Jordan Gruber, JD, MA, founded the early online Enlightenment.Com community. After practicing law at Cooley Godward and focusing on IP law at NASA’s Moffett Field, and working at GNOSIS Magazine (a highly regarded journal of the Western esoteric tradition), Jordan became “the Practical Wordsmith,” a writer, ghostwriter, editor, and writing coach and general transformational ninja. As such, Jordan has co-created cutting-edge works on everything from forensic audio and financial services to health, wellness, psychology, and spirituality. Recent editing credits include Scott Rogers’s The Mindful Law Student (2022), Cindy Lou Golin’s The Shadow Playbook (2023), and Lawrence Ford’s The Secrets of the Seasons (2020).

Jordan and Jim Fadiman have been close friends since the early 1990 when Jordan would seek advice on Enlightenment.Com. Jordan contributed to Jim’s 2011 book, The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide (2011), and 2020 saw publication of their co-authored book on healthy multiplicity—Your Symphony of Selves: Discover and Understand More of Who We Are (Inner Traditions). Since then, both Jim’s and Jordan’s attention have increasingly turned solely toward Microdosing for Health, Healing, and Enhanced Performance (St. Martin’s Press, 2025); see http://MicrodosingBook.com .
