Alice Braithward had lived a long time. Sometimes, she felt like she was a dinosaur, or a living fossil of a time long gone. Other times, she felt just like a lonely grandmother missing her none existent grandchildren. Over her life, she had proven herself a successful businesswoman and had out survived many of her friends and most of her family. She did not put this down to chance or luck, but to willpower and hard work. But she also attributed her success to keeping her mind active and her keen interest in others' lives.

Now confined to a nursing home, Alice occupied her time fascinated by the behaviour of others and loved people watching. She could think of nothing better than when someone challenged or engaged with her and revelled in strategic power plays. And every interaction was a game for Alice. With no in between, either she was going to win, or she was going to lose. And Alice B did not like to lose...

Although she loved the cut and thrust of the business world, she also had a dark side to her. She was overconfident to the point of arrogance, and she showed little or no empathy for others. She was ruthless and had no tolerance for excuses or indifference.

Related to her people watching fascination, she believed that her lucid dreams enabled her to enter and experience other's lives. She saw herself as a watcher of others, of those not as fortunate as herself and of those who did not have her mind's capacity.

Alice believed that losing cognitive function was not an inevitable course of aging. Alice believed that cognitive decline was not a disease but a biological process that people could influence and manage. Her vivid dreams and ability to remember the dream the following morning were an escape from her physical restrictions brought on by old age.

Alice considered the functional decline in neurotransmitter metabolism to be the root cause of lower brain activity detected as part of the healthy aging process. This reduction in cognitive function correlated with a slowing of brain wave frequency, and that low alpha power correlates with neurocognitive decline.

Alice firmly believed that through brainwave frequency entrainment, she could tap into emotions of others, and this was the enabler to her vivid dream patterns.

What others are saying about Alice's Mind

"entertaining read. It gripped me." Sean H. UK ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"My mother in-law is in a care home and loved this story." lMcC Care ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The book is a series of seemingly unrelated stories that are drawn together with one common denominator: Alice, the 80 year old protagonist of the story. She is a pioneer of anti-aging research concerning the human mind, consciousness, and pushing the boundaries of conventional wisdom. She slowly gets drawn deeper into her own research and...I won't spoil the rest. Suffice it to say this story and it's concepts will likely stick with you long after you've finished the book. I thoroughly enjoyed it." Noel F. US ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
