- Werner Erhard: The Transformation of a Man, The Founding of est is a biography of Werner Erhard by William Warren Bartley, III. The book was published in 1978 by Clarkson Potter. Prior to writing the book, Bartley was a friend of Erhard's and was involved in his company Erhard Seminars Training (est). While writing the book, Bartley was paid US$30,000 in the role of philosophical consultant for est. Erhard wrote a foreword to the book. The book's structure describes Erhard's education, transformation, reconnection with his family, and the theories of the est training. The book was well-received by graduates of the est training and became a bestseller. Overall it did not receive a positive reception in secondary sources, and it is seen as a hagiography. A review in The Christian Century comments "[Bartley Bartley] should have known better than to get sucked into writing this promo on Erhard". Library Journal's review points out the "slick tone and more than a trace of hero worship", and a review in the Chicago Tribune describes it as "an act of devotion".

- "Bartley casts a Freud's-eye-view on his subject's youthful failings, but after the famous 'transformation' his tone becomes almost reverential."
