Jean-Claude Koven Announced as Spirituality/Religion Columnist for UPI

Los Angeles, CA - Jean-Claude Koven, award-winning author of Going Deeper: How to Make Sense of Your Life When Your Life Makes No Sense, Prism House Press, joins United Press International (UPI) as a weekly columnist for their Religion and Spirituality Forum effective immediately. Koven’s brief is to comment on the often rocky road traveled by humankind in their search for divine grace. UPI will distribute Koven’s weekly column, Shooting Dead Horses, every Tuesday.

UPI, established in 1907, is a leading provider of critical information to media outlets, businesses, governments and researchers worldwide. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., UPI also has offices in Beirut, Hong Kong, London, Santiago, Seoul and Tokyo. UPI articles are read by millions of people throughout the world.

During recent book tours through the San Francisco Bay Area, Hawaii, southern California and Asheville, N.C., Koven made numerous appearances as a radio and TV guest, was a featured speaker at the 4th Annual New Living Expo, and spoke with audiences at metaphysical centers such as Los Angeles’ renowned metaphysical bookstore, The Bodhi Tree, as well as East West Books, the New Thought Church, the Sanctuary of Mentalphysics, and the Unity Church. Listeners have remarked on his “uncommon humor and wisdom” and how they received a “life-altering view of reality.”

Koven, a highly successful entrepreneur who started and ran more than a dozen businesses, studied with spiritual masters and led awareness-expanding workshops on six continents during his work years. He was born in France, educated at NYC public schools, and for a while at M.I.T.

Koven’s last book, Going Deeper was judged the Best Metaphysical Book of the Year by both Allbooks Review (Editor’s Choice Award) and USA Book News. It is “the hottest metaphysical book of the millennium,” according to Linda Salvin, nationally syndicated radio show host. Jeanne Houston, PhD, Director of the Foundation for Mind Research, calls it “mythic and masterful…. a book to be read and reread.”
