The Inspiration

What happens when you cross a storyteller with an explorer and a change catalyst?

You get a message and a movement.

Many years ago someone told me,

“Brownell, you’re an explorer. And you’ll always be an explorer.”

You’re probably here for the same reason. To quote from a book and screenplay I wrote,

I know you’re “out there.”

After all, while everyone wishes, not everyone is interested in the SCIENCE of wishes. At least not yet. Like all pioneers, we are at the forefront for something I believe has the power to change the world. (For more on the Vision go here).

That doesn’t mean we’re all going to see things in exactly the same way. In fact, I hope not! I want to hear from both fans and skeptics. In fact, I even have a chapter in my book entitled Fun with Skeptics! (To read that chapter for free, click here).

Where It All Began

So how does someone who’s a storyteller with a GSU MBA and a corporate background who writes metaphysical books get interested in the science of wishing?

I was writing a novel about a magical world of wishes* when one night I couldn’t’ sleep, so I listened to a science lecture. I’m weird like that. Listening to science in the middle of the night. But instead of putting me to sleep, it woke me up — literally and figuratively.

And it made me wonder: IS there science in wishing?

Well, that led to a game of scientific whack-a-mole. The more I researched, the more sciences kept popping up. Anthropology? Whack! Mirror neurons? Whack! Evolutionary biology? Whack!

That led to this huge adventure — okay, obsession — where I researched over 70 different scientists. It changed my life. I just “wish” I’d known about it sooner!
