At the Flow Genome Project, he leads a team of the world's top scientists, athletes and artists dedicated to mapping the genome of the peak-performance state known as Flow.

"This is a book on the biggest sort of thinking -- from personal to
societal -- written by an author with an eye for what matters, an
ear for story and a mind for the sublime." -- David Eagleman,
Neuroscientist at Stanford, New York Times bestselling author of
Livewired and Incognito, and host of PBS The Brain
"The death of belief has led to a collapse of meaning, and many of
us are looking to neuroscience and psychology for inspiration and
understanding. Wheal knows that peak states bring about deep
healing, and he is here to deliver. This enrapturing book not only
details various drivers of our cultural evolution, it becomes one
itself." -- Julie Holland, MD, Author of Good Chemistry: The
Science of Connection From Soul to Psychedelics and Weekends at
Bellevue
"A highly personal, richly informed and culturally wide-ranging
mediation on the loss of meaning in our times and on pathways to
rediscovering it, from breath through psychedelics--a search fueled
by Jamie Wheal's boundless curiosity and commitment to
transformation." -- Gabor Mate M.D., Author: In The Realm of Hungry
Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction
"Can humanity survive today's exponential world change? Doomsayers
say NO--we're flying blind in the spiraling collapse of
civilization. But Wheal offers us a savvy, intriguing and novel
roadmap to self-renewal. And it's packed with literary, cultural,
historical and biological references as well. You won't forget this
gem--it's a fascinating read." -- Dr. Helen Fisher, Senior Research
Fellow, The Kinsey Institute, Chief Scientist, Match.com, author
Why We Love: The Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love
"Recapture the Rapture offers an invaluable roadmap for
transformational consciousness and culture, filled with practical
tools to harness our healing, reclaim our inspiration and connect
to each other for the road ahead." -- Rick Doblin, Founder and
Executive Director, Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic
Studies (MAPS)
"This apocalypse is far more complicated than end-times usually
are, but Jamie navigates the complexities with rigor and merciless
wit. He's one of those writers who frustrates my desire to make
disparaging generalisations about non-Indigenous thought!" -- Tyson
Yunkaporta Author of Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save
the World, Apalech Clan
"Recapture the Rapture is both a hymnal and an operations manual
for the party at the end of the world-as-we-know-it. The cure for
spiritual bypassing and conspirituality is not more mindfulness, it
seems, but a redemptive and mutant religiosity that dives into the
deep end of our contemporary catastrophe." -- Erik Davis, author,
High Weirdness: Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the
70s
"I have a feeling that like most readers, I'm closer to those who
have lost the rapture than those who live in it. Luckily for us,
Jamie Wheal has laid out a fun and accessible path to reclaiming
the ecstasy that makes life not merely worth living, but possible
in the first place and sustainable in the long run." -- Douglas
Rushkoff, Author of Team Human, Throwing Rocks at the Google
Bus
"In his rhythmic prose, Wheal crafts A mystical balm. A fool-proof
formula for transcendence. And the kind of sacraments here, at the
end of history, that could spawn the much-needed recognition of our
shared humanity.." -- Brian Muraresku, Author NYT Bestseller The
Immortality Key
"The way forward, argues Wheal...is to rediscover and reinvent our
humanity in radical ways that places community, respect for
ourselves, the planet and the human species at the center of our
strategy for survival; and it's a strategy that can work for
everyone." -- Dennis McKenna PhD Ethnopharmacology, Author
