About the Author

Welcome! I’m Tyler Golden, father, husband, author, outdoor enthusiast, backpacker, Scoutmaster, student of mindfulness, and founder of Golden Moment Publishing.

Through my love of the outdoors, going on adventures like the Colorado Trail, and research into mindfulness, emotional health, and mental health, I've come to discover a type of presence, stillness, and strength within me. And with that I've found a passion for spreading awareness of these areas through storytelling and sharing research.

My book, The Trail to Here: An Unexpected Path to Presence, blends my exploration of the outdoors with research and practical insights from my life experience. The book is estimated to be published in January 2027. Stay tuned for updates!

​My mission is to share research, practices, and stories that inspire readers to embrace the power of the present moment. And I want to provide useful resources to help overcome the everyday stresses that come with modern society.

I believe we are all more connected than we can possibly imagine. We are all walking this trail called life, and have a far grander trail within us.

Thank you for visiting my site. I hope these works help to inspire you to start your own path to presence.
