My New, Novel, and Innovative Book Income Revenue Sharing Pilot with Experts
Dear Book Authors,
For decades, I have seen experts, scholars, practitioners, and thought leaders in different disciplines struggle with the same painful reality: they have valuable knowledge, but no clear pathway to turn it into a book, or they were exploited by vanity publishing.
I want to offer a unique path to address this pain point gradually. I know the industry well, navigating its ups and downs for a long time.
The barriers for creators and book authors are common. Being an expert in an area or just having writing skills is not enough to become a successful book author.
Writing a book can be stressful and time-consuming. Line editing is expensive. Formatting is technical and costly, too. Traditional publishing raised the bar too high, and only 1% of the best consider themselves lucky to be selected. Even the selected ones are unhappy because the royalties are negligible.
Publishing platforms are confusing. Marketing, promotion, and distribution require stamina and expertise that most new authors do not have or have no time to allocate.
Even when a manuscript is finished, many books never see the light of day, or worse, they are self-published in haste and lost in a sea of unread titles.
I know writers who couldn't even sell a single copy on Amazon despite the platform having a massive reach. It is neither a problem of the platform nor the fault of beginners. Writing, marketing, and selling are very different skills, and all are required for indie authors.
The market is highly competitive, and only those with exceptional skills and a substantial network succeed.
Here's Why I Feel Confident About This New Initiative
I know these struggles because I lived them myself and observed them in others. Over the years, I have written, edited, and published 50+ books across different categories, some of which became bestsellers.
I mastered the workflows of distribution companies like Amazon KDP, Draft2Digital, IngramSpark, and others, and learned what works and what fails in global distribution.
In parallel, I built a robust content ecosystem that connects readers, sponsors, and creators across Substack, Medium, Patreon, Kit, LinkedIn, Goodreads, and multiple social media channels. I even created my own discount bookstore recently and introduced it in a story here. Getting my first Woopayment felt like earning a million dollars.
Now, my ecosystem attracts thousands of visitors monthly and is trusted by both human readers and AI platforms such as Perplexity, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Copilot, which cite my work in their answers, as I exemplified in a recent story.
This blend of publishing expertise, digital marketing strategy, and distribution capacity allows me to offer something few can: a turnkey solution for experts who want to publish without barriers.
I also feel confident in community building for book authors. I established many book clubs in the last four decades.
For example, a few months ago, I established a book club on Substack as an extension to my Illumination Book Chapters publication on Medium, and already over 46,000 people have joined it. I will share the details for book clubs in my upcoming book, The Zen of Book Authoring.
How this Pilot Program Will Work
The principle is simple: You write the book. I handle everything else. We share royalties 50/50. No gimmicks, no hidden cost, no forcing to buy your own books. You don't even have to market it, as I will shoulder that duty through my other initiative, the Substack Mastery Boost program tools.
Here is what I provide:
Editing & Quality Assurance: Professional editing and curation to meet global publishing standards. I will guide you during the writing process as a consultant, and when the manuscript is complete, I will serve as a line editor, which is a very costly process for indie authors.
Formatting: Preparing your manuscript for print, digital, and audio releases using my established templates. Formatting is also a costly process for indie authors.
Publishing & Distribution: Using Draft2Digital's Split Pay system, I will publish your book globally, and royalties will be automatically divided in a fair amount, 50/50. Distribution will cover many book stores, including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Everand, digital libraries, and more.
Marketing and Promotion: I will leverage my network, established content ecosystem, Substack Mastery boost program, multiple Substack newsletters, segmented email lists, curated feeds, blog posts, and global networks on Substack, Medium, Patreon, LinkedIn, WordPress, and social platforms like Reddit, Quora, X, Tumblr, and Facebook to promote your book to a ready audience. I also have hundreds of landing pages.
Here is what you provide:
Your Manuscript: The Intellectual Foundation of the Book. You focus on your expertise in your captivating style, and I ensure it reaches the world as a professionally edited and formatted masterpiece. The content needs to be high-quality, important, and relevant to a broad audience unless it is a specialized book. You may wonder what I mean by quality, as it is a subjective matter.
Here Are the Prerequisites for Participation
This program is built on quality and credibility. To protect the integrity of the books published under this initiative, the following conditions apply:
Important Topics Only: Manuscripts must cover meaningful, high-value subjects for readers. I do not attach my name as editor or publisher to works that lack expertise, depth, breadth, rigor, and relevance.
High-Quality Writing: Submissions must be original, well thought-out, free of fluff, and evidence-based. AI-generated manuscripts are not accepted, so I will not waste my editing time on them. However, if you are not a native speaker, I am happy to improve your language without changing your content and voice. I have been doing it for many years.
Fiction or Poetry Submissions: My expertise is primarily in non-fiction. Fiction manuscripts may be considered, but they will require external editing through my trusted business partners. This one will be negotiable. Poetry is fine, but I don't edit poetry, so I might reduce my commission to 20% for them. However, finding poetry readers can be very challenging, so I don't want to give you false hopes.
Exceptional Cases: For certain fields, such as technology and healthcare, I may also contribute as a ghostwriter. This is a separate offering and will be introduced in another post. The rates are different for the writing and editing combo.
These prerequisites are not meant to exclude but to ensure that every published book upholds the highest standards, delivers genuine value to readers, and strengthens the credibility of all participants for growth.
My goal is to raise your profile by publishing a book, as it is a powerful growth tool and distinguishing factor in the competition for creators.
Legal and Privacy Considerations
To maintain transparency and comply with global publishing standards, all participating authors must be aware of a few legal and privacy requirements:
Real Identity Required for Payments: While you are free to publish under a pen name for public visibility, platforms such as Draft2Digital require your real legal name, bank account details, and tax information to process royalty payments. This information remains private and is not shared publicly.
Contractual Agreement: Before beginning, each participant will enter into a clear, simple agreement that defines roles, responsibilities, the 50/50 royalty split, and termination rights. This ensures complete legal clarity for both parties.
Rights Ownership: Authors will always retain ownership of their intellectual property. The program does not take away your rights to your manuscript. Instead, we enter into a royalty-sharing publishing partnership with clear deliverables.
Privacy Protection: Personal and financial data provided for distribution (such as legal names or account details) are processed securely through the distribution platforms (e.g., Draft2Digital, Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble) and are never disclosed in public channels. Your pen name remains your public identity if you choose one.
Pen Names and Branding: You may write and publish under a pen name, which is a common and accepted practice. The only requirement is that your legal identity is verified in the publishing backend for compliance with payment and tax regulations.
Invitation to The Pilot for only 100 Writers in 2026
I will begin with 100 selected writers as a pilot program. I like stretching myself, but I know I can't handle more than 100 in a year by myself with my other commitments and obligations. Exceeding this might cause burnout, which is undesirable.
This pilot will allow me to refine the process, maintain quality, and demonstrate scalability. If the pilot becomes successful, I will engage accomplished partners to help perhaps 1000 or more writers in 2027 and beyond.
In summary, as a qualified book author, you will:
No upfront payment for editing, formatting, or promotion
Retain 50% of royalties automatically via Draft2Digital's split-pay feature, going to your bank account.
Benefit from professional editing, formatting, publishing, and promotion at no upfront cost.
Be featured in my global content ecosystem and introduced to my network of sponsors, curators, and collaborators.
If the pilot proves successful, I will expand the program globally in 2027, enabling thousands of experts to publish books with sustainable income streams.
How About IF You Don't Want a 50/50 Split
If you have skills and want to publish them yourself without any split, and need editing and marketing support, I can still do that at a competitive rate.
As each book is unique, I need to understand the scope, timelines, and other requirements to give you a reasonable quote.
You can contact me via this form. Soon I will create a portal for this initiative with more information and valuable educatioanl materials for book authors.
Conclusions and Key Takeaways
The creator economy is shifting. Paid subscriptions and ads are no longer enough to sustain writers. What endures is intellectual property in book form, which can be repurposed into courses, consultancy, sponsorship, and long-term revenue.
With the support of 190 volunteer editors and curators, my publishing and marketing expertise, and my reliable, high-visibility ecosystem (DR 74, 215K backlinks, growing AI citations, global networks), I am ready to help experts turn manuscripts into living, income-generating assets.
If you are an expert with a book idea or manuscript waiting to be published, I invite you to join the pilot. Together, we will prove that publishing can be ethical, accessible, and profitable for everyone involved.
Your knowledge deserves to be read. Your expertise deserves to be discovered. And your book deserves a partner who can combine publishing experience, marketing strategy, and global distribution to make it succeed.
Let us make this happen, 100 authors at first, then many more, building a new model for sustainable publishing. I invite you with respect, care, and commitment!
Book authors in this pilot will automatically be part of my Expert Contributor Network, which I introduced recently in a story titled Welcome to the Expert Contributor Network Curation Program at Digitalmehmet Content Ecosystem.
Here is a list of books I added to the Digitalmehmet Discount Bookstore to give you an idea. They include PDF, EPUB, MOBI, or MP3 formats for downloading.

New Digital and Audio Books Added to My Discount Bookstore for Avid Readers
Writers and book authors spend years crafting meaningful work. Yet most remain underpaid and undervalued, trapped on platforms that prioritize their own growth over the creators’ well-being.
After retiring from my 40+ year career in the corporate world, I reflected deeply on this imbalance. For decades, I designed e-commerce systems for global enterprises, helping them sell products and services directly to millions.
My work in enterprise and business architecture serving billion-dollar corporate enterprise solutions as a seasoned technologist was recognized with industry certifications, including the Distinguished Architect title from The Open Group and badges from IBM, including retail specialization presented by Credly.
But when I started publishing my own books, I noticed something troubling: most writers still rely on platforms that limit their reach, control their audience data, and take a significant share of their revenue.
So I decided to build my own online bookstore as a proof of concept with no ad spend, no paid promotions but just organic reach, quality books for avid readers with professional design.
Within 24 hours, my store received nearly 10,000 views. This article explains how I did it and, more importantly, why every serious writer and creator deserves a digital space of their own.
One of my services is to help them create their own line shops in a cost-effective manner using state-of-the-art technologies and technological tools.
Most writers still depend on borrowed platforms such as marketplaces, social media, and publisher websites to share and sell their work.
While these platforms offer visibility, they come with limitations: shifting algorithms, restricted monetization, and little to no control over audience relationships.
In my experience, both in enterprise architecture and as an author, the biggest shift in power occurs when creators own the infrastructure where their work is discovered, purchased, and appreciated.
Having your own digital store means:
You set the terms. No hidden fees, no sudden policy changes, no dependence on third-party gatekeepers.
You own the customer relationship. You can reach your readers directly, offer them updates, bonuses, and thank-yous, and build genuine loyalty.
You can diversify your offerings. Sell books, courses, services, affiliate products, or exclusive bundles from one place without needing multiple tools.
You build long-term equity. Each visitor, each sale, and each returning customer contributes to something you fully control and can grow over time.
The biggest myth is that digital stores are too technical or expensive to set up. That may have been true twenty years ago.
But today, with tools like WooCommerce on WordPress hosting platform, you can build a professional store with minimal cost and effort, especially when you apply modern design thinking and a bit of strategic insight.
This is not just about selling books. It's about building a professional, independent presence that reflects the value of your work.
Writers deserve more than exposure. They deserve ownership.

Introduction to From Zero to Substack Hero Course on Udemy
Celebrating the 109th Graduate on Udemy with Substack Mastery
Congratulations, Aiden, for his outstanding community work and being a role model writer, editor, curator, and instructor
What I like most about Aiden is that he not only teaches what he learned from the book, but he also gained over 204,000+ subscribers on Substack with his writing, curation, teaching, and community work. He walks his talk.
Aiden completed three new levels, Level 4, 5, and 6, as an advanced bundle over a month ago and submitted it to me for review and approval, but I was so busy with my own challenges that I couldn't get a chance to finish his request. I feel very guilty about it, so I will allocate some time in the next few days to get the advanced bundles published on Udemy.
As usual, Aiden created 40% discount vouchers for the Medium community for September and made them available for me to share here for interested students.
From Zero to Substack Hero - Level 1
From Zero to Substack Hero - Level 2
From Zero to Substack Hero - Level 3 NEW
And now, From Zero to Substack Level 4, 5, 6 are published as a bundle with an 85% discount for beta readers through this coupon: https://www.udemy.com/course/from-zer...
Today, I am honored and delighted to share a story that represents the true spirit of collaboration, lifelong learning, and positive change in the digital age as a case study for struggling creators.
This is a moment of recognition and congratulations for Aiden MC, who has just seen the 109th student complete our Udemy course based on my book, Substack Mastery. Behind this milestone lies a journey marked by dedication, vision, care, and a deep commitment to empowering creators, freelancers, and startups.
Aiden's achievement stands out for many reasons, but especially for his willingness to go above and beyond. Rather than simply reading the book and moving on, he envisioned a way to make its lessons accessible to a broader community of learners. I characterize this as empowering and servant leadership. We need more such leaders.
With both creativity and rigor, he transformed my bestselling book into a structured, three-level Udemy course. Every lesson, resource, and example was carefully selected to offer practical guidance and real-world relevance for those starting on Substack.
The path from book to course was not a simple conversion. It required thoughtful curation, meaningful interaction, and countless hours of preparation, recording, video editing, and rigorous development of the Udemy curriculum.
Aiden worked closely with me at each step, ensuring that the values, clarity, and supportive tone of the original book would be preserved in the course. I gave my full approval, knowing that the course would bear my name as well as the spirit of open knowledge sharing that we both believe in.
The success of this course is more than a personal achievement. It is a demonstration of what can happen when community members invest in each other's growth.
By opening the doors to new students, Aiden created opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom. For those just beginning their journey on Substack, this course offers more than technical know-how. It opens new windows to creativity, financial independence, and authentic connection in a world where traditional gatekeepers once held all the keys.
The digital economy has changed the landscape for writers and creators. Today, anyone with curiosity and commitment can find their audience, build their brand, and create multiple streams of income.
However, 99% of beginners fail due to a lack of support. Therefore, I created this supportive community especially to help new writers find their voices and start earning without burning out.
The Substack Mastery course, From Zero to Substack Hero, inspired by these principles, invites beginners to step confidently into this environment. Through step-by-step guidance, practical assignments, and a welcoming peer community, each participant is encouraged to grow, share, and succeed on their own terms.
Aiden's initiative has had a ripple effect. For many students, this course marks their first step toward professional writing or building an online audience. It shows that education can and should be accessible, relevant, and free from unnecessary barriers.
By completing the course, these 109 graduates have taken action to shape their futures, build new networks, and create value not just for themselves, but for their readers and communities. I invite them to Substack Eminence as a Neurostrategic Blueprint: For Ultra-Advanced Writers Who Want to Scale with Clarity, Authority, and Integrity. Here is some info about Substack Eminence. What I learned through my experimentation helped me get my bestseller badge in 8 months in March 2025.
Now Back to Aiden's Achievements as Another Best-Selling Substack Author
As I congratulate Aiden for reaching this milestone, I also want to acknowledge the quiet but significant impact of those who support, encourage, and uplift others behind the scenes.
For example, Dr Mike Broadly, DHSc, who completed Aiden's Udemy courses and got his best-seller badge, Dr Broadly graciously shares his knowledge and expertise on multiple platforms while curating nostalgic stories daily from ILLUMINATION publication to uplift writers and delight readers.
This is what a genuine learning community looks like. When someone like Aiden rises to meet a need, and when students respond with curiosity and courage, the possibilities are limitless.
For anyone considering a new chapter on Substack or seeking practical ways to thrive in the digital economy, I warmly recommend this course.
The affordable course, equivalent to the cost of two cups of coffee, reflects the best of what we can accomplish together, a blend of scholarship, mentorship, and real-world application. Here, learning is not a solitary pursuit; it is a shared experience that opens doors for everyone.
Congratulations once again to Aiden, to the 109 graduates, and to all who believe in lifelong learning and creative independence. I am proud to be a part of this journey, and I look forward to welcoming many more voices and stories as we continue to grow together.
Aiden, as a generous soul, shares free copies of the course transcripts on Medium, my author platform as a guest blogger, and via his media publication on Substack.
What I like most about Aiden is that he not only teaches what he learned from the book, but he also gained over 204,000+ subscribers on Substack with his writing, curation, teaching, and community work. He walks his talk.
Aiden completed three new levels, Level 4, 5, and 6, as an advanced bundle over a month ago and submitted it to me for review and approval, but I was so busy with my own challenges that I couldn't get a chance to finish his request. I feel very guilty about it, so I will allocate some time in the next few days to get the advanced bundles published on Udemy.
As usual, Aiden created 40% discount vouchers for the Medium community for September and made them available for me to share here for interested students.

Here is an introduction to the next level for advanced writers from my second book, published last year, which helped many writers get their bestseller badges on Substack. Aiden shared this video on our community YouTube channel and will share many free educational videos and podcasts soon, so you may subscribe to it for free.
Aiden said he wants to turn all my health and well-being books into Udemy courses and offer them at a low price on Substack. I told him this is a brilliant idea, and I will support his grand vision as my research-based and experimental content can change lives.
Substack is an excellent avenue for creators. It can even be better when integrated with other platforms like Medium, Patreon, Kit, Vocal Media, Hub Pages, and more.
You are welcome to amplify your stories, newsletters, and website resources for free on my author platform as a guest blogger. I can also create complementary author landing pages for you to promote your Substack Newsletters, Medium Stories, Patreon tiers, Fiverr gigs, books, and more. For example, I created an official page of From Zero to Substack Hero for Aiden, which brings new students to his courses.
I know the struggles and pain of creators. Today I read a poignant story from a new German writer Jessica O'Czerny. As it deeply touched my heart, I translated it into English for you so you may check out and learn that only one in ten thousand creators see success. My goal is to change this ratio via my Substack Mastery Boost program, which will be a global service in 2026.

Congratulations, Aiden, for his outstanding community work and being a role model writer, editor, curator, and instructor
What I like most about Aiden is that he not only teaches what he learned from the book, but he also gained over 204,000+ subscribers on Substack with his writing, curation, teaching, and community work. He walks his talk.
Aiden completed three new levels, Level 4, 5, and 6, as an advanced bundle over a month ago and submitted it to me for review and approval, but I was so busy with my own challenges that I couldn't get a chance to finish his request.

And now, From Zero to Substack Level 4, 5, 6 are published as a bundle with an 85% discount for beta readers through this coupon: https://www.udemy.com/course/from-zer...
Today, I am honored and delighted to share a story that represents the true spirit of collaboration, lifelong learning, and positive change in the digital age as a case study for struggling creators.
This is a moment of recognition and congratulations for Aiden MC, who has just seen the 109th student complete our Udemy course based on my book, Substack Mastery. Behind this milestone lies a journey marked by dedication, vision, care, and a deep commitment to empowering creators, freelancers, and startups.
Aiden's achievement stands out for many reasons, but especially for his willingness to go above and beyond. Rather than simply reading the book and moving on, he envisioned a way to make its lessons accessible to a broader community of learners. I characterize this as empowering and servant leadership. We need more such leaders.
With both creativity and rigor, he transformed my bestselling book into a structured, three-level Udemy course. Every lesson, resource, and example was carefully selected to offer practical guidance and real-world relevance for those starting on Substack.
The path from book to course was not a simple conversion. It required thoughtful curation, meaningful interaction, and countless hours of preparation, recording, video editing, and rigorous development of the Udemy curriculum.
Aiden worked closely with me at each step, ensuring that the values, clarity, and supportive tone of the original book would be preserved in the course. I gave my full approval, knowing that the course would bear my name as well as the spirit of open knowledge sharing that we both believe in.
The success of this course is more than a personal achievement. It is a demonstration of what can happen when community members invest in each other's growth.
By opening the doors to new students, Aiden created opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom. For those just beginning their journey on Substack, this course offers more than technical know-how. It opens new windows to creativity, financial independence, and authentic connection in a world where traditional gatekeepers once held all the keys.
The digital economy has changed the landscape for writers and creators. Today, anyone with curiosity and commitment can find their audience, build their brand, and create multiple streams of income.
However, 99% of beginners fail due to a lack of support. Therefore, I created this supportive community especially to help new writers find their voices and start earning without burning out.
The Substack Mastery course, From Zero to Substack Hero, inspired by these principles, invites beginners to step confidently into this environment. Through step-by-step guidance, practical assignments, and a welcoming peer community, each participant is encouraged to grow, share, and succeed on their own terms.
Aiden's initiative has had a ripple effect. For many students, this course marks their first step toward professional writing or building an online audience. It shows that education can and should be accessible, relevant, and free from unnecessary barriers.
By completing the course, these 109 graduates have taken action to shape their futures, build new networks, and create value not just for themselves, but for their readers and communities.

Introduction to the The Dawn of Bioprinting and Engineered Healing
Dear Subscribers,
I shared a new chapter from the book Technology Horizons 2050 and beyond, featured at https://books2read.com/2050, ISBN: 9798231583355.
The official page for this book is here
A Glimpse Into Bioprinting and Living Tissue Engineering
The idea of constructing the human body one layer at a time was once the stuff of science fiction. Today, it stands at the threshold of medical practice.
Bioprinting is no longer confined to the dream of replacing what is broken. It has become the design of living systems that work in harmony with the body, each part shaped not only to fit anatomically but to function biologically. In this sense, bioprinting is not just repair but reimagining what it means to heal.
From an early age, I found myself fascinated by how nature repairs itself. A wound that closes over time or a bone that slowly regrows shows us the profound intelligence embedded in living matter.
Bioprinting mimics and seeks to accelerate those lessons, borrowing from both engineering and biology to replicate the patterns nature perfected over millions of years.
The imagination of scientists, artists, and engineers now converges in laboratories where life itself is being printed with remarkable precision.
Breakthroughs and Milestones
The pace of discovery in bioprinting has been extraordinary, even if most applications remain in advanced experimental stages.
In the United States, surgeons achieved a world-first by transplanting a 3D bioprinted living ear, created from the patient’s own cartilage cells. This was more than a technical triumph; it was proof that tissues grown in the lab could integrate with the human body, restoring both form and function.
Elsewhere, within the Feinberg Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University, researchers have achieved a significant milestone using the FRESH (Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels) 3D bioprinting technique.
They successfully engineered pancreatic‑like tissue constructs composed entirely of biologic materials, specifically collagen, featuring perfusable, blood vessel–like channels down to capillary size (about 100 microns in diameter) that respond to glucose by releasing insulin, outpacing current organoid models
These constructs not only survive but also respond with insulin release in ways that move us closer to functional organ replacements for conditions such as Type 1 diabetes.
In Australia, scientists at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute created hundreds of “mini-kidneys” for drug screening and disease modeling. These tiny organoids are not yet ready to be transplanted, but their complexity demonstrates that larger-scale organs are within reach.
Some of the most surprising progress has come from work inside the body. In China, researchers used micro-bioprinting tools delivered through an endoscope to repair stomach wounds in animal models.
Tissue printed in vivo not only survived but also integrated with surrounding cells, hinting at a future where surgical repair might mean printing directly where damage has occurred.
Each of these examples represents more than a technical feat; they mark stepping stones toward a future where organs are not scarce commodities but renewable resources.

Introduction to Technology Horizons 2050 and Beyond: Emerging Technologies Shaping the Next 50 Years of Human and Machine Evolution
I am pleased to announce the preorder of
Technology Horizons 2050 and Beyond
https://a.co/d/9xMxVcK
What will the world look like in 2050 when emerging technologies in biology, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and space exploration converge into one interconnected fabric of human and machine evolution?
image:
This book is part of my Technology Excellence and Leadership Series on Amazon
In Technology Horizons 2050 and Beyond, I draw on five decades of work in technology, cognitive science, and global innovation to predict the coming five decades.
Yet this vision began far earlier, rooted in a childhood where I cultivated extraordinary imagination through cognitive enhancement methods, learned to think beyond the box, and developed the ability to view reality from both the microscopic and telescopic scales.
This dual perspective allows me to link scientific precision with metaphysical insight, creating forecasts that connect present-day breakthroughs with their long-term implications.
Going beyond technical analysis, the book is a synthesis of rigorous research, scenario planning, and intuitive pattern recognition, an approach that anticipates shifts others may overlook. I map the future of technology not only through the lens of engineering and economics, but also through the cultural, ethical, and philosophical questions it raises.
You will explore thirty interconnected domains shaping the future: regenerative medicine and biotechnology, bioprinting and nanotechnology, advanced genetic engineering, the Internet of Bodies and planetary connectivity, intelligent automation and the future of work, artificial general intelligence, neuromorphic computing, quantum computing and AI integration, smart cities of the future, tokenized economies, immersive realities, space colonization and planetary defense.
Each chapter follows a three-stage foresight model—2030 Outlook, 2040 Transition, and 2050 Vision—providing a roadmap from today’s innovations to the transformative systems that will redefine life, work, and human potential over the next half-century.
This book goes beyond speculative science fiction. It is grounded in current research, industry developments, and practical foresight, making it a credible and indispensable resource for thought leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, technologists, policymakers, and philosophers who seek to understand the future of human-machine evolution.
Whether you are building the next breakthrough company, shaping policy for emerging technologies, investing in frontier science, or exploring the deeper meaning of human evolution in an age of machines, this book offers both a strategic guide and a creative provocation.
The future will not wait for us to be ready. It will unfold in the minds of those who dare to see it before it arrives, who can stand at the intersection of science and imagination, and who have the courage to turn the improbable into the inevitable. This book is an invitation to be among them.

Introduction to Business Architecture for Digital Transformation Version 2 by Dr Mehmet Yildiz
Why Business Architecture Matters More Than Ever, And How Agility Makes It Work
image:
New version of business architecture book - ISBN: 9798231435647 which can be access
via Books2Read landing page.
First, I want to highlight that business architecture is not just for big organizations. Anyone who has a business needs it on a smaller scale and can leverage its power.
In times of economic pressure and rapid disruption globally, business leaders do not ask whether they need better planning or systems.
They ask how they can adapt, where to focus, and what to stop to survive and grow. Business architecture offers clear answers to these questions if it is done right by qualified architects.
At its core, business architecture provides a structured way to understand what an organization is trying to achieve, how it functions, and how its many moving parts connect.
A business architecture for an organization identifies purpose, clarifies functions, defines key roles, and reveals the essential flows between people, processes, data, and systems.
That may sound abstract at first, but the results are tangible: better decisions, clearer priorities, fewer surprises, and less waste.
Most importantly, business architecture brings strategy and execution into one space. Instead of having a vision on paper and a disconnected reality in practice, it creates a blueprint that links intentions to outcomes, goals to operations, and leadership to action.
This blueprint is not a static document. It is a living structure that evolves with the organization. Therefore, we need to update our business architecture regularly, reflecting changes in our strategy, tactics, services, and processes.
Business Architecture as a Thinking Tool
One of the most powerful features of business architecture is its ability to simplify complexity. In fast-growing or large organizations, complexity creates confusion.
Without a clear view of how capabilities, systems, and resources align, decisions become reactive or fragmented. Business architecture does not eliminate complexity, but it organizes it in a way that helps leaders think clearly. It shows what is essential, what is outdated, and where investments are genuinely needed.
This clarity becomes especially valuable during change. Whether a company is merging systems, launching a new product, or recovering from a downturn, business architecture provides a stable lens through which change can be understood, guided, and completed on time within budget.
The Rise of Agile and the Fall of Waterfall
For decades, many organizations followed a waterfall approach to change. They gathered detailed requirements, mapped every dependency, planned timelines in advance, and expected everyone to stick to the plan.
While this method works in stable environments, the current economic and financial climate is anything but stable. Markets shift overnight. Customer expectations evolve rapidly. Technology outpaces documentation. In this environment, rigidity creates risk.
Agile architecture offers a different and more helpful path to business owners. Rather than trying to predict everything up front, it supports adaptation.
By breaking down structures into modular, capability-based domains, agile architecture allows parts of the system to evolve independently. This makes change less costly, faster to implement, and easier to manage.
In other words, agility is not only a design choice but also a survival strategy. Business architecture that supports agility helps organizations stay responsive without losing control. It creates guardrails, not cages.
From Structure to Strategy: The Broader View
Business architecture is often misunderstood as just a set of models or charts. But when done well, it becomes a strategic asset.
Business architecture links the mission and vision of an organization to its people, products, and platforms. It reveals what drives value and what gets in the way. It helps teams focus on the correct problems, right solutions, and see how their work contributes to broader goals.
This view is especially critical for technology leaders. With increasing pressure to justify investments and deliver outcomes, CIOs and CTOs need tools that bridge the gap between enterprise goals and technical execution. Business architecture does exactly that.
Business architecture gives technology leaders a voice in strategy conversations and helps business stakeholders make better-informed decisions about technology, particularly when it comes to emerging technology tools and processes.
A New Role of Business Architecture for a New AI Era
As artificial intelligence reshapes how businesses operate, the role of the business architect is also changing. It is no longer limited to facilitating conversations between IT and business. It is now a strategic leadership function that helps organizations interpret change, manage complexity, and respond with clarity.
In this AI-driven environment, decision-making is faster, data is heavier, and the lines between human and machine responsibilities continue to shift.
A skilled business architect becomes essential in this climate, not only to translate business needs into logical designs but also to ensure those designs remain human-centered, ethical, and adaptable.
This role requires much more than fluency in models or frameworks. It demands systems thinking, the ability to understand how decisions in one area influence outcomes elsewhere. It also requires what many leaders overlook: organizational empathy.
Successful business architects understand team dynamics, cultural resistance, and hidden constraints that shape behavior. They listen carefully, observe patiently, and map problems with a balance of technical insight and emotional intelligence.
In this new AI context, pattern recognition becomes a key advantage. Business architects are often the first to see where silos are blocking flow, where data is duplicated or underutilized, and where new capabilities are misaligned with strategic priorities. They ask questions others may not ask, and they connect dots that are usually missed.
Organizations that understand and elevate this role gain more than operational efficiency. They gain orientation. They know where they stand. They see a grounded and realistic view of where they want to go.
And perhaps most importantly, they develop flexible pathways to get there, pathways that do not collapse under pressure but shift when needed without losing momentum.
This is what leadership means in the architecture function today: the ability to think across systems, build trust across departments, and navigate change without adding unnecessary complexity.
In the AI era, business architects are not just strategic translators. They are sense-makers, navigators, and enablers of intelligent action.
Supporting Organizational Resilience and Reducing Business Risks
Beyond alignment and clarity, business architecture also supports security, compliance, and resilience.
As digital threats increase and systems grow more interconnected, companies must think about risk in broader terms. Architecture helps them do that.
Business architecture provides the structures to evaluate how a vulnerability in one area could impact another, and how a change in policy or regulation might ripple through operations.
This is especially relevant for leaders managing legacy systems, hybrid cloud environments, or global operations.
When every part of the enterprise connects to every other, architecture becomes the only reliable way to understand what is exposed, what is protected, and what needs to evolve.
Conclusions and Key Takeaways
We live in a time where expectations are high and margins are thin. Customers want faster service, better experiences, and more options.
Teams are remote, systems are distributed, and data is abundant but fragmented. Business leaders are asked to make decisions under uncertainty while keeping operations smooth and secure.
In this context, a vague strategy or a rigid plan is not enough. What is needed is a way to think clearly, act confidently, and adapt intelligently.
That is what business architecture offers when it is treated as a living, useful, and agile capability, not a one-time project or a static diagram.
If you are building systems, managing change, or leading strategy, business architecture is no longer optional. It is the only way to navigate complexity with purpose.
But to be effective, it must be grounded in agility and pragmatism with a gradual increase with an MVP (minimally viable product) approach, focused on value, and designed with both business and human outcomes in mind.
That is why I wrote in my book, Agile Business Architecture for Digital Transformation, empowered by my ACUMEN™ Framework, to support business architects, technology leaders, and business owners.
ACUMEN™ Framework stands for Agility, Capability Modelling, Upgradable Operating Models, Modernization, Enterprise Alignment, and Navigational Leadership.

First, I want to highlight that business architecture is not just for big organizations. Anyone who has a business needs it on a smaller scale and can leverage its power.
In times of economic pressure and rapid disruption globally, business leaders do not ask whether they need better planning or systems.
They ask how they can adapt, where to focus, and what to stop to survive and grow. Business architecture offers clear answers to these questions if it is done right by qualified architects.
At its core, business architecture provides a structured way to understand what an organization is trying to achieve, how it functions, and how its many moving parts connect.
A business architecture for an organization identifies purpose, clarifies functions, defines key roles, and reveals the essential flows between people, processes, data, and systems.
That may sound abstract at first, but the results are tangible: better decisions, clearer priorities, fewer surprises, and less waste.
Most importantly, business architecture brings strategy and execution into one space. Instead of having a vision on paper and a disconnected reality in practice, it creates a blueprint that links intentions to outcomes, goals to operations, and leadership to action.
This blueprint is not a static document. It is a living structure that evolves with the organization. Therefore, we need to update our business architecture regularly, reflecting changes in our strategy, tactics, services, and processes.
Business Architecture as a Thinking Tool
One of the most powerful features of business architecture is its ability to simplify complexity. In fast-growing or large organizations, complexity creates confusion.
Without a clear view of how capabilities, systems, and resources align, decisions become reactive or fragmented. Business architecture does not eliminate complexity, but it organizes it in a way that helps leaders think clearly. It shows what is essential, what is outdated, and where investments are genuinely needed.
This clarity becomes especially valuable during change. Whether a company is merging systems, launching a new product, or recovering from a downturn, business architecture provides a stable lens through which change can be understood, guided, and completed on time within budget.
The Rise of Agile and the Fall of Waterfall
For decades, many organizations followed a waterfall approach to change. They gathered detailed requirements, mapped every dependency, planned timelines in advance, and expected everyone to stick to the plan.
While this method works in stable environments, the current economic and financial climate is anything but stable. Markets shift overnight. Customer expectations evolve rapidly. Technology outpaces documentation. In this environment, rigidity creates risk.

Welcome to The Psychology of Emerging Technology Book by Dr Mehmet Yildiz
Introduction to The Psychology of Emerging Technology Book
How Big Data, AI, and Cognitive Science Shape the Future of Human Minds and Intelligent Systems
Preorder Page of the book: https://books2read.com/psychologyofte...
Whitehouse AI Action Plan in the US and other frenetic movements in many developed countries for the utmost focus on AI and quantum computing as a race, which can have a significant impact on our future, inspired me to turn my psychology of technology manuscript into a book that anyone can gain insights from.
For more than four decades, I have worked at the intersection of cognitive science, neuroscience, technology, and psychology as a researcher, educator, and technology leader in global enterprises. I have witnessed firsthand how emerging technologies both expand and challenge the way we think, decide, learn, and live.
The Psychology of Emerging Technology is the culmination of this lifelong work. It defines and fills a critical gap in an emerging discipline: understanding how rapidly evolving tools, from Big Data and IoT to AI, cloud ecosystems, virtual reality, and wearable technology, reshape cognition, behavior, and mental well-being at individual, organizational, and societal levels.
Grounded in real-world leadership experience and academic research, I have written this book for PhD students, researchers, policymakers, technologists, enterprise leaders, and critical thinkers who seek more than surface-level commentary. Through case studies, cognitive models, and tested frameworks, it blends the precision of science with the insight of lived practice.
At its core is my MINDTECH™ framework, which stands for Mapping Innovation, Integrating Neuroscience, Navigating Data, Designing Technology, Testing Ethics, Empowering Cognition, Cultivating Humanity, and Harnessing Futures.
This original framework unites technical imperatives with cognitive and ethical outcomes, making it as relevant to AI architects as it is to educators, policy experts, and superlearners.
Supporting MINDTECH™ are two additional frameworks:
MINDTECH™ framework by Dr Mehmet YildizS.P.A.R.K.S.™: Scalable, Predictive, Adaptive, Resilient, Knowledge-Driven, Secure. Links each technical requirement to measurable business and societal outcomes, ensuring solutions are robust, flexible, and trustworthy.
S.E.E. Model: Signal, Experience, Ethics. Guides technology assessment for the AI era, ensuring accurate signal interpretation, meaningful human experience, and responsible governance.
The Pillar Framework structures the book into four parts: Concepts, Systems, People & Practice, and Applications & Futures, while the SMART MIND Loop™ integrates cognitive optimization strategies, ensuring ideas are understood, retained, and applied.
You will explore:
· How social media rewires attention and emotional processing.
· Why immersive VR and digital therapeutics can both heal and harm.
· How AI systems influence trust in human–machine collaboration.
· The risks of algorithmic bias, privacy erosion, and inequitable access, and how to address them through design and governance.
· And it will include more topics in the psychology of technology domain.
Every chapter closes with actionable insights and reflection questions to bridge knowledge and application. My aim is not only to explain how technology shapes the mind, but to equip you with tools to design, implement, and govern systems responsibly.
This is a book for those who want to lead with technical excellence, ethical responsibility, and cognitive wisdom, a guide for shaping the future of AI, data, and digital innovation without losing sight of the people it is meant to serve.
Technology does not just extend our capabilities. It reflects our fears, our habits, and our hopes back to us. Understanding that reflection is the first step toward using it wisely.
The most powerful technologies are not the ones we see, but the ones that quietly change how we think, decide, and feel, without asking for permission.
Every tool we adopt rewires us in some way. If we do not study how it shapes our minds, we risk being shaped without knowing it.
The book is now available for pre-order through many bookstores. I started alpha reading this week and will begin beta reading next month through my discount book store and Substack publications. The full version will be ready by 7 January 2026.

July 31, 2025
Why Writing A Book About Robert F Kennedy Was the Most Challenging Among My 50+ Books
I Finished the Hardest Book of My Life, And Here Is What I Learned
This was the first project I nearly cancelled. I endured the pressure using the same mental models I teach superlearners and superachievers, with steady guidance from trusted mentors.
ISBN: 9798227128720
This was unlike any of the 50+ books I have written. It was harder than my scientific or technical books, more emotionally demanding than my story collections about leadership, and more complex than any of my strategy manuals.
It challenged not only my knowledge and stamina but my values, reputation, and sense of purpose as a writer.
I started turning my research manuscript into a book manuscript 12 months ago. I titled it The Mysterious Leadership Mind of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: How Cognitive & Behavioral Science Explain Thinking & Action Beyond the Box.
Then I announced that I am writing this book publicly in a story titled Who Is the Real RFK Jr. & How Cognitive Science Unpacks His Leadership, Influence, & Legacy in February 2025.
The First Time Challenges in my 40+ Years of Book Authoring
When I quietly began writing it, I did not anticipate how polarizing the subject would be. Some people discouraged me gently, and some harshly.
Others told me plainly that writing about RFK Jr. would damage my credibility and author reputation.
A few said it was not worth the trouble, so cancel it. Several even suggested that publishing the book would be a mistake that could haunt me for years, so I should even delete my stories and newsletters about it.
They tried to scare me and give doubts as BAITERs do in Dr Phil's vernacular.
These intense reactions surprised and even shocked me a bit when some strangers and online trolls started threatening me.
To reasonable critics, I said I had followed his work for decades, not as a supporter or critic, but as a cognitive scientist and observer of human behavior.
I was very much interested in how he handled grief in his younger years, how he challenged authority in his mid-years, how he framed arguments, and how his voice, both literal and metaphorical, shaped public reaction and finally became the Secretary of the biggest health department, HHS, in the United States.
My research has never been about promoting or attacking his ideas. It was about understanding an interesting leader whose lifestyle and activities resonated with me at multiple levels, and it could be interesting for aspiring leaders.
Still, the wave of doubt became strong due to massive email messages from Substack and Medium readers. I was on the verge of cancelling the project.
At one point, I quietly archived my manuscript, unsure if I would return to it, and told my wife I think this would be my first project to cancel. She couldn't believe her ears at first, but respected my decision.
I keep remembering the wise words of my mental hero, Madame Curie: "There is nothing to fear in life, just to be understood." This became my mantra in challenging times like these in the last six months.
Besides, gratefully, my wise mentors reminded me of something I had forgotten in this dilemma. They told me that writing is not always about acceptance by others. Sometimes it is about accuracy, honesty, integrity, truth-telling, and completion.
They believed I could finish what I started, and more importantly, that I should. They highly recommended that I continue and ignore BAITERs.
Their quiet confidence gave me the clarity and additional courage I needed in these challenging times. I always listen to my wise mentors, friends, editors, publishers, and my supportive wife.
I resisted the strong temptation of cancelling it. Over the next six months, I focused fully on completing the project.
I wrote with discipline and respect to my potential readers who want to learn my side of the truth.
I studied my massive research manuscript about RFK Jr. through the lens of leadership psychology, ethical behavior, rhetorical strategy, activism, legal issues, and cognitive bias.
I had to change my usual and casual voice for my book writing. I returned to my academic style, which Grammarly hated, giving every sentence red as it was written in passive style, unlike my active voice.
But I did not want it to be complex with jargon or complicated sentences. I shortened the sentences and used Hemingway Editor for each chapter to lower the content reading levels from Grade 17 to Grade 7 level without compromising scientific rigor, which the narrative required.
I did not write it as a biography or an opinion piece. I wrote a structured, methodically analyzed, and educational resource that helps readers at any level understand persuasion, pressure, identity, and legacy.
My focus was on aspiring leaders who can get the best out of this book, so each chapter included practical tips based on the narrative part of the book.
The Relief of Completion in Mid-July 2025
I submitted the completed versions to publishers. This week, the book passed quality checks by global publishing platforms like Findaway Voices for audio, Ingram and Amazon for global paperback, and my digital distributor, Draft2Digital, which will distribute it to many reputable bookstores globally.
I narrated the audiobook using Google Studios. I am very grateful to Google Play employees who supported me while recording it with a preferred virtual voice, with the utmost care I needed for it. Every sentence carried my intention and tone from a popular American model voice by Martin G.
Today, I uploaded the early access version as a complete digital and audio bundle to my discount bookstore at Digitalmehmet Content Ecosystem in EPUB, MOBI, PDF, and MP3 formats, zipped as one product bundle for interested readers and listeners.
This book is not just about a public figure like a traditional biography. It is a cognitive, psychological, and behavioral analysis about how we perceive the minds of leadership, how we assign meaning to speech and silence, and how courage sometimes looks like quiet persistence.
I am pleased I finished it successfully and on time. I will further improve it with beta readers' feedback and guidance from three senior editors and six subject matter experts to make it a full version next month.
Here is a sample draft chapter I shared four months ago on this platform. But it does not reflect my narrative style in the published version.

Key Takeaways
To fellow writers who feel stuck, who are told that their ideas are too risky or controversial, I want to say this clearly:
You can write with care and truth. You can challenge assumptions while maintaining your values. You can finish difficult projects and grow stronger for doing so.
Writing should never be confined by fear or anxiety. As long as your work is grounded in honesty, integrity, respect, and curiosity, it will find those who are ready to read it.
In a time when loud voices often drown out thoughtful ones, we need books that ask more than they answer, that offer analysis without accusation, that invite us to understand before we judge.
I hope this work reflects that spirit for my loyal and potential readers. And I hope it encourages other writers to move forward with grace, even when the topic feels heavy and the road uncertain.
I invite you to keep creating space for diverse thought, careful inquiry, and meaningful reflection. That is how change begins.
I will soon upload the digital and audio versions to my Health & Wellness Network publication on Substack for members.

Here is the link to the story: https://medium.com/illumination/visio...
This was the first project I nearly cancelled. I endured the pressure using the same mental models I teach superlearners and superachievers, with steady guidance from trusted mentors.
ISBN: 9798227128720
This was unlike any of the 50+ books I have written. It was harder than my scientific or technical books, more emotionally demanding than my story collections about leadership, and more complex than any of my strategy manuals.
It challenged not only my knowledge and stamina but my values, reputation, and sense of purpose as a writer.
I started turning my research manuscript into a book manuscript 12 months ago. I titled it The Mysterious Leadership Mind of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: How Cognitive & Behavioral Science Explain Thinking & Action Beyond the Box.
Then I announced that I am writing this book publicly in a story titled Who Is the Real RFK Jr. & How Cognitive Science Unpacks His Leadership, Influence, & Legacy in February 2025.
The First Time Challenges in my 40+ Years of Book Authoring
When I quietly began writing it, I did not anticipate how polarizing the subject would be. Some people discouraged me gently, and some harshly.
Others told me plainly that writing about RFK Jr. would damage my credibility and author reputation.
A few said it was not worth the trouble, so cancel it. Several even suggested that publishing the book would be a mistake that could haunt me for years, so I should even delete my stories and newsletters about it.
They tried to scare me and give doubts as BAITERs do in Dr Phil's vernacular.
These intense reactions surprised and even shocked me a bit when some strangers and online trolls started threatening me.
To reasonable critics, I said I had followed his work for decades, not as a supporter or critic, but as a cognitive scientist and observer of human behavior.
I was very much interested in how he handled grief in his younger years, how he challenged authority in his mid-years, how he framed arguments, and how his voice, both literal and metaphorical, shaped public reaction and finally became the Secretary of the biggest health department, HHS, in the United States.
My research has never been about promoting or attacking his ideas. It was about understanding an interesting leader whose lifestyle and activities resonated with me at multiple levels, and it could be interesting for aspiring leaders.
Still, the wave of doubt became strong due to massive email messages from Substack and Medium readers. I was on the verge of cancelling the project.
At one point, I quietly archived my manuscript, unsure if I would return to it, and told my wife I think this would be my first project to cancel. She couldn't believe her ears at first, but respected my decision.
I keep remembering the wise words of my mental hero, Madame Curie: "There is nothing to fear in life, just to be understood." This became my mantra in challenging times like these in the last six months.
Besides, gratefully, my wise mentors reminded me of something I had forgotten in this dilemma. They told me that writing is not always about acceptance by others. Sometimes it is about accuracy, honesty, integrity, truth-telling, and completion.
They believed I could finish what I started, and more importantly, that I should. They highly recommended that I continue and ignore BAITERs.
Their quiet confidence gave me the clarity and additional courage I needed in these challenging times. I always listen to my wise mentors, friends, editors, publishers, and my supportive wife.
I resisted the strong temptation of cancelling it. Over the next six months, I focused fully on completing the project.
I wrote with discipline and respect to my potential readers who want to learn my side of the truth.
I studied my massive research manuscript about RFK Jr. through the lens of leadership psychology, ethical behavior, rhetorical strategy, activism, legal issues, and cognitive bias.
I had to change my usual and casual voice for my book writing. I returned to my academic style, which Grammarly hated, giving every sentence red as it was written in passive style, unlike my active voice.
But I did not want it to be complex with jargon or complicated sentences. I shortened the sentences and used Hemingway Editor for each chapter to lower the content reading levels from Grade 17 to Grade 7 level without compromising scientific rigor, which the narrative required.
I did not write it as a biography or an opinion piece. I wrote a structured, methodically analyzed, and educational resource that helps readers at any level understand persuasion, pressure, identity, and legacy.
My focus was on aspiring leaders who can get the best out of this book, so each chapter included practical tips based on the narrative part of the book.
The Relief of Completion in Mid-July 2025
I submitted the completed versions to publishers. This week, the book passed quality checks by global publishing platforms like Findaway Voices for audio, Ingram and Amazon for global paperback, and my digital distributor, Draft2Digital, which will distribute it to many reputable bookstores globally.
I narrated the audiobook using Google Studios. I am very grateful to Google Play employees who supported me while recording it with a preferred virtual voice, with the utmost care I needed for it. Every sentence carried my intention and tone from a popular American model voice by Martin G.
Today, I uploaded the early access version as a complete digital and audio bundle to my discount bookstore at Digitalmehmet Content Ecosystem in EPUB, MOBI, PDF, and MP3 formats, zipped as one product bundle for interested readers and listeners.
This book is not just about a public figure like a traditional biography. It is a cognitive, psychological, and behavioral analysis about how we perceive the minds of leadership, how we assign meaning to speech and silence, and how courage sometimes looks like quiet persistence.
I am pleased I finished it successfully and on time. I will further improve it with beta readers' feedback and guidance from three senior editors and six subject matter experts to make it a full version next month.
Here is a sample draft chapter I shared four months ago on this platform. But it does not reflect my narrative style in the published version.

Key Takeaways
To fellow writers who feel stuck, who are told that their ideas are too risky or controversial, I want to say this clearly:
You can write with care and truth. You can challenge assumptions while maintaining your values. You can finish difficult projects and grow stronger for doing so.
Writing should never be confined by fear or anxiety. As long as your work is grounded in honesty, integrity, respect, and curiosity, it will find those who are ready to read it.
In a time when loud voices often drown out thoughtful ones, we need books that ask more than they answer, that offer analysis without accusation, that invite us to understand before we judge.
I hope this work reflects that spirit for my loyal and potential readers. And I hope it encourages other writers to move forward with grace, even when the topic feels heavy and the road uncertain.
I invite you to keep creating space for diverse thought, careful inquiry, and meaningful reflection. That is how change begins.
I will soon upload the digital and audio versions to my Health & Wellness Network publication on Substack for members.

What is SMART MIND Loop™ within Superlearning Context?
I decided to author this long-overdue and comprehensive manuscript as an invitation to explore learning as a natural, joyful, effortless, accelerated, and transformative experience that can occur at any age when aligned with how the brain biologically and psychologically functions.
Through the SMART MIND Loop™, which I developed in the 1990s, I will share a neuroscience-backed, 12-step system refined through decades of research, collaboration, and sensible biohacking experimentation in neurobiology, neurochemistry, neurocomputing, neuronutrition, nutritional biochemistry, neuroethics, education, and superlearning.
SMART MIND Loop™ stands for:
Sleep Mastery
Movement Integration
Attention Sculpting
Recall Repetition
Timing Strategies & Tactics
Mindful Encoding
Input Curation
Neuro Nutrition
Distraction Blocking
Loop Reflection
Optimized Outcome Tracking
Each step provides practical guidance to enhance focus, memory, attention, task switching, and creativity, while building cognitive reserves to mitigate decline or impairment and support lifelong brain health.
This framework integrates my lifelong learning as a scientist, inventor, innovator, educator, and sensible biohacker with the most important insights I have discovered about how we think, grow, and thrive.
If you are struggling with learning difficulties, memory challenges, or task-switching delays, this book may provide guidance.
But it goes beyond challenges with a focus on cognitive enhancement and performance, aiming to delay the onset of cognitive decline, dementia, or Alzheimer's disease, which are common disorders in the modern world.
Whether you are a student, educator, parent, writer, book author, entrepreneur, or lifelong learner, this book helps you:
Rewire how you study, remember, and apply new knowledge
Make learning more intuitive, embodied, and emotionally rewarding
Reduce mental clutter, chronic stress, and procrastination
Activate neuroplasticity, sharpen executive function, and protect long-term cognitive health
Cultivate sustainable habits that strengthen your focus, creativity, and confidence
This comprehensive learning guide is a natural extension of my previous health-related work in Train Your Brain for a Healthier and Happier Life, Cortisol Clarity, Cellular Intelligence, and Healthspan Mastery, as learning is both a biological and psychological process.
While those books explored the foundations of stress, brain resilience, and mitochondrial health, this one brings the focus to one of our most powerful human capacities - super learning - and shows how we can strengthen it, protect it, and enjoy it at every stage of life.
I wrote this book because so many of my readers asked me a question I could not ignore: "How do I apply all this brain and body science to actually learn faster and feel better every day?" This book answers that question.
My work does not rely on second-hand information or recycled advice. It offers a structured, original, and accessible approach shaped by my studies in ethnography, systems thinking, and health technologies, and verified through collaborative conversations with neuroscientists, clinical psychologists, and educators.
Cognitive enhancement or performance is no longer a futuristic ideal or reserved for elite performance. It is within your reach. I experienced and observed the outcomes, which will be documented in this book.
By understanding the interrelationships between thoughts, attention, emotion, perception, memory, timing, sleep, nutrition, and movement, you can cultivate a brighter, healthier, and more fulfilling life without succumbing to burnout or overwhelm.
My goal is not to overwhelm you with theoretical data. With practical ideas and tips, I aim to inspire you to trust your brain's capacity, use evidence-based strategies, and turn learning into a daily act of joy, purpose, and clarity.
From neurobics and fasting protocols to distraction blocking and outcome tracking, I offer you powerful tools and processes that work in the real world. They are tools and processes I personally used to improve my own cognitive health and reverse mental burnout.
If you are ready to turn learning into an advantageous habit, improve your brain's performance naturally, sharpen your mind, and protect yourself from mental decline as you age, then I invite you to explore the SMART MIND Loop™ and begin your next chapter of super learning effortlessly, joyfully, and powerfully for a healthier and happier life.
I see learning joyful like kids, as mistakes are never failures to me, but stepping stones to success.
I will start the alpha and then beta reading process for this book soon. If you want to be part of this reading group, I offer an 80% discount on the membership of my Superlearning publication on Substack. Here is the link to the voucher to be a discounted member and reap all the benefits.

Modern Affiliate Marketing for Writers: The Long-Awaited Book Is Available Now
Modern Affiliate Marketing for Writers: The Long-Awaited Book Is Finally Coming…
How You Can Create Content That Earns Extra Income While You Sleep
Early access is available on my bookstore, and pre-order on Amazon. Non-members can read this story on our community blogs or Patreon.
In 2021, something remarkable happened.
For the first time in my 40+ years of publishing experience, one of my self-published books, powered entirely by my new indie curiosity and minimal investment, sold over 1,000 copies in its first month.
It felt like a turning point worth documenting, as it filled a gap at the time, so I wrote a story about it in 2021 titled Here's How I Sold 1,000+ Books in a Month with Minimal Investment First Time.
That story did not go viral.
But the book quietly reached thousands of writers, bloggers, and indie authors globally. Many used its insights to start small with affiliate marketing. Some built full-time income streams.
Others tested the waters through Substack or Patreon, making some progress.
A few gave up quickly, realizing this path requires more than enthusiasm. It demands a strategy, system, plan, and persistence.
Like any job, affiliate marketing is not for everyone.
Those who took the time to study, create a strategy, and follow through have made real progress.
Those who struggled usually faced the very problems I explained in another story: Here's Why Affiliate Marketers Fail And How to Fix the Problems in Five Steps.
Why Did I Write Modern Affiliate Marketing?
You might be thinking and asking: Why Publish Another Book About Affiliate Marketing in 2025 again? Fair question. And here is my honest answer:
The digital world has changed, but the hunger for reliable, sustainable income sources has only grown stronger, especially among writers navigating platforms like Substack, Ghost, Patreon, Kit, Beehiiv, and more.
I didn't write this book for the average influencer or tech-savvy e-commerce guru. I have written it for you, a writer, blogger, indie book author, or freelance content creator, someone who thrives on words, stories, and substance.
Whether you write essays on academic environments, newsletters on Substack, stories on Medium, blogs on Ghost, exclusive content on your platform, craft lessons in Beehiiv newsletters, or connect with patrons on Patreon, you are contributing to the building of a trust-based digital economy.
As a growing Substack author with a bestseller badge now, I have had the privilege of observing and mentoring freelancers who use these platforms ethically, responsibly, and quite lucratively.
They do not rely on gimmicks or unsubstantiated growth hacks. Instead, they use affiliate marketing to add value for their readers, creating a natural extension of their creative and editorial voices.
I have taught this material in workshops, coached writers one-on-one, and witnessed how a well-placed affiliate link, integrated into a story or newsletter readers genuinely look forward to, can open a consistent income stream. Most guides available discuss affiliate marketing in a transactional manner. This one does not.
Affiliate marketing, in its simplest form, involves recommending a product or service and earning a commission when someone makes a purchase through your unique referral link. That is it.
But do not let this simplicity fool you. Behind the scenes lies an ecosystem of relationships, tracking systems, ethical decisions, and platform-specific best practices.
Every platform you work on is different, and you need to learn its rules and audience expectations. For example, what works on Substack does not work on Medium.
If you search online, you will encounter a digital maze, SEO-optimized blogs screaming for attention, outdated forums offering irrelevant advice, and a sea of contradictory opinions. It can feel like trying to sip from a fire hose.
Considering the challenges faced by writers, book authors, bloggers, and content startups, I designed this book as your quiet, focused corner a place where nuance matters more than noise.
Affiliate marketing is not new. I started it even before the Internet was invented. We used to call it revenue sharing.
However, online (digital) affiliate marketing tailored to the modern newsletter writer or micro-business content studio is still in its early stages of development. That is where this book fits. It is a bridge between timeless principles and timely methods.
What do affiliate marketers promote?
Almost everything, from wellness products and design software to podcast tools, educational courses, and creator-first platforms. Whatever your niche (writing, parenting, mental health, finance, relationships, or technology), you will find affiliate programs that align with your values.
You do not need to be a full-time promoter.
The best affiliate writers I know are thoughtful Substackers. One of my protégés writes cultural essays and occasionally recommends books and research tools in her footnotes.
Another builds simple tech tutorials on Ghost and links to the tools he uses, providing calm, wise, and grounded explanations. Their readers trust them because they never feel like they're being "sold to."
That is the secret: promote only what you use and believe in.
Your voice is your equity. When readers ask follow-up questions, your ability to answer them with lived experience (not a Googled pitch) builds credibility.
You may ask, "Do I need a large email list?"
Not necessarily, but it helps. Some of the most profitable affiliate writers operate in highly specific verticals, with a few hundred to a thousand subscribers who engage deeply.
In a niche market, quality trumps quantity. And tools like Beehiiv and Kit make segmentation, targeting, and link tracking easier than ever.
I only use a small segment of my email list subscribers, as not everyone is interested in product recommendations. Therefore, segmentation is very important in email and affiliate marketing, as I covered in my Smart Email Marketing book, which was published recently.
How do companies know you generated the sale?
Through unique affiliate links. When a subscriber clicks your link and buys, the sale is logged, and your commission is calculated automatically. Many email platforms now offer integrations and dashboards to make this process seamless.
What about startup costs?
Practically none. You don't need paid ads or a tech team. You need your email list, your content archives, and the awareness to treat your writing as a delivery mechanism, not just for ideas but for value.
Writers in my community frequently ask: "What should I promote? How do I apply to affiliate programs? What if I am too small?"
This book answers all of those fundamental questions in plain yet practical language, especially for those of us who write long-form content, run bootstrapped operations, or publish newsletters as our primary creative outlet.
If you already have a writing voice, a cadence, and a community, even if it is small, you are not starting from zero. You are simply learning how to highlight tools, platforms, and services that align with your work and serve your readers. That is what ethical affiliate marketing will look like in 2025 and beyond.
In this updated edition, I explore how writers can leverage social media platforms strategically, utilize SEO techniques to attract meaningful traffic to affiliate links, and seamlessly integrate affiliate marketing into their blogs, newsletters, and e-books, all while adhering to ethical standards and adopting best practices that protect trust and enhance credibility.
This is not a book that promises overnight success or quick tricks. It is a thoughtful and irreverent guide based on ethnographic observation, interviews with modern content entrepreneurs, and years of hard-earned lessons from the inside.
My Background in Affiliate Marketing: From Early Days in the 1980s to Ethical Strategy with Lessons Learned for the 2025 Edition
In this section, I will briefly share my history with affiliate marketing to establish the foundational authority from this book. I aim to illustrate that affiliate marketing is not a passing tactic or shortcut. It is a practice that can empower freelance creators and established businesses when rooted in ethical clarity and long-term strategy.
My connection to what we now call affiliate marketing started in the early 1980s. Back then, we referred to it as revenue share. It was simple: if I helped you generate income through referrals or collaborations, we split the outcome fairly.
There were no dashboards, no pixels, no influencer codes, just shared results and mutual respect. That spirit of reciprocity is still, in my opinion, the heart of affiliate marketing at its best.
In the early 2000s, as the internet began shaping global commerce, I formalized these ideas into a graduate-level curriculum. The course "Digital Affiliate Marketing for Technology Leaders and Business Owners" was taught in an MBA program I helped build.
It was one of the first to offer affiliate marketing not just as a marketing tactic but as an ethical business framework for future business leaders.
I designed it not for influencers or opportunists but for strategic thinkers: those building real businesses, startups, or advisory practices.
We covered everything from referral tracking systems and funnel design to disclosure ethics and the dangers of platform dependency. That foundation remains critical for anyone entering this space today.
By 2021, the digital creator economy had experienced explosive growth. I took the core of that curriculum and condensed it into a book designed for a new audience: freelance writers.
The result was a practical, simplified guide to earning passive income through affiliate marketing, grounded in values rather than just tactics.
The book did well. It sold thousands of copies through mainstream bookstores and my platforms, including Patreon Shop and Kit Shop. I wrote a transparent case study about selling over 1,000 copies in a month with minimal investment. The strategy involved channels and positioning, credibility, and a genuine relationship with readers.
I published many of those book chapters on Medium, where only a few found traction due to limitations in content distribution for such book chapters.
Meanwhile, on Substack, Patreon, or my own platform, those same lessons reached many. I observed this closely. It taught me a vital lesson about control: when platforms own the distribution rules, creators must adapt or be forgotten. That's why I created my own bookstore.
This insight shaped the second version of the Affiliate Marketing book.
Informed by a new wave of ethical and successful Substack authors, the revised edition reflects lessons from those who manage affiliate marketing within newsletters, memberships, and digital stores.
The strategies I share here are not theoretical; they are practical. They come from lived experience and earned income.
Affiliate marketing works when both sides operate with integrity. The affiliate owner, whether a big brand or a small creator, must clearly track referrals, notify partners of any changes, and pay commissions fairly. Freelancers must only promote products they use and trust.
When these values break down, so does the relationship. Some platforms have quietly shut down programs, retroactively changed terms, or framed strategic cutbacks as technical "bugs." These are red flags.
On the other side, some creators overload their content with affiliate links, losing the trust that built their audience in the first place.
That is why I teach affiliate marketing not as a tool for easy money but as a long-term strategy rooted in shared goals.
It is one component in a broader system of revenue streams. Writers and creators should never rely on one platform, product, or program.
Instead, build your own infrastructure: Your newsletter. Your analytics. Your audience. Your offer. Affiliate marketing can support this, but it should never replace it.
My guidance to my students and proteges was to use affiliate marketing to enhance their value, not dilute it. Make it a complement, not the core. That mindset has sustained me for over four decades in this space, and I hope it now helps guide you.
Where to Find the Modern Affiliate Marketing for Writers
The book is now available at my discount bookstore. Google Books also published it as a digital version, and Google Play as an audio version. It will be available on Amazon and many other bookstores next week. I will also upload the audio to my discount shop and the Substack publication for members this weekend.
Thank you for reading my perspectives. I wish you a healthy and happy life.

Practically none. You don't need paid ads or a tech team. You need your email list, your content archives, and the awareness to treat your writing as a delivery mechanism, not just for ideas but for value.
Writers in my community frequently ask: "What should I promote? How do I apply to affiliate programs? What if I am too small?"
This book answers all of those fundamental questions in plain yet practical language, especially for those of us who write long-form content, run bootstrapped operations, or publish newsletters as our primary creative outlet.
If you already have a writing voice, a cadence, and a community, even if it is small, you are not starting from zero. You are simply learning how to highlight tools, platforms, and services that align with your work and serve your readers. That is what ethical affiliate marketing will look like in 2025 and beyond.
In this updated edition, I explore how writers can leverage social media platforms strategically, utilize SEO techniques to attract meaningful traffic to affiliate links, and seamlessly integrate affiliate marketing into their blogs, newsletters, and e-books, all while adhering to ethical standards and adopting best practices that protect trust and enhance credibility.
This is not a book that promises overnight success or quick tricks. It is a thoughtful and irreverent guide based on ethnographic observation, interviews with modern content entrepreneurs, and years of hard-earned lessons from the inside.
My Background in Affiliate Marketing: From Early Days in the 1980s to Ethical Strategy with Lessons Learned for the 2025 Edition
In this section, I will briefly share my history with affiliate marketing to establish the foundational authority from this book. I aim to illustrate that affiliate marketing is not a passing tactic or shortcut. It is a practice that can empower freelance creators and established businesses when rooted in ethical clarity and long-term strategy.
My connection to what we now call affiliate marketing started in the early 1980s. Back then, we referred to it as revenue share. It was simple: if I helped you generate income through referrals or collaborations, we split the outcome fairly.
There were no dashboards, no pixels, no influencer codes, just shared results and mutual respect. That spirit of reciprocity is still, in my opinion, the heart of affiliate marketing at its best.
In the early 2000s, as the internet began shaping global commerce, I formalized these ideas into a graduate-level curriculum. The course "Digital Affiliate Marketing for Technology Leaders and Business Owners" was taught in an MBA program I helped build.
It was one of the first to offer affiliate marketing not just as a marketing tactic but as an ethical business framework for future business leaders.
I designed it not for influencers or opportunists but for strategic thinkers: those building real businesses, startups, or advisory practices.
We covered everything from referral tracking systems and funnel design to disclosure ethics and the dangers of platform dependency. That foundation remains critical for anyone entering this space today.
By 2021, the digital creator economy had experienced explosive growth. I took the core of that curriculum and condensed it into a book designed for a new audience: freelance writers.
The result was a practical, simplified guide to earning passive income through affiliate marketing, grounded in values rather than just tactics.
The book did well. It sold thousands of copies through mainstream bookstores and my platforms, including Patreon Shop and Kit Shop. I wrote a transparent case study about selling over 1,000 copies in a month with minimal investment. The strategy involved channels and positioning, credibility, and a genuine relationship with readers.
I published many of those book chapters on Medium, where only a few found traction due to limitations in content distribution for such book chapters.
Meanwhile, on Substack, Patreon, or my own platform, those same lessons reached many. I observed this closely. It taught me a vital lesson about control: when platforms own the distribution rules, creators must adapt or be forgotten. That's why I created my own bookstore.
This insight shaped the second version of the Affiliate Marketing book.
Informed by a new wave of ethical and successful Substack authors, the revised edition reflects lessons from those who manage affiliate marketing within newsletters, memberships, and digital stores.
The strategies I share here are not theoretical; they are practical. They come from lived experience and earned income.
Affiliate marketing works when both sides operate with integrity. The affiliate owner, whether a big brand or a small creator, must clearly track referrals, notify partners of any changes, and pay commissions fairly. Freelancers must only promote products they use and trust.
When these values break down, so does the relationship. Some platforms have quietly shut down programs, retroactively changed terms, or framed strategic cutbacks as technical "bugs." These are red flags.
On the other side, some creators overload their content with affiliate links, losing the trust that built their audience in the first place.
That is why I teach affiliate marketing not as a tool for easy money but as a long-term strategy rooted in shared goals.
It is one component in a broader system of revenue streams. Writers and creators should never rely on one platform, product, or program.
Instead, build your own infrastructure: Your newsletter. Your analytics. Your audience. Your offer. Affiliate marketing can support this, but it should never replace it.
My guidance to my students and proteges was to use affiliate marketing to enhance their value, not dilute it. Make it a complement, not the core. That mindset has sustained me for over four decades in this space, and I hope it now helps guide you.
Where to Find the Modern Affiliate Marketing for Writers
The book is now available at my discount bookstore. Google Books also published it as a digital version, and Google Play as an audio version. It will be available on Amazon and many other bookstores next week. I will also upload the audio to my discount shop and the Substack publication for members this weekend.
Thank you for reading my perspectives. I wish you a healthy and happy life.
