New book promises to help you reach your full potential

Multi-award winning, niche London consultancy setup by banking whistle blower discloses “history’s biggest conspiracy” in a new non-fiction book that promises to ‘gift curious minds huge uplifting potential, unique information and sweet success'.

What’s the book about?

The only species on Earth known to be delimited from lines of longitude, we Humans alone can live or thrive literally anywhere, by changing our selves or making changes. But how do we do it, what makes us so special, and why?

Four years on from the global impacts and newsflow surrounding our Founders Project Speak Up Report – seminal events that led to our firms inception – we’re deilighted to announce the publishing of our first book – The Sciences of Change – in paperback, ebook, and audiobook.

For example, and even in our world of eight billion, those who create truly meaningful change stand out for their achievements and legacy. But how do they do it, and what defines success anyway?

We live in a cosmos of mysteries just waiting to be solved.

Embark on this exciting journey across space and time, and from a truly rare perspective, to uncover what makes people tick, as we explore Humanity's relationship with our imagination, each other, our world and the universe.

Pioneering a rare brand new industry at the forefront of advancing real scientific endeavour and true leadership - a 'Change Engine' - we attempt to define human identity for the first time with robust science. Along the way, we'll equip you with the answers to some of life's biggest questions, the solutions to many of its biggest challenges and even blow the lid on the biggest conspiracy in history. All to ensure your sweet success.

Full of uplifting potential, cracked mysteries, solved problems, life hacks, extraordinary revelations and breakthrough discoveries, it’s a book for the change makers, explorers, creators, science makers and true leaders. It contains everything you need to…

Reach your full potential

Why does this book matter?

A broad and ambitious work of non-fiction that blends popular science, true crime, philosophy, art, history, self-help, cultural anthropology, space and cosmology, this book offers something for everyone.

The purposeful product of 5,000 author hours over three years, plus years more primary research, it’s fully evidenced, hand illustrated and written to the highest scientific and publishing standards.

The first book designed and published by our group publishing house - Deilightful Media, its now Deilight Consulting provided all facilitating scientific breakthroughs, primary research, data analytics, cause and effect isolation and change plans. Elements which, like Project Speak Up before it, underpin our tangible, proven ability to globally drive change, save life and help others. The raft of ground-breaking discoveries, meaningful changes and world records it offers curious minds includes:

  • Telling the urgent, globally-critical, unpublished conclusions from Project Speak Up.

  • Scientifically defining Human identity for the first time in history. Unique ambition that required Deilight Consulting to make and connect over 130 breakthrough scientific discoveries – including the fully reasoned Theory of Everything, Secrets of the Human Brain and the Nature of Consciousness – surely giving it a reach to rival that of Dr Brian Cox’s Human Universe and Professor Richard Dawkins God Delusion.

  • Succinctly explores 24 academic subjects without jargon, to conclusively and robustly answer 25 of life’s biggest questions. Everything from the workings of your brain (and how to train yours to be more powerful) to our cosmos itself.

  • Gifts a definitive account of the complex workings of driving change, true leadership, potential, plus other never-before-scientifically-explained constructs such as money and hatred (including sexism, racism, homophobia etc.). Thus for the first time, clear and reasoned strategies on how to tackle them globally.

  • Provides an essential toolkit for overcoming all injustice, inequity workplace oppression (incl. pay inequity), empowering readers to drive any change imaginable, succeed at anything they choose to in life and reach their full potential.

  • Carries the unique potential to transform our world, ensure our species collective survival and deliver our individual sweet success.

  • Explains the workings of a Change Engine, proves why our pioneering sector is so urgently needed today, and what value it offers Humanity.

  • Spreads uncomfortable truths, including blowing the lid on the biggest conspiracy in history. Truths no publishing house, academic institution or large corporate globally would dare publish or even just fund. Fortunately…

We see things differently

Who’s the author?

An international career investment banker of 14 years, our Founder Ian Clarke, 39, isn't your typical financier. Racially, sexually and gender non-binary, he is today a speaker, scientist, entrepreneur, author and true leader of the Deilightful Group.

London born but spiritually a New Yorker (having lived there 2017-2021), he's worked across two continents and all lines of business in financial services. Yet he's also a certified therapist, reverend and psychologist with two degrees, 14 awards for excellence and a penchant for travel, karaoke, computer games, humanism, exploration, Star Trek, officiating weddings and driving change.

Through a genuine love of people, he also holds at least ten world records helping others thrive. Such as in 2021 delivering the first black female board appointment in investment banking's 400-year history, adding 'whistleblower' to his many labels.

Today, he leads the Deilightful Group - a 'Change Engine' that's pioneering a rare, brand-new industry at the forefront of advancing scientific endeavour, true leadership and driving meaningful positive change on the world stage.

In this book, he thoughtfully, purposefully and meticulously - yet with courageously open fragility, authenticity and good humour - reveals the many secrets and discoveries garnered from his extraordinary experiences. Unique knowledge on Earth and across history, intended to delimit your potential for driving truly meaningful change and achieving sweet success.

Surviving life often requires us all to (a) know a bit of everything, and (b) regularly change our goals, skills, knowledge and focus tasks. Like any being, our firm can be a consumer, manufacturer, auditor, supplier, regulator, think tank, consultant, opposition or ally. People change all the time, so why not firms too? After all, science, philosophy and complex interconnected global ‘Wicked Problems’ don’t fit into fixed rigid boxes. Multidisciplinary as they are - like every aspect of reality and real life - they transcend labels. To understand them, so must we.

A ‘consultancy’ of sorts, but one underpinned by niche capabilities and breakthrough science, our unique firm is unlike any other on Earth or in history.

Some sell products, we fulfill hopes and dreams. Some target difference, we value uniqueness. Some deliver services, we create change. Some use words, we take action. Some blame others. We blame hatred. Some have egos, we espouse confidence. Some plead ignorance, we exhibit wisdom. Some have a perspective, we see everything. Some are unconsciously biased, we are fully conscious. Some help themselves, we help others first

Pioneering a rare new sector - a ‘Change Engine’ - in theory this model lets us perform any task, solve any problem, answer any question or create anything imaginable.

Humanity’s first example of a ‘Clarketech’ industry, a concept defined by Arthur C Clarke, (i) we can literally do anything, which (ii) seems to some almost like magic.

Change. It starts with us. Looking to make your changes truly meaningful?

Who are Deilight Consulting?

Why the book?

It seems no one believes we could possibly achieve all this. None of the 70 universities we sought to partner with would so much as speak to us. So instead we’re appealing directly to readers, in the hopes some can be curious, keep an open mind, seek out new knowledge and success, take a look then form their own opinion on our credibility and that of our research.

Prices range from ~£1 (eBook) to £20 (Paperback) with the Audiobook and Special Extended Edition out shortly.

Conclusive Answers: Do we live in a simulation?

Do we live in a simulation? Did god create us in seven days? Or was it all just a 'Big Bang'? With these ludicrous questions festering for eons thus preventing change by propagating ignorance and complacency, we call 'Dei Time' by bringing you conclusive answers backed by full proof and scientific evidence. A ‘no’ or a ‘yes’ from a wise human is infinitely better than infinite untestable ‘maybes’ from a bunch of science fakers.
