About this listen
Radically simple experimental tools to help anyone tap into a high-energy brain state to fire up innovative potential and shape their lives with intention—by the founder of a Harvard biomedical engineering innovation lab.
In an age of convenience and information overload, it’s easy to go through the motions, pressured, distracted, and seeking instant gratification rather than harnessing our potential for meaningful and impactful lives. When we’re accustomed to a low energy brain state and lulled by the comfort zone it creates, it’s difficult to rouse ourselves to act with intention and create the lives we truly want to lead.
In LIT, Jeff Karp, Ph.D., professor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and biotech innovator, helps us look to nature as a vital source of humankind’s best wisdom, most inspired action, and greatest good.
Diagnosed with learning differences at a young age, he persisted through nearly insurmountable struggles with support from his mom in developing ways to achieve hyper-awareness and maximize decisions based on his curiosity, passion, creativity, and connection to nature. As a student at McGill University and at the University of Toronto, as a researcher at MIT, and as a professor at Harvard Medical School, he evolved these approaches into LIT (Life Ignition Tools)—and road-tested these tools daily in his own personal life and with his lab team to innovate medical discoveries inspired by the “problem solving” process they find throughout the natural world
LIT teaches us to:
- turn inward and connect with what is truly important to us
- turn outward to act on that, connecting with others and different ways of knowing
- question assumptions—break out of habitual thinking and other patterns to discover what really serves you best
- navigate multiple streams of sensory input and manage information overload
- recognize manipulative messaging that can throw us off course
- explore, experiment and discover fresh approaches to old challenges
- intercept routine patterns to actively think and decide versus just jumping in with habitual responses
LIT takes us off autopilot and helps us stay alert, present, and fully engaged in our lives.
Dr. Karp also shares insights from some of the world’s most accomplished people, including Nobel Prize winners, the founder of an Indigenous wellness center, a visionary photographer, a social justice activist, a five-time US memory champion, an Olympic medalist, a neurosurgeon who founded a center for compassion, and numerous professors, inventors, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and members of his laboratory—all creatives in their own ways.
Using Dr. Karp’s principles, anyone can redirect their lives with energy, focus, creativity, motivation, intention, and impact to create the lives they truly want to lead. Learning to be lit is the ultimate renewable energy and is accessible to everyone, anytime, wherever you are.

History often appears to consist of big gestures and dramatic shifts. But for every peace treaty signed, someone set the stage and provided the pen. As social secretary to the Clintons for eight years, and more recently as chief of protocol under President Obama, Capricia Penavic Marshall has not just borne witness to history, she facilitated it. For Marshall, diplomacy runs on the invisible gesture: the micro-moves that affect the macro-shifts. Facilitation is power, and more often than not, it is the key to effective diplomacy.

For innovation and leadership guru Hal Gregersen, the power of questions has always been clear - but it took some years for the follow-on question to hit him: If so much depends on fresh questions, shouldn’t we know more about how to arrive at them? That sent him on a research quest ultimately including more than 200 interviews with creative thinkers. Questions Are the Answer delivers the insights Gregersen gained about the conditions that give rise to catalytic questions - and breakthrough insights - and how anyone can create them.

In this audiobook, Rebekah Lyons walks you through her journey of releasing stress, anxiety, and worry to uncover the peace that comes from Jesus Christ. Have you bought into the lie? So many of us do. We measure our worth by what others think of us. We compare and strive, living our lives for the approval of others.

What is genius? The word evokes iconic figures like Einstein, Beethoven, Picasso, and Steve Jobs, whose cultural contributions have irreversibly shaped society. Yet Beethoven could not multiply. Picasso couldn’t pass a fourth grade math test. And Jobs left high school with a 2.65 GPA. The Hidden Habits of Genius explores the meaning of this contested term, and the unexpected motivations of those we have dubbed "genius" throughout history, from Charles Darwin and Marie Curie to Leonardo Da Vinci and Andy Warhol to Toni Morrison and Elon Musk.

As humans, we all need to belong. While modern social life can make even the best of us feel gawky, for roughly one in five of us, navigating its challenges is consistently overwhelming - an ongoing maze without an exit. Often unable to grasp social cues or master the skills and grace necessary for smooth interaction, we feel out of sync with those around us. Though individuals may recognize their awkward disposition, they rarely understand why they are like this.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

According to Tiffani Bova, this siloed focus on customer experience – without considering the impact on your staff—actually hinders growth in the long run. The most successful companies adopt an Experience Mindset that strengthens both employee experience (EX) and customer experience (CX) at the same time.

Dr. Lynn Kern Koegel has had vast experience researching Autism Spectrum Disorders—ASD—and working with autistic people of all ages. She has repeatedly witnessed firsthand evidence of great intelligence that hasn’t yet been nurtured or realized.

Message is great, audiobook is not the best way to read this
I found this book to be powerful. the messages that shared can help to change how one thinks about the world and how to interact with and within it.
I bought a used copy of thr book to see why where seemed to be random quotes that were in the middle of ideas.
In the text copy, there are diagrams and quotes. They are just read without pause as they are encountered in the text. This makes for a disconnected audiobook in my opinion. it was hard to follow the messages because of interruptions. The quotes and diagrams add to the text, but they create confusion when trying to listen.
it might have been helpful to say "a quote by.." instead of just reading the quote in the middle of the text.
I am finishing the audiobook with that in mind and plan to revisit with a text copy to take notes. As I said ,the messages and story are sound and helpful.

Do yourself a favor and read this book
An elegant, instructive, motivational, and meditative read. For far too long the endeavor of research has been industrialized, processed, and divorced from it's higher objectives. Jeff Karp beautifully outlines (through the LIT credo) why and how research must reconnect with nature-inspired mindfulness, curiosity, creativity, and purpose. In illustrating these points, the author does not spare himself from scrutiny and is candid about his own life experiences from a neurodivergent child, an ambitious workaholic professor, and a father and husband struggling to attain balance between career and family. The life lessons he learned are generously shared throughout the book.
Though this reads sometimes like a meditation, it also effectively motivates, outlines simple, practical strategies for fostering creativity, staying engaged, and navigating setback and success alike. In this book you will learn about how we can leverage our own neuroeconomics to ask grand questions and use bioinspiration to tackle them. Refreshingly he also discusses the role of spiritual intelligence and its too-often dismissed role in guiding the acquisition of knowledge.
Every first year graduate student should read this, as should any early stage investigator, or any scientist feeling dejected or losing sense of purpose. It inspires hope, optimism, and the truth that just each of us has a place on this planet, so too does everything else and we would do well to be mindful of that. True to form, I was left with questions; not ones that can be satisfied with answers, but ones that guide and provide bearings to an academic life well-examined.

Great Tools for my ADHD but...
Great tools for my ADHD but there are a good amount of thinking errors in the logical chains the author seeks to use to establish certain points. One example—the author seemingly dismisses conventional thinking, institutions, and the traditional as arbitrary. Continuimg with this flippant logic would he also just as quickly toss out the value of religion, western goverment, societal institutions? He loses a lot of credit very quickly from the outset, and yet I can see how one may be tempted to overweight the unconventional over the conventional having ADHD. This mistake negates from his valuing of the unconventional as this view is too in line now with the norms of post-modern society, so the author is unclear with his own views to be clear thinking in my view.

The writer barely had an idea of his own. He quoted so many times from other writers that I feel like I should be reading their books instead. 2 hours and 42 minutes and he never got anywhere near making a point.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
