Mr. Bryan is best known as an expert and popular trainer who receives highest marks for his design and delivery of effective curricula, many of which are now taught in colleges and universities around the world. He co-developed (with Julia Cameron) the popular creativity course The Artist’s Way, which has helped over 2 million people more fully realize their creative potential. His book The Artist’s Way at Work: Riding the Dragon (William Morrow, 1998) successfully merges the exercises of The Artist’s Way with his theoretical work at MIT to produce a cutting edge, pragmatic course for business innovation, leadership, creativity and motivation. He is currently hosting a television series about this work for PBS and UPCtv, Amsterdam.
Mr. Bryan knows intimately the struggles (and rewards) of international business under difficult political conditions. In 1990, he served on the joint Soviet/American free enterprise transition team in Russia for the Department of Commerce and the former Soviet Academy of Science, and he has designed, manufactured and marketed entrepreneurial products around the world, including the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, Korea and Hong Kong.
As an avocation, Mr. Bryan works extensively to bridge the growing gap between fathers, mothers and children. His book, The Prodigal Father: Reuniting Fathers and Their Children (Crown Publishing, 1997), has been influential in creating new divorce legislation, and his latest book, Codes of Love: How to Rethink Your Family and Remake Your Life, won international acclaim. He also served two years as a regularly featured expert on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
