Don Tolman

Imaginist, Dreamer,     

Performance Trainer

 

Don Tolman, is an author, public speaker, trainer, imaginist, entertainer and experimental/nutritional-eating researcher. (A brain-specific, powerful mouthful.) He has written 13 books on a variety of skill-specific mental functions and self-improvement topics. He has been a coach and mentor for key personnel with Xerox, General Motors, and Pitney Bowes corporations.

 

Don has spoken to more than 1,000 audiences in all 50 states and in 4 foreign countries. His media credits include more than 50 radio and TV talk show appearances per year. He has been a guest on the Donahue Show, Entertainment Tonight, ABC Talk Radio, Talk America , National Public Radio, California Star Cable and PBS, as well as many newspapers and magazines nationwide.

 

The late Earl Nightingale said, "If George Carlin and Albert Einstein had a son, it would be Don Tolman." TV talk show host Phil Donahue said, "Like what he says or not; it's people like Don Tolman who, in their own unique way, will impact social change." Don Tolman has addressed audiences on the same speaker-platform with Brian Tracy, Les Brown, Joe Montana, and Olympic gymnastic gold medallist Peter Vidmar. Don is a distinguished communications facilitator and vocabulary-enhancement trainer. He has studied in-depth in the areas of applied behavioral and cognitive science, as well as neurology, semiotics, operant conditioning, and the Gestalt Theorem. His real passion is creating applied-technique curriculums of accelerated academics for children, which includes nutritional eating, as well as arcane and esoteric approaches to enhancing mental capacities.

 

All of this has lead to his experimentation with nutritional eating and extended fasting for the purpose of understanding mental performance. In this regard, he fasted 90 days strictly on watermelon, sunshine and air, and 63 days on fresh-squeezed juices. Twice now, Don has fasted strictly on spring water for 40 days. In the fall of 1995, after 40 days on water alone, he drank one quart of fresh-squeezed grape juice and then ran a 26-mile marathon. This endeavor was documented, supervised, and filmed by the Hollywood film company Motion Media and the L.A. Film Factory. Don presents his company's message in an informational seminar format called The Wholefood Revolution. This mental infusion that is so eye-opening and entertaining that people who have experienced it first hand call it a "Complete Brain Event."
