Living in the Light

Gawain began her career in publishing in 1977, when she and fellow NWL cofounder Marc Allen began writing and producing educational booklets out of the kitchen of their small apartment in Oakland, Calif., under the name Whatever Publishing. Gawain's first book, Creative Visualization, put the publisher on the map with the help of Oprah Winfrey, who invited Gawain to discuss the book before The Oprah Winfrey Show was even syndicated and ran the interview on national television once it was. To date, the book has sold more than seven million copies sold worldwide.
Gawain went on to write several other books in the mind/body/spirit space, including Living in the Light, Return to the Garden, The Path of Transformation, The Four Levels of Healing, Creating True Prosperity, and Developing Intuition. Her books have sold more than ten million copies, according to New World Library, and have been translated into 38 languages.
