Finally—a book that describes how I feel . . . and I’ll bet it describes exactly how you feel, too. But don’t take my word for it, let your natural genius explore.
Most people misinterpret what it means to be a genius. They attribute it to incomprehensible intellectual prowess or a complex understanding of even more complex principles.
But it isn’t . . . except in the case of those people whose genius is demonstrated in that fashion. Their genius is uniquely theirs, and yours is uniquely yours. Chances are that you’ve never allowed yourself to consider the fact that you might be a genius already.
But you are.
I’ve never felt more understood or at home with myself than I did when I read Yes, You Are a Genius, and I never felt more complete or armed with tools to harness my true genius than when I finished it.
In our over-communicated world, our genius is often blocked or we turn our thinking over to the television, the internet or the advertisers, and we stop responding to our own genius. We forget who we are, who we want to be and who we can be. And when we do, we feel (at first) vaguely unfulfilled; but over time we become painfully aware that we are not achieving our true potential, and then frustration sets in.
Yes, You Are a Genius shows you how to get your life (genius) back and how to express your genius. It helps you break through old blocks that have kept you from reconnecting with your genius.
I love the quote that Otto and Susanna chose from Buckminster Fuller: “All children are born geniuses; 9,999 out of 10,000 are swiftly, inadvertently de-genius-ized by grown ups.” Nearly all of us are victims of that one single reality.
Admit it: you are too. I know for many years I was.
But, as Otto and Susanna clearly point out, your genius didn’t go away. Your skill and willingness to connect with it was diminished, but in just a few pages of the book you’ll reconnect . . . powerfully.
There is power in this book. And genius. It unlocks your brain quickly and it gives you permission to express yourself.
And once you unlock your genius, look out! The ideas, solutions, creations and energy are almost overwhelming.
And it doesn’t matter how well or how poorly you did in school.
You are still a genius with ideas and solutions waiting to be tapped.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t think you are creative or smart . . . your genius gene discovers what it needs to achieve.
If you’ve ever felt like something is missing, that there must be more, you need to turn off the TV, tune out the distractions around you and devour this book. Your starving genius will be satiated and you’ll step onto the path to your true calling.
If you were one of the 9,999 de-genius-ized people Buckminster Fuller talked about, this is your opportunity to shake off the shackles of self-imposed beliefs, societal expectations, and behavior patterns and explore your natural genius.
Don’t settle for less than you were designed to achieve. Your genius is your promise and your future. Give everyone in the world what they’ve got coming and what you owe them . . . the very best of you.
I’m enlivened by my exploration, and Yes, You Are a Genius reconnected me with my path.
Will you join me?
I look forward to our journey.
