At Cambridge University (UK), he studied mathematics and theoretical
physics. Then, as he became increasingly fascinated by the mysteries of
the human mind he changed to experimental psychology. Pursuing this
interest, he traveled to India to study meditation and eastern
philosophy, and on his return took up the first research post ever
offered in Britain on the psychology of meditation.
Peter also has a post-graduate degree in computer science, and conducted
there some of the early work on 3-dimensional displays, presaging by
some twenty years the advent of virtual reality.
In the mid-seventies Peter joined forces with Tony Buzan and
helped teach “Mind Maps” and learning methods to a variety of
international organizations and educational institutions.
Since then his corporate programs have focused increasingly on
self-development, creativity, stress management, and sustainable
environmental practices. Clients have included IBM, Apple, Digital,
American Express, Barclays Bank, Swedish Telecom, ICI, Shell Oil, and
British Petroleum.
