Jemsek puts forth ideas from his new psychology book Quiet Horizon: Releasing Ideology and Embracing Self-Knowledge (Trafford Publishing, 2011, ISBN 978-1-4269-1127-9, $24.95 paperback, 332 pages, 5 ½ x 8 ½; also on Kindle for $7.69) which is available at online booksellers Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, QuietHorizon.com, and other Internet book seller web sites.
Quiet Horizon explores how external forces of ideology can affect our internal drive for self-knowledge. He does this by giving us a bird's eye view of his own experience when he joined the Ananda Marga spiritual movement as a young man and then left two years later. His departure, with ambivalent feelings, launched his journey to study the differences between "trying on an identity" to "discovering one directly." His treatise is seen through events in our social history, as well as through psychological determinants.
Greg Jemsek began his work as a therapist in the mid-1970's training Lifeline volunteers and working with heroin addicted Vietnam War veterans. In 1984 he received his Master's Degree in Consciousness Studies from John F. Kennedy University. In 1992, he immigrated to New Zealand where he practiced as a psychotherapist for 8 years, and supervised agency counselors for the New Zealand Association of Counselors. He was Program Director for the Graduate Psychotherapy Training Program at the Eastern Institute of Technology in Napier, NZ where he established an on-site Supervision Clinic and brought modules in Narrative, Gestalt, and Hakomi Therapy into the curriculum. At EIT he launched the first ever module devoted to indigenous Maori perspectives on mental health. During this time he also trained in Narrative Therapy with Michael White and David Epston. He uses narrative as his primary approach in his Ashland, Oregon practice. Jemsek's blog at www.quiethorizon.com discusses contemporary issues related to fundamentalist thinking, cults, and paths to self-knowledge outside of ideologies.

For almost the same amount of time, he has served in an Air Force medical corps, spending 8 years outside the U.S. in Afghanistan and Iraq.
