About Abundance

Through his study of exponential technologies and incentive competitions, Peter became convinced that abundance for all was within our grasp. Because of his writing and work on cognitive neuroscience and human psychology, Steven came to understand why the majority of the population was blind to this important insight. As this future flies in the face of so much contemporary pessimism, they decided to write a book about it. Abundance is that book.Abundance is also much more: a very real possibility, a new paradigm created through focused resources and courageous hard work. Peter’s basic philosophy has always been that the best way to predict the future is to create yourself. The purpose of this book and this website is to do just that. This is a place where leaders, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, innovators and anyone else can track the technologies and accelerating progress that are now enabling a much better tomorrow. A place where we can all work together to make this vision of abundance a reality. If you’re sick of the doom and gloom, ready for the good news, and excited by this possibility, then welcome aboard.
