About Steve Bhaerman
Steve Bhaerman is an internationally known author, humorist, and
workshop leader. For the past 33 years, he has written and performed as Swami
Beyondananda, the "Cosmic Comic." Swami's comedy has been called
"irreverently uplifting" and has been described both as "comedy disguised
as wisdom" and "wisdom disguised as comedy."
As the Swami, Steve is the author of Driving Your Own Karma (1989), When You See a Sacred
Cow, Milk It For All It's Worth (1993), Duck Soup for the Soul (1999) and Swami for
Precedent: A 7-Step Plan to Heal the Body Politic and Cure Electile Dysfunction (2004).
In his "past life" (before Swami), Steve started an alternative high school in
Washington, D.C. and co-authored a book about his experiences, No Particular Place to Go:
Making of a Free High School. A political science major, he later taught history to
autoworkers at Wayne State University in Detroit as part of the Weekend College. In 1980,
Steve co-founded Pathways Magazine in Ann Arbor, Michigan, one of the first publications
bringing together holistic health, personal growth, spirituality, and politics. Subsequent
to Pathways, Steve was a freelance writer and co-author with Don McMillan of Friends and
Lovers: How to Meet the People You Want to Meet (Writer's Digest Books, 1986).
Since 2005, Steve has written a political blog with a spiritual perspective, Notes From
the Trail, hailed as an encouraging voice "in the bewilderness." His latest
book, written with cellular biologist Bruce H. Lipton, PhD is Spontaneous Evolution: Our
Positive Future and a Way to Get There From Here (Hay House, 2009). Steve is active in
transpartisan politics and the practical application of Spontaneous Evolution. He can be
