For more than twenty-five years, Phil and Pam Lawson have been developing a single idea — a geometry of wholeness for understanding complex human systems — and have published two books along the way, under their own imprint. The work began as the two of them connecting the dots of their own lives; it took its name, The Sphere, through Phil's five-year collaboration with award-winning writer Robert L. Lindstrom; and it has continued and deepened in the decades since.
The story behind the framework. A memoir of two lives and decades of relentless reinvention — from a Denver church to mission work, Hollywood, collapse, and a mountain-cabin reset — that carries the same geometry of wholeness into the age of AI. Where the first book gave the world the tool, this one tells how it was forged — and why it matters now.
The framework, laid out. An illustrated philosophical work that introduces The Sphere as an alternative to the mechanistic, "box" worldview — and offers the Spherical Modeling Tool (SMT), a hands-on application for seeing complex systems whole. Across 65 short chapters, it argues that in an interconnected, interdependent world, we need a fundamental shift in how we see, think, and act.
Reviewed in Signature Magazine (2005) as "a modern philosophical treatise" of "great merit.
