How can we achieve greater mental performance and creativity in a modern world of constant distraction, always-urgent deadlines, mindless social media scrolling and anxiety-inducing 24/7 news?

In LIT, innovative Harvard and MIT scientist Jeff Karp has found a powerful way to access high energy thinking with the help of his brain hacks, or Life Ignition Tools (LIT). LIT is a life magnifier, a heightened state of awareness that drives curiosity, connection, and energy. In short: being LIT takes us off autopilot and helps us stay alert, present, and fully engaged.

Life Ignition Tools (LIT) help us:
  • Break out of habitual thinking to discover our own imaginative power.
  • Stimulate creativity and excitement at work.
  • Integrate our spiritual and personal lives to repair and deepen our relationships.
  • Navigate multiple streams of sensory input and manage information overload.
Using Dr Karp's tools, LIT will take you off autopilot and help you redirect your life with energy, focus and creativity so that you can create a life you truly want to lead.

About Jeffrey Karp

Dr Jeff Karp is Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and a researcher at MIT. Diagnosed with learning difficulties at a young age, he slowly built up a series of 'brain hijack' tools to tap into his own unique patterns of thought and behaviour, which eventually evolved into the seven brain ignition tools he uses in his work today. He has published more than 125 peer-reviewed papers, holds more than 100 patents and received more than 50 awards and honours. Karp lives in Brookline, Massachusetts with his wife, son, daughter and two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
