An avid reader since childhood, Andrew immersed himself in his younger years with books on pop psychology and Eastern mysticism.
His first life-changing experience at age twenty recounted in his book “The Power and The Pain,” was when he was introduced to meditation: “I had no idea such a state of consciousness was even possible, and I had to find a way to develop and stabilize this blissful state of mind.” In an effort to understand his breakthrough experience, for the next seven years, he searched the world’s spiritual and religious traditions and studied physics at the University of Colorado.&nbsp;
“I didn’t know it then but was looking for reality. I thought physics described reality and that all my answers could be found there. But physics describes physical reality. It does not describe a complete spiritual reality. I abandoned my study of physics and entered the darkest period of my life, feeling utterly lost and alone. I had no idea what to do or where to go with my life. Because my brother and mother were both dentists, I decided to join the family, so to speak, and finally do something practical. I felt that dentistry would be a good profession to bring some stability and provide a way to help people.” In 1988 Andrew received his doctorate in dental surgery.
