His books "The Frontal Lobes Supercharge" and "Have Fun are easy to use do-it-yourself manuals for turning on untapped areas of each and every persons' brain- "the other 90%". His revolutionary lessons let any person access pre-existing circuits for creativity, intelligence, and pleasure with methods and exercises proven under scientific investigation, as well as real world daily applications. "Have Fun" is a unique set of 35 "anti-rules" which reject common mis-perceptions and neutralizes common obstacles of doing and learning. "The Frontal Lobes Handbook" outlines the basic principles of how the human brain works, and guides readers how to not only sharpen their everyday working mind, but how to access higher modes of advanced Frontal Lobes circuits which turn on such "hidden" functions as pre-cognition, clairvoyance, clairaudience, telepathy, and telekinesis, as well as allow the ability to communicate with non-ordinary physical and non-physical intelligences and entities. "Brain Magic" is a month long series of brain creativity activities. "Cosmic Conversations" is an annotated collection of brain lab essays with T.D. Lingo.
