He was born near Haverhill, Massachusetts and began his writing career in the 1940s as an author of humor and children’s books. He began speaking on the principles of personal development in the late 1950s while living in southern California. In the 1960s, he began writing books that focused on spiritual and psychological growth. These writings emphasized the importance of and practice of self-awareness. By the early 1970s, he had moved to Boulder City, Nevada and had begun teaching spiritual development classes after being contacted by numerous individuals interested in his writings.
Howard drew from what he perceived as being a “common thread” among several different philosophical and spiritual traditions for his insights and teachings, including Christian and Eastern mysticism, Gurdjieffian Fourth Way teachings, the Gospels of the New Testament, Jungian psychology, J. Krishnamurti and American Transcendentalism.
In 1979, Howard founded the non-profit learning center New Life Foundation, where he continued to teach until his death in 1992. The foundation, now located in Pine, Arizona, continues Howard’s legacy via personal classes held by some of the students who studied with Howard, as well as the marketing of his writings and recorded talks.voir moins
