What 80 Years Have Taught Me
I find myself looking back over a lifetime of learning, healing, teaching, and writing — and wondering:
What has it all taught me? And what has it prepared me to do next?
There is one thing I know for sure:
Dr. Phyllis Books
“I’m still learning, growing, and discovering what’s possible. And I’d love you to come with me.”
Brilliant
beyond what you’ve been told.
Age doesn’t close the door. Neither does struggle. Neither does a lifetime of being misunderstood.
I’ve spent 40 years working with people who underestimated their own brilliance — and every single time, I watched them discover something extraordinary:
Their genius was never gone. It was just waiting.
Why live life in Black-and-white?
Become a genie and see how your brain can shine and grow with just a little polishing.
6 Truths — Here’s what I know at 80 that I didn’t know at 40
01
Life is not a spectator sport.
Your brain doesn’t want you sitting in the bleachers. It wants you on the playing field – engaged, curious, challenged, creating.
02
Your brain is designed to grow and learn until the day you die.
03
We each unfold at our own speed.
Some nervous systems integrate rapidly. Others need time. Slower does not mean less capable.
04
We are extraordinary beyond measure.
05
We stay small because we don’t know how magnificent we really are.
06
Don’t you dare settle for less. You have everything you need to become a hero in your own life
So, what would you like to explore?
GROW
WITH ME
What comes next may matter most.
At 80, I’m thinking less about everything I’ve accomplished—and more about what we pass on.
Your brain isn’t finished with you.
And neither am I!
