How to use Views to make a Block that displays a field from the author's profile?

Question

using Drupal 7.

I have added a field in the user account settings called "author summary" (field_author_summary)

When a user is editing their profile, they can enter a brief description of themselves into this field.

Now, the goal is to display this information as a block, directly under the content they are the author of.

I can't figure out the proper contextual filters and/or relationships.

Any ideas?

Thanks!\

I assumed that you have create a block view. (In case if you want to know how to create, check the revisions of this answer)

Add Author Relationship

Add Fitter Criteria : User: Current with author relationship

select Is the logged in User - yes. Click on Apply.

It pulls a field from a node (the author of the current node) and display it in a block
