Michael Murphy (born in 1930) is the co-founder of the Esalen Institute, a key figure in the Human Potential Movement and author of ''The Future of the Body'' and other books on topics related to extraordinary human potential. ==Life and career== Michael Murphy was born to an Irish father and Basque mother in Salinas, California.〔''Utopias and Utopians: An Historical Dictionary'', R. C. S. Trahair〕 In April 1950, while enrolled in the pre-med program at Stanford University, he mistakenly wandered into a lecture on comparative religions. This lecture so fanned the flame of his interest in the integration of Eastern and Western thought that he enrolled in the class and subsequently began meditation. On January 15, 1951, during seated meditation by Lake Lagunita at Stanford, he experienced what he describes as a "hinge moment", after which he dropped out of the pre-med program with a new vision for the purpose of his life. He continued with his formal education, earning his B.A. in psychology in 1952 from Stanford University. After graduation, he was drafted by the US Army and spent two years stationed in Puerto Rico as a psychologist. He returned to Stanford for two quarters of graduate studies in philosophy before he quit in 1956 to go to India. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Murphy (author)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
