At age 32, in 1927, Buckminster Fuller decided to live his life as an experiment to see what one individual could accomplish to change the world. Over the next 56 years, Fuller recorded everything he did, and loved "thinking out loud" in sessions that could last for 8 hours at a time. Lloyd Sieden transcribed many of these tapes, while producing educational programs at the Buckminster Fuller Institute. "The seeds of his experiment are still blooming all over the place, " says Lloyd, and enjoys talking most is deciphering Bucky's philosophy of life. In response to the oft-asked question, where I begin to read about Bucky, and wanting to make his work more understandable, Lloyd wrote "Buckminster Fuller's Universe: His Life and Work"

Buckminster Fuller: An Audio Biography
by Lloyd Steven Sieden with Host Laura Lee

Description
Buckminster Fuller, futurist, philosopher is best known as the inventor of the Geodesic Dome. He is one of the most creative contributors to innovative thought and initiative of the twentieth century incomparable designer, engineer, teacher, poet, artist, sailor, speaker, writer and cosmographer among other things - Fuller used his life to demonstrate what one individual could accomplish using techniques such as integrity, imagination, initiative and intention.

Once he realized that the survival and success of humankind was dependent on global cooperation and shifting our focus from weaponry to what he called "livingry," Fuller devoted his life to sharing that vision and showing us how viable it is. He uncovered Nature's underlying principles and lived by them while creating artifacts (i.e. inventions) which help us to better understand and utilize those principles.

Lloyd Steven Sieden discovered and began working with Fuller's wisdom in the late 1970's. Since that time he has successfully incorporated many of Fuller's discoveries into his own life experiment. In these tapes, Sieden shares the unique story of Fuller's life as well as how Fuller's insights can be of enormous benefit to each of us as individuals and as a species.
