I’m J. Andrew Burkey, a curious, obsessive researcher who’s spent years digging into history, psychology, and cutting-edge science to understand how the world works. I’ll admit, I live with scopophobia—a fear of being watched and of posting pictures of myself online—so you won’t find me on stage giving speeches. I’m much more at home writing behind the scenes, connecting with readers online, or diving headfirst into my next research rabbit hole.

My latest release, Unlock Your Hippocampus: Deep in Your Brain Lies the Seahorse-Shaped Secret to Insane Memory, Rapid Learning, and Razor-Sharp Focus, is available now on Kindle. In this book, I explore how the hippocampus—a tiny, seahorse-shaped powerhouse deep inside your brain—can be trained, protected, and optimized to sharpen memory, accelerate learning, and boost focus in everyday life.

I’ve also written We’re Full of Plastic (available on Amazon as a Kindle eBook, paperback, and audiobook), which dives into one of the least talked about health crises of our time: microplastics in our blood, brains, and unborn children. It’s not just an exposé—it’s a wake-up call backed by real science, showing how these invisible invaders are slipping into our food, water, air, and bodies daily.

Over the years, I’ve published a wide range of books, from SWARM: Drones Attack America and The Psychology of Obedience – Why We Comply, to Flying Syringes and The Empowered Path. Whether I’m writing thrillers or nonfiction, my goal is always the same—to blend gripping storytelling with insights that make people stop, think, and see the world differently.

When I’m not writing, I’m digging into personal growth, blending timeless wisdom with modern strategies to help people break free from limitations and create a better future. I’ve spent years learning from voices like Tony Robbins and Jim Rohn, and I bring that same energy and curiosity to everything I write.

I’m already exploring ideas for my next projects—and if you’ve got thoughts, feedback, or questions, I’d love to hear them.
