Peter Russell's message is simple and clear: The individuals and organizations that will thrive will be those that understand the nature of the human mind and fully appreciate the interconnectedness of our problems and our potential. Russell weaves a stirring, thought-provoking blend of scientific rationale, global vision, and intuitive wisdom.

Russell first studied mathematics and theoretical physics at Cambridge. (For a while he was supervised by Stephen Hawking.) However, he became increasingly fascinated by the nature of consciousness and switched his studies to experimental psychology, graduating with a first class honors degree. He then traveled to India to study meditation and Eastern philosophy with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.  Returning to England, he took up research into the psychophysiology of meditation and also earned a post-graduate degree from Cambridge in computer science.

With his prodigiously curious intellect, Russell has published ten books on subjects ranging from meditation to memory, from a translation of the Upanishads to problem-solving in the corporate world. In his most recent book, From Science to God, Russell explores the nature of consciousness and the inability of the Western scientific worldview to account for conscious experience. He proposes a new metaparadigm in which science and spirituality are no longer in conflict, and God takes on new meaning-not the almighty father-figure of traditional religion, but the divine inner essence of which the mystics have always spoken.
