Included here are four of his key works, set in different times and places, but sharing the same fundamental motifs - the universality of human experience and our search for life's meaning.

Telepathic powers exist in all of us, they are part of the natural way we communicate with each other. Our brain beats at 14 cycles per second; the beta frequency. Very occasionally it beats between 7 and 14 cycles per second. This frequency is known as alpha frequency. Alpha is the key to becoming telepathic.

Most performance and mindset books focus on doing more: working harder, optimizing habits, or pushing through resistance. From Fear to Flow takes a different approach. The answer isn’t adding more or trying harder; it’s removing what’s in the way. For many high achievers, the real driver of their striving is a fearful and persistent voice shaped over time: the ego. Not arrogance or bravado, but a protective voice built to shield us from pain and failure.

Despite all the praise and awards, Wise could easily be called one of Hollywood's always working blue-collar directors. He helmed everything from B movies to Academy Award-winning blockbusters, all while managing to live a quiet life amid the glitz, glamour, and scandal of Tinsel Town. How this soft-spoken man managed to tame mega-stars' egos while directing film classics remains a mystery.
