Book details
Overview
Human Systems Science: Brain Thinking: Improving Information Processing and the Crisis of Self explores how human beings process information through the interaction of brain, body, senses, emotions, memory, environment, and lived experience. Drawing upon the principles of Human Systems Science, the book introduces the concepts of Brain Thinking, Brain Talk, and the Brain's Body as practical frameworks for understanding self-awareness, learning, behavior, and personal development.
The book examines how people sense, receive, organize, process, and respond to information in everyday life, with particular attention to the role of reflection in improving information processing and self-understanding. Through discussion, guided inquiry, reflective activities, learning designations, and practical applications, readers are encouraged to study the relationship between thought, feeling, behavior, and environment.
Central to the book is the concept of the Crisis of Self, which describes the challenges individuals face when self-awareness, communication, and information processing become disrupted by life experiences, environmental influences, emotional pressures, or learned patterns of response. The book presents Human Systems Science as a language and learning system for exploring these experiences and developing greater awareness, cooperation, participation, and informed decision-making.
Written for parents, educators, counselors, helping professionals, and lifelong learners, Human Systems Science: Brain Thinking provides a structured approach to understanding human learning, self-development, and the ongoing

Human Systems Science: Brain Thinking: Improving Information Processing and the Crisis of Self introduces a practical framework for understanding how human beings experience, receive, organize, process, and respond to information through the interaction of brain, body, senses, emotions, memory, environment, and lived experience.
Drawing upon the principles of Human Systems Science, Christopher K. Slaton, Ed.D. presents the concepts of Brain Thinking, Brain Talk, and the Brain's Body as tools for exploring self-awareness, learning, behavior, communication, and personal development. Rather than viewing behavior as an isolated event, the book examines how information moves through the human system and how that process influences decision-making, relationships, learning, and everyday life.
At the center of the book is the concept of the Crisis of Self, a condition that can emerge when a person loses awareness of how experiences, emotions, environmental influences, memory, and learned patterns affect thought and behavior. Through a structured language system and reflective inquiry, readers are guided to examine how they live, learn, think, respond, and develop a deeper sense of self-awareness.
The book explores topics including information processing, the sense-and-receive pathway, cooperation, participation, reflective storytelling, learning designations, and the relationship between brain, body, and sensory experience. Practical questions, activities, and learning exercises help readers connect theory to lived experience and develop greater awareness of how information is processed throughout daily life.
Written for parents, educators, counselors, helping professionals, researchers, and lifelong learners, Human Systems Science: Brain Thinking offers a distinctive perspective on human learning and development while providing readers with a practical system for improving self-understanding, communication, reflection, and informed decision-making.
This book is an invitation to learn how the brain talks back, how experience shapes awareness, and how understanding information processing can support personal growth, learning, and human development.
