About
After thirty years of seeking,
I lost everything — and won the universe.
I lost a business, a clinic, my health, and most of what I thought I was — and, in a basement, through a cat, the moment I stopped looking, found peace and a happiness that stays.
Two doctorates. Two post-doctorates. Twenty-six years in clinical practice. One long investigation into consciousness, suffering, and a cat — everything translated between the contemplative traditions on one side of the desk and the neuroscience on the other.

Ten books. One path.
A ten-volume project across three years on contemplative neuroscience, non-duality, and what the wisdom traditions described that the laboratory can now begin to test.
Science and contemplation rarely speak the same language. These books make them stop pretending. The first book ships in 2026. The next nine will appear as they're announced — the newsletter is the first place each one is named.
