Moshe Gersht

Moshe Gersht is a spiritual teacher, speaker and Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author, raised in Los Angeles and shaped by more than a decade of Torah study in Jerusalem. He is the author of It's All the Same to Me and The Three Conditions, and the speaker of the TEDx talk The Two Conditions to Unconditional Happiness. On his own website he describes his mission as sharing "the life giving wisdom of unconditional love" by empowering people to awaken to a higher consciousness.

His path began in Los Angeles, where he was raised by parents who celebrated both ancient wisdom and modern spirituality, and where he was exposed early to questions about purpose, consciousness and the nature of reality. In his teens and early twenties he found expression in music: signed to a record label, he wrote, recorded and toured with a pop-punk band. At the height of that success he experienced a profound awakening that made him question what he wanted, and he walked away from his childhood dream and moved to Jerusalem.

In Jerusalem, Moshe Gersht spent over a decade immersed in Torah, Kabbalah and Chassidus, studying with teachers he describes as some of today's great spiritual masters. He became a Rabbi and taught Torah in yeshiva, in seminaries and in small groups. After what he calls a dark night of the soul, followed by a second awakening, he dedicated himself to understanding consciousness, inner transformation and the lived experience of unconditional love. His stated aim since then has been to translate timeless wisdom into accessible language for the modern soul.

His work takes several forms. His books, It's All the Same to Me and The Three Conditions, are written as practical spiritual guides toward higher consciousness, purpose and living with love, joy and inner peace. His TEDx talk lays out a formula for happiness that begins with our relationship to the universal nature of goodness and possibility. He also teaches through a digital course and leads Awaken, a weekly program on living enlightened, described on his site as a weekly call to remember who you really are. His site also lists conversations on podcasts and radio, including The Great Day Podcast with Meir Kay, The Fearless Now with Sam Led, America Meditating Radio with Sister Jenna and Changeable with Dr. Amy Johnson.

Moshe Gersht's teaching is expressed in short, memorable lines, such as "Energy before action. Being before doing," and "The love you seek to find, you are." His site says he has collaborated with Deepak Chopra, Byron Katie and Gary Vaynerchuk, and that his TEDx talk has been viewed by over a million people.

His work is meant for people across cultures and backgrounds who want to awaken to their true nature, dissolve inner resistance and live from clarity, presence and love. Both Jewish and wider spiritual readers appear among those who have endorsed his book. Rav Asher Weiss and Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski offered rabbinical endorsements, and Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Sharon Salzberg and Greg McKeown have also endorsed his work. Marianne Williamson wrote that he "turns spiritual truths into medicine our hearts are longing for." Readers and listeners come away with practical tools for personal growth and a way of living that, in his words on his site, helps people remember who they truly are.
