Autorenporträt
Peter Russell, the widely acclaimed author of The Global Brain and other pioneering works, earned an honors degree in theoretical physics and psychology -as well as a masters degree in computer science -at the University of Cambridge. He subsequently went to India where he explored meditation and Eastern philosophy, and was one of the first people to introduce personal development programs to corporations in the 1970s.He has been fascinated by the nature of exponential growth since he first came across it in his study of mathematics. In this book he shows how central this growth is to the future of humanity and to the challenges we face, revealing a new story of our place in the cosmos. His other books include The TM Technique, The Upanishads, Waking Up in Time, From Science to God, and Letting Go of Nothing.
