About the Authors and Artists

Hal Williamson is a master teacher with a compelling story. He is also a mechanical engineer, patent attorney and MBA who worked in the corporate world for 38 years. His rise from a presumably mentally retarded kid to an overachieving, recovering alcoholic, patent attorney spurred him to an intensive study of brain neuroscience. He is a nationally known speaker and creator of the celebrated “Pathways to Greatness” seminar series that has helped thousands bring purpose and happiness to their lives. The “Pathways” Hal walks are the neural pathways, which take him to a refreshing land where science and spirituality meet and harmonize. Hal has a talent for making complex material understandable.
