Genius Formula
About this book
Since the dawn of civilisation, the great genius minds in history have shared a number of common characteristics. Now, drawing on his 20-year study of genius and the workings of the human brain, Tony Buzan, author, lecturer and advisor to governments, business and the professions of the brain and learning and thinking skills, introduces "The Genius Formula". It's generally accepted that we use less than 1 per cent of our billions of brain cells. Just think how your life could change if you could increase that figure to 2 per cent or 5 per cent! Using the characteristics of all genius minds as the basis for his formula, Tony explains how you can improve your own mental capabilities by the application of a few simple principles. In this CD audio program, he explores the lives and achievements of 10 great genius names in history - men and women who have shaped and changed their worlds, and influenced the way we live today.In "The Genius Formula" you'll learn and develop the 10 characteristics of Genius: vision - a life goal, a concept for your future that overrides everything else in your life; commitment - persistence to reach your goal no matter how many times you fail; knowledge of your subject - you must have a detailed knowledge; mastermind groups - develop your own group of colleagues and mentors; positive attitude - how to look positively at life, making the best of existing situations; planning - how meticulous planning is essential to success; learning from your mistakes - how to 'bounce back' from your reverses and learn how to do things differently next time; creativity - how to break the mould of existing experiences to explore new boundaries; mental literacy - develop your knowledge and understanding of the way the brain functions and its behaviour patterns; energy - why 'action' is the key to everything ...and much more! There are also self-tests for measuring your overall 'Genius Quotient', your range of intelligence's and your traditional IQ.
