Joe Vitale is purported to be a certified metaphysical practitioner [ Metaphysical Practitioner Education Programs [http://www.cms.edu/ed.html The College of Metaphysical Studies] ] , a certified Chi Kung healer, an ordained minister, a certified hypnotherapist and an author (this last one is for sure, judging by the number of books in his name listed at such sites as Amazon and Barnes & Noble). He appeared in the much acclaimed movie "The Secret (2006 film)", on CNN's "Larry King Live" program and "Extra TV." He was also featured in a "Newsweek" interview on "The Secret", and "The New York Post" wrote an article for one of his P.T. Barnum-esque publicity stunts: "The Canine Concert."

Also to his credit are several Internet Marketing companies which he either owns or is affiliated with, such as Nightingale Conant, a prominent personal development corporation. He was also the keynote speaker at the 2007 National Speakers Association annual convention. [cite web

Joe Vitale attended Niles McKinley High School in Ohio. After graduation he attended Kent State University, majoring in public relations and journalism, but failed to graduate. He holds a doctorate in metaphysical science (Metaphysical Science is described as the understanding and application of metaphysics to everyday life in order to help people feel better, take control of their lives, resolve problems without stress, and reach a higher potential. This is accomplished by learning to release their view of life as a drama – which merely evokes problems reflecting pain and upset in their daily lives.) from the University of Metaphysics in Sedona, Arizona,cite web
