SIR JOHN HARGRAVE is an author, entrepreneur, and mind hacker. He created one of the world’s first humor websites, which won him a worldwide following, and wrote two bestselling books. He snowballed that success into Media Shower, a marketing company that creates entertaining content for some of the world’s most respected companies, with the goal of “making the Web better.” He lives in Boston with his wife, two children, and a flock of chickens.

6. Susan Blackmore, Consciousness: An Introduction (London: Routledge, 2010). Blackmore literally wrote the book on consciousness, and her exercises are the inspiration for the Mind Games in this book. The purpose of Blackmore’s exercises is to show you the illusory nature of the mind, and I highly recommend her book for advanced mind hackers.
