The book is based on research on memory and learning, focusing on techniques that strengthen brain functionality and exploit neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to adapt and change.

It also covers practical methods like spaced repetition, mnemonics, and other strategies to enhance memory retention.

Given that he has no formal qualifications in neuroscience or any related field you shouldn’t trust him. The author of the book posted the thread. Anyone offering to offer “actionable insights to fortify the brain against degenerative diseases and enhance cognitive performance” should have a prefix of “Dr.” with MD or PhD after their name, and peer reviewed experiments as evidence. He is a “certified IT project manager” and is calling his personal anecdotes “experiments.”
