Bruce Cryer
The Graduate Institute
President
Bruce Cryer has had a lifelong fascination with optimizing human performance and well-being. He began as a singer/dancer/actor in New York, including two years in The Fantasticks, the world’s longest running musical. Bruce has taught performance-enhancing strategies as adjunct professor at Stanford University since 1997 and was named CEO of HeartMath in 2000. HeartMath’s breakthrough research and techniques were instrumental in the explosion of human biohacking and performance optimization over the past 30 years. His clients include Mayo Clinic, The World Bank, Kaiser Permanente, NASA, Unilever, Cisco, Cathay Pacific Airways and the NHS (UK).
Bruce is co-author of From Chaos to Coherence: The Power to Change Performance and the Harvard Business Review article “Pull the Plug on Stress”, both of which feature the HeartMath system.
A two year health crisis convinced him to focus his energies on creativity. Bruce now enjoys robust health while singing, dancing and enjoying photography. He recently released Renaissance Human, an album of original songs co-created with the Brothers Koren and he performs regularly in New York. He is President of The Graduate Institute, a graduate school offering Masters degrees and certificates in holistic studies.
