Dennis Merritt Jones

Throughout his lifetime, Dennis Merritt Jones has been on a quest to inspire and lift people to a higher expression of life. His personal vision is to guide people to their purpose, knowing that when a person fully awakens to who they are and why they are on the planet, they begin to naturally share their gift with humankind and, in the process, create an enriching life for themselves and the world around them.

Dennisʼ most recent book, The Art of Uncertainty ~ How to Live in the Mystery of Life and Love It ~ was released by Tarcher/Penguin on June 9, 2011. In addition, Dennis is the award winning author of The Art of Being ~ 101 Ways to Practice Purpose in Your Life, also released by Tarcher/Penguin Publishing. The Art of Being received the Nautilus Gold Award designed to highlight books that offer new ideas and options for a better world for everyone. The Art of Being was also a Silver Finalist in the Multiple Sclerosis Society Books for a Better Life Awards. Study Guides are available for both books as a free download at Dennisʼ website: www.DennisMerrittJones.com. Dennis’ various books have been published in English, Spanish, Italian, and soon, Chinese, Portuguese and Swedish. In addition or being a keynote speaker, respected teacher, spiritual mentor and consultant, Dennis is also a columnist for print media as well as the Huffington Post.

Dennis believes we each have the capacity and, ultimately, the responsibility to contribute something positive to this world, leaving it a better place than it was when we arrived. His teachings promote a contemporary, life-affirming, spiritually logical and positive outlook on life, which are reflected in his writings. Dennis is a universal speaker who is equally comfortable speaking to an audience seeking spiritual inspiration or to those seeking a purely secular motivational message. He uses his understanding of universal principles to draw upon wisdom from both eastern and western philosophies. Dennis believes that there is a new consciousness of unity, cooperation and reverence rising in humankind where the value of all life is considered sacred. He believes this consciousness of unity, cooperation and reverence for life and the planet will be one of the most significant influences upon society as we approach the challenges of 21st century living.
