When Perception Reverses
Explore how beliefs, stories, and attention shape your experience. Discover new possibilities through Reality Experiments.
The World We Experience Is More Than What Happens Around Us
Most of us learned to believe that life happens to us and that the world around us determines what we feel inside. It's such a familiar way of seeing things that we rarely stop to question it.
But our beliefs, expectations, memories, and the meanings we give to events are participating in our experience all the time. Two people can encounter the same situation and live through very different inner worlds.
When we begin to recognize that participation, something interesting becomes possible. Instead of spending all our energy trying to rearrange what happens around us, we can become curious about what we're bringing to the experience ourselves.
That curiosity is where the reversal begins.
Discover Reality Experiments
Explore the extraordinary possibilities of ordinary life through 17 practical experiments in Everyday Awe & Wonder.
Printable experiment cards, complete instructions, and a companion Field Journal. Digital collection: $19.
No special beliefs required. Just a willingness to explore and discover what you notice for yourself.
The Book That Has No Story
The Department of Nothing to See Here has somehow managed to publish a book without a story. No plot, no villain, and apparently no one thought to ask where the ending went.
What you'll find instead are 49 unusual invitations to explore the curious things we think, imagine, and experience. Each case offers a little humor, something to try, and a question worth considering. There are no correct answers, and you can investigate the cases in whatever order you like.

The Person Behind the Experiments
I'm Todd Adams, the creator of When Perception Reverses and Reality Experiments.
This work grew from a curiosity about the everyday experiences we take for granted, the stories we build around them, and what becomes possible when we begin looking again.
My purpose isn't to hand you another set of beliefs. It's to offer practical experiences, questions, and opportunities to discover what is true for you.
