Author and creator of Zettelkasten for Fiction: Where Imagination Finds Order
“Turn the Page is the perfect introduction to making the best possible use of not only old books but any book you will ever pick up again. Consider this your preamble to a new relationship with the books you read. [...] This book is more than a doorway. It's more like a passageway opening before you and guiding you to a future of expanded perception and creativity.”
Author of Writing with Emotion: How to Inspire Your Readers and Get Them to Remember What You Write FOREVER
"Mel's book, Turn the Page, is a short yet impressively practical guide on how to achieve transformation by reading old books. Mel shows you how to create something extraordinary, in the eye of the beholder, out of the mundane and ordinary. It's about juxtaposing old and new assumptions, novel insights and enduring ideas and coupling them together with the three practices described therein, to create a life worth living. A life of transformation. Through freewriting, discursive meditation, and the Zettelkasten method, I was able, perhaps for the first time, to slow down and question the dominant narratives and mental models that I use to operate in the world. What I learned was that many of my so-called ideas were not in fact mine but products of hegemonic influence. So, I took Mel's advice and ventured in the past to shape my present."

Your mind will become supercharged with new mental models. You will know how to analyze any argument or idea and decide what you really think about it.
Original Ideas
Success comes from standing out from the crowd. Most people merely rehash the same tired old ideas, and with the rise in AI-generated text original ideas are even more rare. Once you know how to think in unconventional ways, unconventional ideas will become second nature.
No longer will you blindly follow the path set out for you by society. When you know your own mind, you unleash the superpower of choosing your own direction in life.

(And no, it's not a gimmick.)
I am selling each book at the cost of printing, fulfillment, and shipping, and not a penny more.
Why am I doing this?
Because I'm just that generous.
But seriously, there are two reasons I'm doing this.
First, I have spent years testing out different methods of developing my mind. The practices in this book are the ones that have truly worked.
I'm doing this because I don't want you to waste your life on the search! I've already done the legwork for you. I'd rather you start with methods that work so you can get to the good stuff (living the life YOU want to live) sooner.
I'm doing this because I've experienced the power of the practices firsthand. They have changed my life, and my only regret is that I didn't learn them earlier.
Therefore, my goal is to get this book into as many hands as possible.
The second reason I'm selling this book at cost is because I know by transforming your life, you may become interested in other things I share that will help you grow even further.
That's all.
I know Turn the Page will change your life, and I can't wait for you to read it.

Meet The Man Resurrecting the Art of Reading...
Mel Jeffcoat loves all books, but old books hold a special place in his heart.
At the age of four he taught himself to read after being told that he had to wait until he went to school to learn. From that time it has been rare to find him without a book of some kind.
His voracious reading appetite soon outstripped the family book budget, so library discards and yard sale finds became the bedrock of his childhood reading.
These old books gave him a very different perspective on life from his peers.
Uncensored Grimm's fairy tales, Mark Twain, obscure 19th-century Danish fairy tales, and the stories of The Bobbsey Twins, The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew were the staples of his early literary sustenance.
Mel continues to explore old and obscure books as an adult. Now he invites other explorers to join him in discovering the treasures hidden in the past and bringing them forward into modern life.
