Join us in conversation with Ruchika Sikri and Dr. Patrick Porter as we chat about their book, Brain Fitness Blueprint, in which they present a 30-day action plan to supercharge your brain and achieve peak performance.
Your brain wasn’t built for the world we live in. Poor sleep, excessive screen time, and modern stressors have disrupted brain function, leading to mental fatigue, decreased focus, and emotional imbalance. So how are we going to thrive?
Dr. Patrick Porter, founder of BrainTap, and Ruchika Sikri, founding partner of Wisdom Ventures and former Head of Well-being Learning at Google, will help you restore your cognitive clarity, find emotional balance, and achieve lasting vitality with an integrative framework that harnesses the tools of holistic spiritual practices alongside the insights of cutting-edge research.
Their groundbreaking blueprint will reveal:

Why modern life is hijacking your brain—and how to reclaim control
How meditation, breathwork, and nature-based rituals reset your nervous system
How emerging technologies can enhance focus, sleep, and emotional regulation
Daily habits to support mental sharpness, resilience, and purpose
A 30-day action plan to rewire your brain for energy, clarity, and joy
