We reveal cheat codes for the brain

In life's game, you get a complex bundle of electric-meat as your controller. No user guide included.

We can stop mashing buttons now. New research shows that we can activate peak brain states, enhance cognition, level-up creativity, and dice challenges into confetti.

No offense, but your brain is a basket case

Your brain lies, has multiple personalities, and does things behind your back.

But it's also immured in your skull so you might as well learn to love it - and that begins with understanding.

Let's Still Exist

On the vast menu of multiverses, let's not choose the one where the food pyramid is a pile of shit sandwiches.

Instead, why not spill paradise on the world's least favorite rug? This is an option for humans.

Changing Existence
Doesn't Have to Be Hard

Brain science should whip its hair in the wind, get friendlier, and spill useful secrets.

Consider yourself invited to cross “change existence” off your todo-list between sips of a drink with a tiny umbrella in it.

Switch brain networks with smexy panache and bend your neural reality like a baby yoda for any or no purpose at all.

Your brain is a wet-bar stocked with luxe brain-states distilled for any whim or ambition.

But how can you learn to mix the perfect noggin’ cocktail for any occasion?

You could mine through mountains “change- your-brain” click-bait at self-help websites that want to sell you onyx vaginal eggs that “activate the root chakra”.

Bio

Josiah Hultgren is Founder of MindFullyAlive, a Senior Lecturer at California Lutheran University, a Certified NeuroCoach, a featured neuroscience writer at Medium, and the leader of the Consciousness Hacking group in Santa Barbara, CA. Josiah is also among the top three hosts of the legendary cult comedy/philosophy podcast The Henhouse. He has taught at Esalen, the epicenter of the Human Potential Movement. For over a decade, he has been mentored by Mark Robert Waldman, one of the world’s leading researchers in practical-neuroscience according to Time Magazine. Mark is also the best-selling author of How God Changes the Brain, How Enlightenment Changes the Brain, Words Can Change Your Brain, and Neurowisdom. In 2013, Josiah’s brain made a left-turn and smashed into a state of kensho – sprinkling infernos of curiosity about the existential relationship of consciousness, qualia, and brain-states upon the landscape of his mind. Josiah now creates and curates research-backed techniques to optimize the brain for the best possible multiverse.
