Early life

His first opening began after he read Hermann Hesse's book Siddhartha that inspired him to find another way to look at life and explore what Buddhism had to offer him. After exploring the teachings of Buddhism, Transcendental Meditation and other eastern philosophies, Sheen began studying Metaphysics at age 17 and began training in New York City. He then traveled to London to attend the Hubbard College near London before he went on to study advanced metaphysical techniques at their training school in Portugal and Spain. After completing his studies, he moved to Boston and worked as a management consultant, life coach and alternative therapist at the Executive Education Center.[1] It was here he became developing what was later to become Quantum Embodiment that emphasized putting into action the principles of neuro-science and Quantum Physics from a integrative standpoint. In 1975 he moved to West Palm Beach, Florida to co-manage a group of struggling enterprises involved in International Communications while establishing a new Alternative Medicine Counseling Group. During this time he became the Southeast US coordinator for the Association for Childbirth at Home International and gave home birth training classes while working with lay midwives and families who wanted to have their children in their home.

Next, Sheen worked for investment planning groups such as Bache and Co. (later Prudential Securities), Dean Witter Reynolds, E.F. Hutton and Merrill Lynch. To provide a wider array of financial planning services, Sheen began studying the new field of financial planning and joined the second graduating class of the College of Financial Planning to earn his CFP designation. He became one of the first independent CFP's by forming the Sheen Investment Management Group. During his time as President of the firm, he wrote "Your Money or Your Life", which later was further developed in his GP Putnam Son's best selling book Nest Egg Investing. During these years his financial advice he appeared on Good Morning America, CNN, USA Today and on hundreds of other radio, TV and media outlets throughout the United States. He also established his own radio show called the Sheen Investment Hour. This show began airing locally in South Florida before his show was placed on stations nationwide. During this time period he was also involved with the Jaycees, and was elected as the president of the West Palm Beach, North Palm beach and later Boca Raton chapters before accepting the position of Personal Development Chairman for the Florida Jaycees state organization. In 1984 after receiving numerous awards for his charitable work and personal development he received the Seiji Horiuchi Award from the United States Jaycees for the success with his personal development programs.[2]

Sheen stated that "...he encountered many clients concerned with their children's behavior in school and home who asked him to formulate classes to be taught similar skills as the ones they learned in a way suited to their specific needs. Brian responded to these children, often identified as having ADD/ADHD, by formulating the Clearminded Children Program. The success of the program later earned him a place on the Palm Beach County Schools Wellness Task Force, where he advocated for a change in school curriculum to address the needs of children." https://web.archive.org/web/20130630045539/http://www.briansheen.com:80/profile/ he continues ongoing activism with Palm Beach County Health Department in their ongoing efforts and bringing innovative wellness initiatives to Palm Beach County and is a often requested Keynote speaker.

This has also been turned into an APP for smart phones and an online training program to help individuals be medication free from ADD/ADHD and anxiety medications while helping others overcome stress and distraction in their life.
