The methods in Theseus are based on the work of Dr. Andy Norman, a professor of philosophy at Carnegie-Mellon University. Dr. Norman has found that the most effective thinkers focus their attention in a particular, highly disciplined way. This method can be learned readily, and when people learn it, their critical thinking and reasoning skills improve rapidly.

The Theseus Learning System is designed to teach this technique, and strengthen the mental muscles that support it. Used all over the world, Theseus is the most complete and effective program available for developing core thinking skills.

The early versions have been made with students in mind, helping them achieve an ability that translates into higher SAT scores, success in college, and professional and financial security later in life.

However, we've been delighted to find that all sorts of thinkers have found it very useful - including analysts, journalists, writers, presenters, teachers, consultants and business leaders.
