I flew to California and met with Dr. Bredesen, who explained that Alzheimer's is not one disease manifestation that can be fixed with a drug. It is a combination of numerous factors that have gone wrong. #2 I was the first patient to test Dr. Bredesen's protocol, and I was able to reverse cognitive impairment. Other patients went on the protocol, and their group grew to ten. Nine of them were able to reverse cognitive impairment. #3 I had a reputation for producing excellent work. I found myself unable to read or understand any of it. I became depressed. It was obvious that I could not represent myself as an expert in anything. I stopped working. I could no longer read a book or understand any of the news articles I was reading. #4 I was a workaholic, and I was always in demand for the next assignment.

The hope that tomorrow will be better than today is ingrained in the collective imagination of the modern world. #3 The term dark age is used to describe the future that we are heading towards. It is a period of time where there are no written records, and the thread of collective memory and cultural continuity snaps. #4 The more a civilization declines, the more it resembles every other civilization in decline. The reversion to the mean is a common pattern in the twilight and aftermath of civilizations. Modern industrial society, especially here in North America, is showing all the symptoms of a civilization on its way toward history's compost bin.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The only way to help a client do things better is to find out how and why they are doing them now. This means asking questions and listening to the answers. You'll quickly discover that the client can do a lot of your work for you. #2 It is important to know what kind of next step you want to ask for at the conclusion of the meeting. The Next Step must be helpful, logical, and easy for the prospect to agree to. It must also be connected to a specific date and time. #3 During your initial meeting, ask questions such as How's business. and What would you have done in such-and-such an area if I hadn't called you. #4 At the outset of your relationship with a prospect, you don't know their unique challenges, opportunities, crises, and compromises. You don't know their history, typical clients, or the level of success or failure they've achieved in reaching and satisfying their clients.
