a book about what he had learnt. A book about quantum physics for people who had no scientific background or interest in science, but who wanted to know about this thing called quantum physics. That became The Dancing Wu Li Masters and won the American Book Award for Science. He got so engaged with the book that the problems of anger and judgment and bitterness and sexual addiction had no room in lis life. His later works includes instruction on creating "authentic power" and becoming emotionally aware.

Zukav is a recurring guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show, having made regular appearances during the mid-to-late 1990s and returning in 2007. His most recent appearance discussed how to create a spiritual partnership.
