Far Transfer

Far Transfer is a prescriptive non-fiction book built on a 6-Domain cognitive architecture: Attention, Knowledge, Skill, Reasoning, Metacognition, and Execution. It answers a practical question most learning books avoid - how do you train your brain so that what you learn in one context actually transfers to real-world performance?

The Framework

Drawing on cognitive science, neuroscience, and two decades of professional coaching, Far Transfer provides 14 actionable protocols that move readers from passive consumption to active mastery. Each protocol is grounded in research (Vosoughi 2018, Stanford HAI, Pew 2024) and tested through real client stories.

Companion App: Honed

The digital companion to this book is Honed - a compression-based learning app that runs the math so you can focus on the architecture. Honed implements all 14 protocols from the book: spaced retrieval, compression cards, Mamba Blocks (focus timers), error logging, IF-THEN rules, scramble mode, and a 30-day progressive onboarding journey.
