From Knowing Better to Doing Better
David Gilks
I use neuroscience and ancient wisdom to help individuals discover the one thing that will change everything.
I have sat back at times and wondered "Why bother", people are going to do what people want to do, so why not just focus on your own journey? So why did I write a book and why should you care??
As I write this I am a 58-year-old entrepreneur, having been in the wellness industry for almost 30 years, but my life before that was very different. My father was a very angry man growing up, and a very big man. My eldest brother would display the severe bruises of belt marks across his back from an encounter with my father until he pushed back and broke his ribs one day with a 2 x 4. He had enough. I started running away at the age of 8 because of the cloud of anger and fear that hung over our family.?Family violence, sexual molestation, and religious shunning sent me to the streets, to a world that would not treat me much kinder.
Drugs were a great way to shut down the dark thoughts that entered my?mind, a simple tool to disconnect from the terrible reality that was my life. I spent many years weaving my way past the many dangerous predators who seemed to come out of the woodwork when you are a street kid.?
15 years of chaos and struggle...and for whatever reason I lived through it when many didn't. I finally started to piece my life together at the age of 28, detoxing to heal my body and studying to rebuild my mind. From a grade 10 education I went on to study herbalism, and orthopedic rehabilitation, and in recent years fell in love with cognitive neuroscience.?
I wrote this book to give you the map of how I rebuilt my inner world, and how I overcame the revulsion and the deep anger that comes from sexual exploitation. I wrote this book to show how I found a way to connect with God without having to bend a knee to a religious denomination. I wrote this book because I found the secret inside of me, the one inside of you, that simply needs a light shone on it.?
This book is not just about personal development strategies; it's a revelation of the untapped potential within you. Amidst the chaos of our world, I discovered a path that intertwines ancient spiritual wisdom with cutting-edge neuroscience. My story may be your story, and I want it to be a beacon of hope and possibility for those grappling with their own demons.
