Clock Stoppers is a handbook for super longevity and age reversal. It has 52 weekly projects, each containing 7 health hacks or “Clock Stoppers” that can be done one day at a time. "You’ll learn about the newest discoveries, innovations, products, and techniques available today, and by incorporating just one new Clock Stopper each day, you will begin to repair some of the damage that’s already occurred and grow younger and healthier with each passing day. No matter your age when you start this project, you will be younger (biologically, functionally, and physiologically) by the end of the book. They say you’re only young once. Well maybe not!"

"Beyond Caution: The Party of Life"
Even as we explore, venture, develop, experiment, stretch, grow, and dare, we would do well to embrace those who pull back in fear. Our responsibilities as reasonable proponents of profound technological progress, include envisioning positive futures, developing pathways to those futures, communicating those futures, and thereby soothing the fears of those ridden by metaphysical anxiety. Only then can we all join today in welcoming and shaping an ever-improving future. LINK

"Robust Cognitive Strategies for Resource-Rich Minds"
When one lives in a regime of scarcity in regard to some critical resource, it’s next to impossible to avoid one’s whole way of thinking and living becoming shaped around this scarcity. One has a hard time foreseeing how one would do things in a regime of abundance in that resource, and conceptualizing the differences between feasible and unrealistic amounts of abundance. LINK
