About Arthur Rosenfeld - favorite books, music, charities and more.



Arthur Rosenfeld is an authority on the spiritual dimensions of Eastern thinking for a Western world. A martial arts master and philosopher, Rosenfeld is a contributor to national magazines including Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Parade has been seen on Fox News and other networks, and heard on numerous national radio programs.

Along with the Dalai Lama, Rosenfeld was a finalist for the prestigious Books For A Better Life award for his bestseller The Truth About Chronic Pain (Basic Books, New York, May 2003) and has been cited in national media including Newsweek, Ebony and Parade. Originator of the fiction genre now known as “Kung Fu Noir”, he is the author of the thrillers The Cutting Season (a finalist for both the ForeWord Book of the Year Award and USA Book of the Year Award), The Crocodile And The Crane, and Quiet Teacher (YMAA Books, Boston, 2009) and has penned several optioned motion picture screenplays, the critically acclaimed novel of magical realism A Cure For Gravity, and the hard-boiled mystery Diamond Eye, the first and only novel to be promoted by the federal government and sold on a government website.

 


Rosenfeld’s wisdom is hard-won. He began his training in the 1980 and enjoys a strong reputation and august martial lineage. A Yale graduate, he combines the scientific background and communication skills gained through post-graduate studies at Cornell and the University of California with real-world savvy gleaned from creative, high-level corporate positions. Drawing on an academic background in medicine and science he has engaged viewers of national television programs such as Fox and Friends, and touched seminar audiences including prison inmates, healthcare professionals, and captains of industry.
