The Human Effectiveness Institute

The Mission of The Human Effectiveness Institute (THEI) is to make widely available new tools to focus the mind, enabling higher performance. And in the process to continue basic research and tool refinement. The Vision is that by becoming more effective individuals, the human race can solve all of the world's problems which the race has created. T... he Institute was formed in 1976 and was granted a federal tax exemption as a 501C3 scientific and educational foundation. Objectives of The Human Effectiveness Institute are, to quote from the Certificate of Incorporation: "4. PURPOSES. The purposes for which the corporation is organized are as follows: To conduct research into how humans internally process sensory, cognitive, emotive and intuitive information in order to make moment-to-moment action decisions - both normatively and optimally (i.e. how do most humans do this, and how can this be maximally improved). To create, test, refine and distribute educational materials (both print and broadcast media forms; classrooms; home study; etc.) which tend to documentably improve the information-processing basis for decision-making in the sphere of normal day-to-day human life." You" The Institute's first educational material was a book, MIND MAGIC, that was used as a course text at 34 universities including NYU and UCLA. The Institute's executive director was invited by the U.S. Army to present the material to the Commandant and Corps of cadets at West Point, and to Delta Force at the Army's graduate school Carlisle War College. New England Merchants National Bank was among the companies to use the material and to write an endorsement of its efficacy.Read More
