Peter studied mathematics and theoretical physics at the University of Cambridge (UK) supervised for a while by Stephen Hawking. As he became increasingly fascinated by the nature of consciousness, he changed to experimental psychology, gaining a first class degree in the subject. He also has a post-graduate degree in computer science and conducted some of the early research on 3-D displays and what is now known as “virtual reality.”
He was one of the first people to introduce human potential seminars into the corporate field and for the last twenty years has been lecturing and consulting to major corporations on creativity, quality management and personal development. His books include The Brain Book, The Global Brain Awakens, The Creative Manager, The Consciousness Revolution, Waking Up in Time and From Science to God. He also created the award-winning videos The Global Brain and The White Hole in Time.

The Mystery of Consciousness
Peter Russell
Ballroom
Western science has focused on the material world around us. It has paid little attention to the inner realm of the mind. Today, however, the exploration and development of human consciousness has become an imperative.
Most of the problems we face - global, social, and personal - stem from human thinking, perception, and values. Now, more than ever, we must find ways to liberate ourselves from the dysfunctional, egocentric modes of thinking that lie at the root of so many of problems, and uncover the immense potentials inherent in consciousness itself.
We are, Peter argues, on the threshold of revolution in worldview even more profound and far-reaching than that initiated by Copernicus 500 years ago. All the pieces for the new worldview are in place. Nothing new needs to be discovered. All that is required is for us to put the pieces together and explore the new picture of the cosmos that emerges.
