Victor Daniels is Professor of Psychology at Sonoma State University. He was the first director of its India Studies program and is a past Chair of the Psychology Department. Zen Master Jakusho Kwong-Roshi, abbot of Sonoma Mountain Zen Center, has been his meditation teacher and a role model for several decades. In addition, Victor studied with Aryuvedic and Tantric master Harish Johari for the last 20 years of Johari's life, and also finds Sri Mata Amritanandamayi a source of great wisdom and inspiration.

Victor received his M.A. and Ph.D. from UCLA where he studied with both scientifically- and clinically-oriented faculty. He was heavily influenced by Harold H. Kelley and John P. Seward, with concentrations in social psychology, personality, and motivation. He also became interested in both Western and Eastern philosophies and spiritual traditions, and has taught meditation in workshops and courses for 35 years. Skilled in Gestalt Therapy, he has served as program chair for two international Gestalt conferences. He is the first person to receive a 40-year service award from his University. He lives in Sonoma County, California with his wife Kooch N. Daniels, with whom he previously co-authored Tarot d’Amour. With his colleague Laurence J. Horowitz, he has also written Being and Caring: A Psychology for Living.
