Book Becoming Supergenius  Part II

Download or read book Becoming Supergenius Part II written by Lincoln Stoller and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming Supergenius has grown on the scorched earth that is the current state of learning, teaching, and education. This is no small matter. I asked thirty-five people, with over 1,600 years of accumulated experience, how and why they learned. From their answers I resolved 328 learning secrets that are part of any person's journey to find their full potential. Learning requires us to explore where our thinking comes from. Thinking is a complicated process. There is truth to every thought and some context in which every thought makes sense. We can't examine every idea, as many are unimportant, but we don't want to focus only on the important few. We need alternatives. We need directions. Break the process down. There are places we learn in, people we learn from, situations we are subjected to, and resources we learn with. These books are a map through this chaos of possibilities. Each of the 328 learning secrets open a world of its own. Some of these will nourish you, some may poison you, and others can heal you. They are spices and medicines. Don't use them all at once. These secrets don't lead to paradise, they are training in the skills of the hero's journey. They are preparation for the real world, which is where you must go to learn, not to hallowed and protected halls. These books map the territory of the real world. They tells you how to rig and trim your sails. No matter how glorious or miserable you feel about your journey, it's your journey, and you were made for it. The object is not happiness, it's more than that. The first volume, The Outer World, addresses the environment in which we find ourselves. We consider the attitudes people have about learning, the actors and agents we encounter in our attempts to learn, where we find these people, and how they behave. These are the practical issues. The second volume, The Inner World, considers the how, what, and why of our inner thoughts and feelings. The goal is to understand ourselves. The focus is on what we're doing, how we think, and why. We associate genius with aptitude, skill, intelligence, and success. I've invented the term "supergenius" to refer to something deeper. If geniuses blaze the trails we follow, supergeniuses blaze trails that we're not yet ready to. Genius stands out; supergenius often does not. The supergenius is someone who not only sees all sides, but also conceives of there being no side, the reality of the ambiguous, and even in this finds direction. Supergeniuses are inspired.

Book excerpt: Everyone wants a happy life but not everybody is willing to do what it takes to get there. Many people who have been successful tell others to do the work or they often say "you need the right mindset" but no one tells you how to create that right mindset. After many years of training as an individual and as a scientist, i thought everybody needed a chance or a better approach before going through the life of an entrepreneur to create many streams of income. To create many streams of income you need to know what to do with yourself as a product and not only a niche, especially where you use other people products. Success is a journey and in this book you will learn how to define your destiny in less than seven words to avoid confusion in your brain and help you create an incomparable business. This will help you save time and money.You will not have to worry about any competition nor any risk of failure. It will also prepare you for the future that awaits you. Anyone can become a genius and this depends only on you. Many people want the peace and money, but very few are readyto give peace and make the money. Consumption and production and definitively two diferent things and that is why you have to go through this journey to secure you position in the society you will choose. In this book you will find numerous schemes that have the aim to transform your brain and inflict in it the right mindset or concepts to get every job done by the simple activation of your brain. The activation of your brain is the right mindset and it takes you away from your comfort zone automatically. You will not need to be convinced from the moment you discover what your brain is capable of doing. When i discovered my destiny i created more that 60 online training videos in one month, i wrote sixteen relevant books of great content in 4 months while doing three jobs of roughly 60 hours a week. You will say this is insane, but i will tell you that i did it with pleasure and i can't stop today because it gets me more and more excited. I discovered energy and i know who i am and who you are. All you have to do is learn how to use your energy, how to create and grow your potential, and how not to waste it. You already have everything you need, but you need to know how to start and where to start. This is where and how you should start, by defining your destiny in less than seven words, increase your reading and memory capicities to accelerate your education, grow your self esteem to know who you are and how to increase your potential, increase your mental equilibrium to control or react positively and correctly to control the world around you, and increase you patience and courage to overcome every difficulty automatically before getting seriously into any business that you didn't create.. However, remember that we learn from errors and whatever error you make you need to thank the universe. You may have material riches but it takes a second to lose everything. If you consider your brain the most important instrument in your world, you can have and reproduce everything if you lose your material belongings. You can transform your brain into a learning machine with lots of ease. This is where your future starts and continues. Free your mind and fill it with love as you go on through this journey of success.Before you continue reading this book, note that there are rules in this game. The first rule is that there is no rule because you are the rule and you get just what you think or say. So if you are negative athat is all you willl get. If you think and say only positive things, even if you do not understand, thank the universe and forgive yourself for not understanding. You have more that one milion things happening around you and you get to notice not less that twenty things at a time and this keeps you unnecessarily worried. Remain excited althrough these steps and apply what you learn. No action no results, more actions more results.

Book Operating Manual for Enlightenment

Download or read book Operating Manual for Enlightenment written by Lincoln Stoller and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not offering enlightenment, it's describing it. The enlightened mind unites intellect and emotion despite their separation being built into the structure of our brains. This split appears in the mythic division between our lower and higher natures, and the separation of mind and body. Intellect and emotion function in concert. As color and shape are to vision, one complements the other. When fully integrated, they cannot be taken apart. The topics in the book's first half lean toward the intellectual. The second half looks at the division from the emotional side. What we are separating with one hand, we are putting together with the other. Struggle: We naturally consider our problems as different from ourselves. We see them in our environment, and rely on our skills and insights to resolve them. Our intellectual solutions address one aspect of these problems, while our emotions address another. Are these problems to be solved, or processes to be understood? What should we do if our problems are inside us? Mind: Your state determines your readiness, arousal, and self-reflection. Your state of mind orients your thinking, how you can feel about yourself, and who you re able to be. Equally important are thoughts you’re not likely to have,or cannot have at all. This book is about the states of mind that support focus, awareness, thoughts, and feelings. It s is not a guide to solving problems, it s an explanation of how you see. State: With our state of mind, we gather our thoughts and focus our attention. Focus without a state is like a telescope with no one to look through it. In order to focus, first take full responsibility for all you think and feel. The properties of your state determine what you re capable of. One state of mind is not enough because you cannot understand the world from one point of view. Your future is determined by your range of states of mind. Wisdom: Alternate states of mind support understandings we don t have. They may be logical, emotional, spiritual, or evanescent. They could involve knowledge spread across generations so that no one generation has the complete picture. We might call them prophetic, inspired, psychedelic, or delusional. Larger states of mind develop with experience, but they re not defined by the facts they hold. One needs a state of mind that can accommodate contradictions without generating conflict. Instantaneous Enlightenment: Change does not happen instantly, but epiphanies feel instantaneous. The reason is simple: a new state is a whole rearrangement of one’s previous conception. There are no halfway states to total rearrangement. Many pieces need to fall into place before we can make ourselves into something new. We are at a watershed moment in our understanding of the mind, after which psychology will change. Instead of focusing on thoughts and behavior, we are coming to understand that what s important is what you can think and how you can behave. The Operating Manual is an intellectual, emotional, and neurological road map to the integration you don’t yet have. REVIEWS and WORDS of PRAISE What a pleasure to see the wry wit and humor of an old friend focused on that which we all take for granted: our deep complex 'hard problem' of consciousness. It is not a linear treatise, but a winding through the mind’s labyrinthine pathways to archetypal insights. What a pleasant journey! --Jay Gunkelman, Chief Science Officer of Brain Science International and NeuroNet Neuroscience Centers. Past president of the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research, and the Biofeedback Society of California I strongly recommend Operating Manual for Enlightenment. It is a true guide to empowering and liberating yourself, written in common language. The pages are full of gems for readers of all ages and interests. --Adrian Bejan, Distinguished Professor of Engineering, author of Freedom and Evolution, and The Physics of Life: The Evolution of Everything Like Castaneda's The Teachings of Don Juan, Lincoln's Operating Manual is an essential "life reference"... wherever, whenever or whoever slips into these fields of care and concern, or dives into the waves of the vast ocean of life. These visions from the "oh so human minds" are worthy of the effort ~!~ Thank you, inspired ~!~ --Armand Huet de Grenier, psychotherapist, adult and youth special educator, organization business consultant, Fellow of the Clinical Hypnosis Society of Nova Scotia, and past president of the Mahone Bay Buddhist Meditation Centre. Carrier of the of the Eagle Staff at the Gesgapegiag Mi'kmaq SunDance in Maria, Quebec Dr. Lincoln Stoller thinks outside the box of current thoughts and existing practices, beyond the dross of what’s taught to find the potential we’ve been told to keep hidden. Are you a conformist or a rebel? Do you do what you're told or go for the gold ring? Go over the breach to lead future generations into the world! Thank you, Dr. Stoller. --Tony Hunt, Host of Educational Triage Podcast, Alternative Ed Director and Developer A cornucopia of facts, thoughts, and ideas about what it is to be us. Such a pleasure to read!” — Allan Leslie Combs, Professor of Consciousness Studies, author of The Radiance of ¬Being, and Consciousness Explained Better (“The finest book on consciousness written in modern times, bar none.) --Ken Wilber Lincoln's work goes to places few have gone before. Drawing on dozens of fields, he creates a super-structure of everything that inhabits your body and mind. I consider him a true sage, sharp thinker, and skillful therapist. For the first time in my life I’m grasping what it feels like to be integrated. Whole with myself. --Richard Guenther, MSc, IT Manager, Business Analyst ’ve gained so many connections into the crazy day I've had, allowing me a bigger space to process all the voices, personalities, and opinions that came up. --Charlene Bradbury, speech therapist Through carefully crafted examples and exercises, the author illustrates how these elements converge, enhancing our understanding of such a complex subject. An enriching journey of insights on enlightenment, highlighting the interconnectedness of intellect and emotion, experience and being, with clear and brilliant exposition. --Dr. Rubén Pérez-Elvira, Neuropsychologist Enlightenment is a complex concept in these dark times. Or is it? Lincoln Stoller has a knack for deriving clarity from complexity without being verbose. He shines his 'black light' of enlightenment on the 'crime scene' of contemporary consciousness, finding clues to the nature of humanity where others see only stains. An enjoyable, insightful read. --Captain Ben "Doc” Askin", author and podcast host of Anti-Hero’s Journey

Book excerpt: Marty Neumeier, acclaimed author of The Brand Gap and other books on business creativity, has compressed decades of practical experience into The 46 Rules of Genius--46 glittering gems that will light students path to creative brilliance. This is an essential handbook for students in graphic design, branding, marketing, business, Journalism and writing courses, and more. The rules in this book are timeless. None of them are new, yet they can help students create something new. Michelangelo didn't invent the hammer and chisel, but by using these tools he sculpted the Pietá. And just as you can't shape a block of marble with your bare hands, you can't shape ideas with your bare mind. You need rules. Rules are the tools of genius. Use them when they help, put them aside when they don't. Most creative people are focused on their projects, and reading a long book is a luxury they can ill afford. So here's a slim volume with bite-size advice. Students can reach into it randomly, underline its salient points, and return to its rules as needed. Neumeier starts with advice on strategy--or how to get the right idea. He continues with practical tips on execution--how to get the idea right. From there, he moves on to building creative skills over time, and finally to putting your brilliance to work in the larger world.

Download or read book The Genius Checklist written by Dean Keith Simonton and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What it takes to be a genius: nine essential and contradictory ingredients. What does it take to be a genius? A high score on an IQ test? Brilliant physicist Richard Feynman's IQ was too low for membership in Mensa. Suffering from varying degrees of mental illness? Creativity is often considered a marker of mental health. Be a child prodigy like Mozart, or a later bloomer like Beethoven? Die tragically young, like Keats, or live to a ripe old age like Goethe? In The Genius Checklist, Dean Keith Simonton examines the key factors in creative genius and finds that they are more than a little contradictory. Simonton, who has studied creativity and genius for more than four decades, draws on both scientific research and stories from the lives of famous creative geniuses that range from Isaac Newton to Vincent van Gogh to Virginia Woolf. He explains the origin of IQ tests and the art of estimating the IQ of long-dead historical figures (John Stuart Mill: 200; Charles Darwin: 160). He compares IQ scores with achieved eminence as measures of genius, and he draws a distinction between artistic and scientific genius. He rules out birth order as a determining factor (in the James family alone, three geniuses at three different birth-order positions: William James, firs-tborn; Henry James, second born; Alice James, born fifth and last); considers Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hour rule; and describes how the “lone” genius gets enmeshed in social networks. Genius, Simonton explains, operates in ways so subtle that they seem contradictory. Genius is born and made, the domain of child prodigies and their elders. Simonton's checklist gives us a new, integrative way to understand geniuses—and perhaps even to nurture your own genius!

Book excerpt: There is in man, a greater Self, that transcends the finite self of the sense-man, even as the mountain towers above the plain. There is a power lying hidden in man, by the use of which he can rise to higher and better things. "The Super Genius" will help men and women to bring their inward powers of mind and spirit into expression, wisely and in harmony with universal law; to build up character, and to find within themselves that wondrous Self, which is their real self, and which, when found, reveals to them that they are literally and truly sons of God and daughters of the Most High. "The Super Genius" will definitely help many to come into harmony with life's law and purpose and thus avoid much needless suffering: to find the Greater Self within, which discovery brings with it a realization of absolute security: to bring into expression and wisely use their inner spiritual and mental forces and thus enter a life of overcoming and almost boundless power.

Book The Hidden Habits of Genius

Download or read book The Hidden Habits of Genius written by Craig Wright and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An unusually engaging book on the forces that fuel originality across fields.” --Adam Grant Looking at the 14 key traits of genius, from curiosity to creative maladjustment to obsession, Professor Craig Wright, creator of Yale University's popular “Genius Course,” explores what we can learn from brilliant minds that have changed the world. Einstein. Beethoven. Picasso. Jobs. The word genius evokes these iconic figures, whose cultural contributions have irreversibly shaped society. Yet Beethoven could not multiply. Picasso couldn’t pass a 4th grade math test. And Jobs left high school with a 2.65 GPA. What does this say about our metrics for measuring success and achievement today? Why do we teach children to behave and play by the rules, when the transformative geniuses of Western culture have done just the opposite? And what is genius, really? Professor Craig Wright, creator of Yale University’s popular “Genius Course,” has devoted more than two decades to exploring these questions and probing the nature of this term, which is deeply embedded in our culture. In The Hidden Habits of Genius, he reveals what we can learn from the lives of those we have dubbed “geniuses,” past and present. Examining the lives of transformative individuals ranging from Charles Darwin and Marie Curie to Leonardo Da Vinci and Andy Warhol to Toni Morrison and Elon Musk, Wright identifies more than a dozen drivers of genius—characteristics and patterns of behavior common to great minds throughout history. He argues that genius is about more than intellect and work ethic—it is far more complex—and that the famed “eureka” moment is a Hollywood fiction. Brilliant insights that change the world are never sudden, but rather, they are the result of unique modes of thinking and lengthy gestation. Most importantly, the habits of mind that produce great thinking and discovery can be actively learned and cultivated, and Wright shows us how. This book won't make you a genius. But embracing the hidden habits of these transformative individuals will make you more strategic, creative, and successful, and, ultimately, happier.
