Publications
During several last years, except science publications, wrote several articles about startups and entrepreneurship
and a book about understanding and motivation of people.
How does our thinking, intelligence and understanding work? How does it affect the structure of our world? And is it possible, knowing this, to predict the future? The simple answer is yes.
This book was written by a theoretical physicist who studies intelligence and consciousness, but there is not a single formula in the book. The author explains in simple words the structure of human intelligence, understanding and behavior, which leads to far-reaching conclusions, including about what is happening in Russia and the world today.
Entrepreneurs - ideal and real. Who is leading innovation companies today in Russia?
