Pushing Up The Sky

About the Book

Based on brain physiology instead of conventional psychological constructs, Pushing up the Sky addresses how people think, learn and communicate. It lays the foundation for the Personal Operating System, the natural patterns the brain follows as it processes information.

It includes a basic self-assessment tool to discover your own Personal Operating System as well as detailed descriptions of the six naturally occurring patterns. Understanding these patterns is key to understanding why the thoughts of others are not always clear, why some people learn more easily than others, and why our conversations with others are often misunderstood.

This is a new approach to understanding your relationships with yourself, with ideas and with others.
