About the Author:

Dr. Brent Nelson, Ph.D., has researched the connection between communication and behavior for many years. He has examined mass mediated behavior, groups and organizations, and why individuals do the things they do. Having been involved in community, government, and business, he is interested in how these systems work. As a result of his research, Dr. Nelson is the first to develop a Grand Unified Theory of Behavioral Communication. He has uncovered the laws that govern communication and behavior. The Nelsonian Law of Uncertainty, has motivated human behavior since the beginning of time. Given recent events, uncertainty affects us more today than ever before. He has written about how uncertainty affects us and what we can do about it to improve our quality of life. Dr. Nelson has developed new and creative methodologies to understand how people communicate. He developed the concept of desired outcome, which focuses on a person's well being to increase flexibility and effectiveness. He has also developed a new theory of economics based on how people reduce uncertainty, share meaning, and invest in themselves and others as a force that motivates economic behavior. Dr. Nelson holds a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and History, Summa Cum laude, Phi beta Kappa, a Masters, and Ph.D. He has been a professor of undergraduate and graduate classes in several fields.
