Michael Press has spent a great part of his life with other people both socially and in the work force. Always and often investigating the subject of a conversation - where do these ideas come from, and what are our core feelings and values when it comes to ourselves and other people. Enduring an abusive upbringing in Australia and some very difficult times during his schooling age, this behaviour started with the teachers - spending his free time talking with them and enquiring about their lives and motivations at home and at school. This approach to conversation and a strong desire to understand people and individuals as they are - has not always left him with many friends, though the pursuit has been massively revealing. Taking time to then bring these ideas and mould them in to core concepts has provided a true interest in life and the world around him.
