3 books published · Public author page →
Chris Thomas writes “Funny…Sharp….Down to Earth and Refreshing” books on Neuroscience, Mindfulness, and Philosophy by imagining he’s talking to his kids 15 years from now - when they might finally be willing to listen.
In the meantime, anyone can read them - high performers looking for an edge, people stuck in mental loops who need a way out, anyone tired of mysticism dressed up as wisdom, anyone who wants their brain to work better. It works for ADHD minds that move too fast and autistic minds that process too deeply, and everyone in between, because RatMind doesn’t fix how you think, it shows you how to think better.
His RatMind™ system delivers practical mental tools that work under pressure, written with the blunt wit of a friend who cuts through the BS, strips away mystique, and gives simple truths back raw.

How to Solve (Pretty Much) Everything
The Same Nine Steps Work on Everything from Lost Keys to World Peace
What if the same exact process that finds your keys could also save your marriage, fix your business, and even prevent wars?
It sounds ridiculous. It's also true.
The Problem You Know Too Well
You're smart. You're capable. Yet somehow you're still:
Late because your keys vanished (again)
Watching that work project turn to chaos
Having the same argument with your teenager, partner, or boss
Feeling like different problems need completely different skills
The Truth Nobody Tells You
All solvable problems follow the same pattern. Master it once, use it forever.
What Makes This Revolutionary
This isn't another problem-solving book. This is THE problem-solving book that makes all others redundant.
The Nine-Step System includes something no other framework does: Think Odds, Not Drama, the missing piece that explains why smart people make terrible decisions. While everyone else is choosing exciting solutions that probably will not work, you will be choosing boring ones that actually will.
Inside You'll Discover:
✓ The Universal Pattern – Why finding keys and international peace negotiations are basically the same problem at different scales
✓ The Bucket System – Sort what you control from what you do not in seconds (Step 3 alone will change your life)
✓ The Drama Trap – Why your brain sabotages you with exciting failures instead of boring successes
✓ Real Proof at Every Scale:
Personal: The five-pound hook that solved twenty years of lost keys
Family: The WiFi trick that got teenagers doing chores without arguments
Business: The Birmingham company that fixed 47 problems with a notepad
International: How three countries share river water without killing each other
✓ The Child Test – If a ten-year-old cannot understand your solution, it will not work
Why This Works When Nothing Else Does
Other systems give you:
Different approaches for different problems
Complex frameworks requiring training
Inspirational fluff with no clear actions
Solutions that work in theory, fail in practice
This gives you:
One system for everything (seriously, everything)
Nine steps a child could follow
Zero mystical nonsense
Proven results from kitchens to kingdoms
Perfect For:
Anyone who has bought self-help books that did not help
People drowning in different "solutions" for different problems
Readers who value clarity over complexity
Those who suspect experts make things complicated on purpose
Not For:
People who want to feel special about their "unique" problems
Complexity addicts who think simple cannot be powerful
Anyone allergic to British humour and brutal honesty
The Bottom Line
Stop collecting different tools for different problems. Learn the one pattern that governs them all.
Your keys will thank you. Your family will thank you. Your sanity will definitely thank you.
Because once you see that all problems are the same problem wearing different costumes, you cannot unsee it. And you will never be stuck again.
From Chris Thomas, who learned these steps the hard way so you do not have to.
“Beautifully simple, the leap from finding lost keys to creating world peace all seems plausible.” – Verified Reviewer
