Meet Dr. Phyllis Books, MA,DC,DACBN
The Brain Changer for Game Changers
Dr. Phyllis Books is an author, educator, doctor, and elder guide for a new chapter of her own making. Eighty and more alive than ever, she calls herself “the brain changer for game changers,” and after four decades in clinical practice, she has the results and the stories to prove it.
She is the founder of Books Neural Therapy® (BNT®), a systematic, well-documented approach to unlocking the brain’s hidden potential, the treasure chest each of us carries, whether the struggle is dyslexia, ADHD, a head injury, or years of chronic health issues that never quite made sense.
For most of her career, that work happened one-on-one or teaching to other professionals here and abroad. Today, Dr. Books is still there for select clients, but her energy has shifted toward a bigger stage: teaching, writing, and mentoring the next generation of practitioners and change makers who will carry this work further than her own two hands ever could. Through BNT® training and mentorship, she is building something meant to outlast her, and she is just getting started.
Her two newest books carry that mission forward. Beautiful Brain Beautiful Life is her practical guide to unlocking your brain’s true potential at any age. In the Whispers is her prescriptive memoir, a look inside the quiet nudges and unmistakable calling that shaped her unconventional path. Both join her original work, Reversing Dyslexia: Improving Learning and Behavior Without Drugs (Square One Publishing, 2013), which remains a go-to resource for families navigating learning differences and her textbook, Books Neural Therapy: A Step-by-Step Instructional Manual for You to Train Brains to Learn Faster and Easier (Books Institute, 2021). Her online classes, first developed in 2013, are available worldwide.
Dr. Books holds an undergraduate degree in education and English from Michigan State University, a master’s degree in interpersonal communications from the University of North Texas, and a Doctor of Chiropractic from Parker University. She is also a Certified Clinical Nutritionist. She has taught and lectured across the United States, Europe, and Australia, and her alma mater honored her with its Outstanding International Alumni Award.
Off the clock, you will find her on the yoga mat, lifting weights, gardening, walking with her dog, Maggie, “experimenting” in the kitchen, reading in front of the fireplace or best of all, hanging out with her grandchildren.
