My goal is to get people excited about growing their brain's wealth of abilities!
"I've spent much of my life talking to thousands of business owners, executives, lawyers, clergy and other professionals about money. From these conversations I have learned that everyone is excited about making their money grow and money alone does not make people happy.
From this "clinical experience" and 12 years of research and writing about nature, science and theology, I have concluded that the brain is at the center of what makes us human and happy.
We all have a brain and a hundred billion neurons. How do we tap this huge asset to get what we want out of life and stay healthy and make a difference? That's what I help people do.
My background involves a wide array interests, ranging from finance to desert spirituality, well being, creativity and having fun."

"All aspects of my work build on a passion to translate the invisible into tangible and practical results...especially when it comes to the business of growing the brain's wealth with lifelong learning, earning and yearning."

The Good News about the Brain...
|
Good news: the brain is like a bottle of fine wine, designed to get better with age!
A healthy brain is like a healthy plant. Its wealth is determined by its generativity, the ability to grow and produce fruit. The "fruit" of the brain is the synaptic connections between neurons (nerve cells). Scientific evidence confirms that a healthy brain grows at any age--and an older brain is a better brain!
Learning, earning and yearning motivate the brain to grow.

| Your brain weighs 3 lbs. and contains more neurons than there are stars in the Milky Way Galaxy! |
|
| Q: What is a brain worth?
A: More than you might think!
"When I ask who would like to receive $1 billion, every hand in the room goes up. When I ask who is willing to give up their memory for $1 billion, no hand goes up. No one sees any point to having $1 billion if they can't continue to be who they are. Since the brain is where our memory and identity reside, it appears that the brain's wealth cannot be valued in financial terms. The Capital Asset Pricing Model doesn't work in valuing the brain!"

Why spend your money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
