Peter Russell coined the term "global brain" with his 1980's bestseller of the same name in which he predicted the Internet and the impact it would have on humanity. He is the author of twelve other books, and his mission is to distill the essence of the world’s wisdom traditions, and disseminate it in ways that are appropriate for the current times.
