Who Is Steve Gillman?

I questioned everything from an early age. At eight or nine years old I reconciled my religious upbringing with the theory of evolution by announcing to my mother that evolution seemed like the right explanation, but that God could have caused it to happen. By the time I was twenty I had discarded religion - and forgiven those nasty nuns from my early Catholic school years.

A philosophical capitalist at fourteen, and a reader of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche at seventeen, I had no use for school, and so took time to travel and to study, getting my high school diploma later. College was also too tedious, so I quickly dropped that. Starting the website www.IncreaseBrainpower.com (and the Brainpower Newsletter) led my wife Ana and I to build two-dozen other websites, and to enough success online to pay the bills.

Despite the success of IncreaseBrainPower.com, the brain is not my passion. It is the mind that is far more fascinating. If we take the brain to be a computer, the mind the operating system or programming. We can replace the programs in there, or add to them, or alter them, update them and so on. In working with the mind we can choose not only to think more deeply and creatively, but also to make this process habitual, so there is a more permanent change in how we look at the world. That's what The Thousand Mile Hole is all about.
