Edvaldo Pereira Lima transforms life stories into narratives that inspire. Born in Brazil, at 17 he became a citizen of the world - moving first to Costa Rica, then to the United States, and later to other countries across Europe and Latin America. His deep cultural ties with North and Spanish America began even earlier, at 12, when American Peace Corps Volunteer Ann Iodice Hoskins arrived in his small town and opened the world to him by teaching him English.Writer, journalist, scholar, and coach, Edvaldo has authored 30 books - and counting. Across these works, his writing spans biography, the profile, personal essay, travel narrative, and the art of writing itself, always anchored by a single, powerful conviction - that storytelling is one of the most transformative forces in human life.Out of his writing practice and teaching, he created the innovative Escrita Total (Total Writing) method - a distinctive approach designed to unlock each person's spontaneous inner writer, dissolving the fears and blocks that keep so many voices silent. Through this method, he has guided pro and novice writers alike on their creative journeys.The evolution of consciousness permeates his books as a universal theme - a thread that connects the personal to the universal, the individual story to the larger human story. To focus on stories of people who are making a difference in the world by embracing their journeys of self-discovery and human evolution - inspiring society to transform, and all of us to evolve toward a higher state of being, feeling as brothers and sisters of a single, gloriously diverse tribe, the human race, living on this beautiful blue planet the extraordinary experience of Life - is his guiding star.Holding a PhD from the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil, and a postdoctoral fellowship from the University of Toronto, Canada, Edvaldo brings academic rigor to work that is, at its heart, deeply human. His distinction lies in people-centered storytelling - in everything he creates, and in everything he guides others to create.
