Jonathan Beecher was born in Chiswick, London, in 1956, and left formal education four months after his fifteenth birthday. After several blue-collar jobs—real work—and a stint selling clothes, he stumbled into the music business, eventually co-founding a publicly listed entertainment company and an independent record company.
Then, in 2000, a fall and head injury changed everything.
Unexpectedly, he began talking about death, telling anyone who asked that there is no death. Friends thought he had found God; he replied that he wasn’t looking for God, but perhaps God had found him. That journey led him to establish White Crow Books, a one-man publishing enterprise pursuing psychologist William James’s “white crow”—the anomaly that overturns our assumptions about reality.
