Dr. Jeffery A. Martin is a founder of the Transformative Technology space, serial entrepreneur and social scientist who researches personal transformation and the states of greatest human well-being. He spent the last 15+ years conducting the largest international study on persistent non-symbolic experience (PNSE), or as it’s publicly known Fundamental Wellbeing, which includes the types of consciousness commonly known as: persistent awakening, enlightenment, nonduality, the peace that passeth understanding, unitive experience, and hundreds of others. More recently, he has used this research to make systems available to help people obtain profound psychological benefits in a rapid, secular, reliable, and safe way.

Jeffery’s current work involves helping people use what’s been learned to make the life-changing transformation into Fundamental Wellbeing. His initial recent study achieved strong validation, with approximately 70% of participants who successfully completed the program reaching ongoing non-symbolic experience in less than 4 months (FindersCourse.com). This was followed up with a shorter 6 program that achieved a 65% success rate (45Days.one), and an 90+% success rate for 45Days plus two follow-up classes (that are all completed in under 4 months) His interest in Transformative Technology comes from a belief that findings like his can be translated into mass consumer technologies and affect billions of lives worldwide. Since 2008 he has worked to bring together the stakeholders from academia, technology, business, finance, and public policy to create a sustainable technology space that dramatically improves human well-being.

A bestselling author and award-winning educator, Jeffery has authored, co-authored, or co-edited over 20 books and numerous other publications. He is also an active early stage investor in TransTech startups.
