What happens when you fall hopelessly in love right in the middle of an intense high-tech conflict? And what if the woman you fall in love with is Mahalena Bernhardt, a half European, half Mayan a la nueva champion ready to risk her life in order to love in a new way?

Jack Hadley, a young UC Berkeley psych professor, is Mahalena’s gutsy male counterpart who must somehow keep up with her while she tries to defuse a high-tech terrorist scheme to take over the minds of world leaders. She and Jack venture into uncharted realms of intimate encounter and discovery, after Jack catches her red-handed stealing a mysterious “old order” phallic artifact.

Rather than turning her in, Jack helps Mahalena smuggle the ancient Mayan sculpture down to Guatemala to battle against her genius brother, his rogue CIA partner, and a deadly shamanic priest. In a bizarre climax, a new vision of balanced male-female entanglement fulfills this inspiring tale of psych-tech invention, intimate struggle, and spiritual awakening.

Psychologist John Selby is the author of over thirty fiction and nonfiction books plus a dozen feature screenplays. Although he’s worked as a therapist, musician, psych-tech researcher, and author coach, John’s primary passion has been the exploration of radical transformation literature and films. He studied literature at Princeton University and screenwriting at the American Film Institute. Emerging from a four-generation California cattle-ranching heritage, he has done brain research for the National Institutes of Health; anthropological fieldwork exploring Native American shamanic traditions; and served as cofounder and CEO of two internet online-therapy corporations (the BrightMind Network and WizeWell Inc). High Heart, and the parallel novels Higher Forces and Ten Percent Max, are John’s most recent fiction creations. He lives in the foothills of Santa Cruz with his wife, Birgitta.
