In his long life as naval historian, Canadian ambassador, environmentalist and author, James George has known a number of remarkable people and has lived in some of the world's most interesting countries, such as Sri Lanka, Greece, India, and Iran. The Dalai Lama calls him 'my old friend.' Chogyam Trungpa called him 'a wise and benevolent man, an ideal statesman.' His two books ask humanity to wake up to our true spiritual natures and to our true stewardship of the Earth. He lives with his wife in Toronto, where he was born.
