    Marcus Freestone

    My main work is the T14 series of thrillers about a futuristic, high tech counter terrorism agency headed by a man with a computer implant in his brain. The first book "The Memory Man" is permanently free in e-book. I also have a series of novellas on the subject of mental health and psychology. My most popular book is "Positive Thinking And The Meaning Of Life" which has had 200,000 downloads. It deals with psychology, philosophy, depression, anxiety, mental health in general and the human condition.I have also released more than 50 albums, ranging from metal and rock to jazz and ambient/electronica. And last but not first I also produce the "Positive Thinking And The Meaning Of Life" podcast and "The Midnight Insomnia Podcast", a comedy show with ambient music and abstract visual images.

      INTRODUCTION

      I am not a therapist, I'm a writer and musician who happens to have an interest in psychology and philosophy. This book is merely an exercise in collating various ideas and revelations I've had during the past few years which have proved very helpful to me and may also be to you. All I have done is talk openly about things I've discovered, techniques I've used, mistakes I've made and successes I've enjoyed. It's a somewhat disjointed, abstract piece of work but then that's what my life has been like. If some of it sounds a bit like a journal, that's because it's been lifted directly from the journal or notes I kept on a particular course. In some cases I have kept the integrity of the spontaneous thoughts and avoided any rewriting in order to maintain the original insight.

      I would also like to point out that I wrote some of this two to three years ago and have since overcome many of the problems described within. However, it makes sense to leave these parts as they are in order to describe the problems that many people will be having. I apologise if sometimes the narrative thread seems to waver somewhat but it's the ideas that matter not keeping track of which I personally have or have not used lately.

      This is not an academic work and these are my own personal views on what I've encountered. Other people may view the same material/ideas in a different way. I have encountered many books where simple concepts are verbosely extrapolated in an off-putting manner. Therefore I have cut this book down to the bare minimum and am giving it away for free in the hope that people will find it useful. Any comments on this work are more than welcome.

      DECISION MAKING AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND SUBCONSCIOUS COGNITION

      I've know for years through studying mainstream psychology and Gurdjieff and Ouspensky that the subconscious brain does most of our processing but I hadn't realised the huge disparity between the processing power of the conscious and subconscious. Whilst the subconscious brain can process 11 million
