Howard Bloom is a thinker who delves into the forces shaping mass behavior, from the subatomic to the societal. His work synthesizes science, history, and culture to illuminate the underlying dynamics of human and cosmic evolution. Bloom's approach is characterized by a unique blend of rigorous scientific inquiry and profound intuition, aiming to unravel the complex patterns that govern collective action. He offers readers a compelling perspective on the mechanisms driving history and the development of mass consciousness across time.
Visionary thinker Bloom insists that global society has only begun to realize its full potential. The author offers insights as to why he sees crisis as opportunity. In more than 80 short, fast chapters, insights appear like quick bursts of light.
