History and Books
Inferential Focus was founded in 1980 by business partners Charles Hess and Bennett W. Goodspeed, Sr. Goodspeed, who died in 1983 was best known for his investing treatise The Tao Jones Averages, which was a guide to "whole-brained" investing, as contrasted to the number-based analytical "left-brained" investing that remains mainstream. They were joined by Joseph W. Kelly Jr.
Other principals during the companies earlier years included Carol Coleman, a securities analyst, and Kenneth Hey, a Ph.D. in American Studies who was also a film producer, and Peter Moore, the firm's marketing specialist. Hey remains the head writer of the firm's primary intelligence publication, the Inferential Focus Briefing.
Hey and Moore authored The Caterpillar Doesn't Know: How Personal Change is Creating Organizational Change in 1998.

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or books:
“A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world, and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Most books belong to the house and street only, and in the fields their leaves feel very thin. They are bare and obvious, and have no halo nor haze about them. Nature lies far and fair behind them all. But this, as it proceeds from, so it addresses, what is deepest and most abiding in man. It belongs to the noontide of the day, the midsummer of the year, and after the snows have melted, and the waters evaporated in the spring, still its truth speaks freshly to our experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
