What others say

"Your remarkably insightful work, The Mother of All Minds, has truly been instrumental in an extraordinary mind shift that I have been joyously experiencing over the past week. I have accomplished more in terms of goal setting and clearly defined objectives to help in the betterment of humankind than I have in the last two years. Notably, I am realizing the incredible optimism you wrote about." Marvin Collier, CIO, Optima Business Solutions, Washington, D.C.

"Your seminars are among the finest I have ever experienced—always a powerful learning experience. After attending three of them, I don't know how you keep surpassing your previous level of sophistication and accomplishment. Each time you take me to the cutting edge of your latest thinking about how the mind works." Dr. David W. Cox, Professor of Education, Arkansas State University

"What human systems need now are management tools and processes of learning to help them deal with the implosion and explosion of information. I've never seen another set of tools that does this as well as The BrainMap and its companion instruments." Dr. Perla Rizalina M. Tayko, President, Training, Learning & Consulting Services, Manila, The Philippines

"I consult with the high technology industry and specifically to CEOs and senior executives in the 'war for talent.' The BTC workshop enabled me to achieve a quantum leap in both my understanding of the 'mental models' of leaders and how organizations can develop leaders 'in waiting.' The accuracy of the results of this course spoke to its validity, and that, of course, builds confidence." Shawn Alexander, President, The Alexander Group, Amherst, NH

"I'm amazed at how vivid the memories are of the first BTC training event I attended years ago. I carried my legal pad of notes around with me for years after that. And, in having attended your new Beta Thinker's Seminar, here we go with another round. Times have changed as have we all (maybe a little). Certainly there has never been a greater planetary need for this kind of work. So we're off to do some of it." Robert Sandidge, CreativeCore, Algoquin, IL

"I started reading The Mother of All Minds and didn't put it down until finished." Kathleen Barclay, Ph.D., Strategic Visions, Chandler, Arizona.

"I devoured the pages of The Mother of All Minds! Your book is a valuable resource for anyone hungry for expanded personal effectiveness." Dr. Jim Rush, pastor, teacher and congregational development consultant, Edisto Island, South Carolina

"I've read The Mother of All Minds, and I must say it's the best description/explanation of Clare Graves' values levels that I've ever read. You also have a lot of 'other stuff' integrated in there that I haven't seen before. Cool! And since you made it 'a story of one,' I will also complement you on the story telling/writing style." Carsten Corneliussen, founder, Strategix.dk, Copenhagen, Denmark.

"Thanks for your amazing skills in maximising the learning for us all. I came away with so much going on in my head it's taken me a few days to calm down from zingy brain mode. I really want us to have a long and fruitful business association." Gerri Smyth, Inspirit Coaching, Guilford, Surrey, England.

"Your book, Evergreen, is the most powerful book I have ever read. I read and re-read the section on leadership almost weekly. It is so right on! Not many understand the principles of leadership as you do. Jim Collins and now Steven Covey are basically saying what you said years ago." Thomas E. MacKenzie, Assistant Superintendent, Peoria, Ariz., Public Schools.

"During the last day of the Beta Thinker's Seminar, you had an exercise called 'Situations that need solutions.' That was a very powerful way of getting my brain to work and connect purposefully. The result is that I have started my Ph.D. degree in Organization Development. And I haven't given up setting up my Thai classical music school, even as I continue to work for NIKE." Sirichai Preudhikulpradab, Bangkok, Thailand

"I applaud Brain Technologies for the new online version of the BrainMap! It gives greater flexibility to my clients and myself to prepare and understand individual and group profiles. Clients can print their data or peruse their own report electronically. The graphics are inviting, and it is all very user friendly for a great low price." Leilani Rashida Henry, Pine, Colorado

"There are books you scan to find one or two things (90% of all books). Then there are books like the The Mother of All Minds: books you read. There are books you read to get some information or understanding. Then there are books like the The Mother of All Minds: books that make you think. There are books you read and think about. Then there a book like The Mother of All Minds: a book that transforms you. Marjan Bolmeijer, Founder, www.Change-Leaders.com

"I started reading MOAM and didn't put it down until finished. The sections on Beta Blockers and Operating Insights for the levels of the mind changed my perceptions of how we move through our lives. What a superb explanation of the ways our minds play the 'game' of being human." Kathleen Barclay, Ph.D., Strategic Visions, Chandler, Arizona.

"I read the book from cover to cover in two sittings. I know you think some of Steven King's stories are a bit on the nutty side, but you have what he tries to achieve, i.e., page turnability. Your prose style is very entertaining and rich with interesting metaphors that serve to make complex ideas less daunting than they could be otherwise." Dr. Sean Brophy, Sean Brophy Associates, Dublin, Ireland.

"Dudley Lynch is the world's master teacher about Clare Grave's theory, and now he puts his wisdom in this reader-friendly, highly enjoyable book about human development through different views of life. Perhaps one of the most important books of the new millenium." Aart Pijl, CEO, Change Company, Koekange, The Netherlands.

The Mother of All Minds is an excellent exploration /application of the ideas of Clare Graves. This has been missing for decades. In terms of my personal development it could not come at a better time. The ideas and the thinking in MOAM are a genuine inspiration. Dr. Paul Morgan, Accelerated Coaching Ltd., Liversedge, West Yorkshire, England.

"Dudley Lynch’s book heartfeltly validates the imperative to bridge the gap between insulated comfort and complacency and the need to be and make a unique contribution to save this world. Consummately readable, digestible—a story that needs to be told; a story that is humorous, optimistic and critically important to our times. An easy to read combination of simple conversation and profound eloquence, Dudley plays with words and phrases like a musician plays with arpeggios. If you love language and thrill to its usage, you will enjoy the read as much as the content. The process of reading certain passages evokes a flow state not unlike driving a hot sports car on a scenic and mountainous highway. The twists and turns of Dudley’s prose posit a challenging assumption—transporting the reader on an adventurous journey of self-confrontation in the service of evolving our species. Andrea S. Gould, Ph.D., Lucid Learning Systems, Syosset, NY."

"My business partner bought The Mother of All Minds for me for Christmas. I had to let you know how very well written, thought-provoking and entertaining it is. You are a man for the 21st, maybe 22nd, Century." Howard Johnson, Franchisee, Sylvan Learning Center, Lawton, Oklahoma.

"We are at least thrice indebted to Dudley Lynch. (1) Because he first introduced us to Dr. Clare Graves’ theory (circa 1990) in such a compelling and exciting manner that it changed our lives and the nature of our consulting and training business worldwide. (2) Because he has consistently supported our venture and was always available when we had questions (and many of them related to Dr Graves’ theory and its implications in the business community-at-large). His answers always reflected his deep understanding of human nature, the nature of business organizations and how Dr Graves’ theory helps with great clarity to determine what needs to happen next). (3) And, now, in The Mother of All Minds, he has surpassed himself. Not only has he managed to make the Gravesian Theory all the more accessible, but in his inimitable style, he makes our journey through Alpha excitingly meaningful and the need to move to Beta is now more imperative and compelling than ever." Michèle Carrier and Charles Boulos, principals, Groupe Metafor International, Nun's Island, Quebec, Canada.

"The Mother of All Minds is easily the best written, most enjoyable and potentially most useful book I've ever read about Clare Graves' theory. With so much change surrounding us, and more, much more on the way, a better set of mental faculties is no longer an option but a necessity. Dudley Lynch has taken Glare Graves' groundbreaking research into a new realm, that of the Beta Mind. This new mind may just be what has been lacking in the increasingly desperate attempts of individuals and institutions to cope with exploding change. If you're heading for the future—and aren't we all?—don't leave home without it." Rinze Terluin, managing director of Loslaten bv, change management consultancy, Dwingeloo, The Netherlands.

"Mother of All Minds is a book that rekindles my hope for mankind and the survival of life on this planet. I was delighted to learn that others view the problems that we face globally are solvable and they are willing and able to take them on for all of us. If you are already using a Beta 2.0 mind, read this book, and use it to improve your effectiveness. If you'd like to take that step to upgrade yourself to Beta 2.0, read this book, it's your user manual for the transition." Brian Lundquist, Publisher, NanoTech-now.com.

"I really have enjoyed the chance to be literally and figuratively massaaged by Dudley Lynch's words while attending to the background bouquet and haunting flavors of ideas, research on the brain, and a lifetime of experiences he has distilled into a rare and new, yet sure to be vintage brew of the future we will encounter." Dr. Gary G. John, Professor, Department of Human and Academic Development, Richland College, Dallas, Texas.

"Leadership in the 21st century requires the higher level of resilience and self-reliance described so cogently and effectively in Dudley Lynch's new book. Even better, The Mother of All Minds provides its own high level strategy for developing these skills using your Beta mind." Bob Farnquist, leadership consultant, San Jose, California.
