George Leonard, a clairvoyant human potential icon and co-founder of the Esalen Institute's research arm, died yesterday at the age of 86 in his Mill Valley home, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
"He was a tremendous social observer. He was a guide for us," Esalen founder Michael Murphy told the Chronicle. "He saw California as a window to the future, and he was right."
Leonard was the author of bestselling books including Education and Ecstasy and The Transformation. Leonard, along with Murphy, founded the Esalen Center for Theory & Research.
