The Journey of Robert Monroe: From Out-of-Body Explorer to Consciousness Pioneer by Ronald Russell traces the extraordinary life and work of Robert A. Monroe (1915–1995), founder of The Monroe Institute and author of the classic Journeys Out of the Body.
Through interviews, personal recollections, and historical context, Russell reveals how Monroe moved from an accidental out-of-body experiencer to a serious researcher into human consciousness, altered states, and life beyond the physical body.
The book follows Monroe’s development of Hemi-Sync® audio technology, the founding of The Monroe Institute, and his influence on fields ranging from psychical research to transpersonal psychology.
This biography offers both an engaging life story and a comprehensive introduction to Monroe’s enduring contribution to consciousness studies.
 
Ronald Russell is a writer and educator who has long been involved with The Monroe Institute. His clear and well-researched account makes this biography an essential companion to Monroe’s own trilogy: Journeys Out of the Body, Far Journeys, and Ultimate Journey.
