The Blog
The Self-Driving You is an information hub blending the latest in neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and meditation to tell a scientifically sound story about what it is to be human and how anyone can make the most of it. It is an impersonal approach to being human, explaining that we are the driver behind the wheel of a self-driving vehicle that makes 90% of our decisions. These automatic responses are not personal but wired through experience and instantly triggered as we move through our environment. We are simply the driver behind the wheel, doing our best to hang on. The Self-Driving You reveals how we can wake up the driver through the power of deliberate attention to take the wheel and rewire our self-driving system for the better.

The Author
Until Alan was thirty, he was nothing special, with zero belief in himself, stunted by fear, and not particularly good at anything. Ten years later, he has spent over 5,000 hours listening to 500 books on the brain, meditation, and artificial intelligence. Alan spent another 2,500 hours writing ideas in the blog and 2,500 hours applying what he read to his life. Altogether, there has been a 10,000-hour investment in crafting an original message to explain life and how anyone can make the most of it. Alan applies what he writes to his life and is on a lifelong mission to use his driver to rewire his brain in a way that serves him. Alan’s goal is to provide information from 500 books all into one place in a digestible way for those embarking on a similar journey.
