Oliver Benjamin is the founder of The Church of the Latter-Day Dude, better known as Dudeism—a religion with over 700,000 ordained "Dudeist priests" worldwide. His books include The Tao of the Dude, The Dude De Ching, Lebowski 101 and The Abide Guide. His non-Dudeism books include The Tao of the Jedi, and an original translation and analysis of The Tao Te Ching. He is also a musician, graphic artist and a former journalist.

In addition to serving as Dudeism's Arch Dudeship, Dwayne Eutsey is a writer/editor who has more years of experience practicing his craft than he'd care to admit. Across the sands of time, his editorial career in publishing has helped Dwayne feed the monkey (more or less) and has allowed him to work on a book about Great Dude from History Mark Twain's unconventional religious views.
