This book describes itself as a proven new method for increasing your intelligence. There have certainly been many years of experimentation, research and teaching behind the methods presented. If you like learning, then you'll probably love a book about learning, and this is no disappointment: plenty of practical techniques to try out and a guarantee, I would say, that even if your intelligence doesn't change, your intuition will definitely have improved for practising these methods.
Central to the book is the technique of "image streaming". The main idea behind this is that we all have a constant stream of images flowing out from our subconscious minds, but traditional education and upbringing has generally taught us to screen out these images. So successful has our screening become, many of us believe that we don't have such images at all, and cannot "visualise" with eyes closed. The authors however reassure us that everybody has these images. Image streaming is the way to kick-start and develop our awareness of them. One particularly effective part of this technique is to use your own voice as a kind of feedback loop to reinforce and solidify the process of visualisation. I was surprised at how well a rich, sensory, and vocal description added to the vividness of my images.
Having laid the foundations with this basic technique, it can them be put to practical use is all sorts of ways: re-examining your own past, solving problems, answering questions intuitively for yourself and others. The research behind the book shows in the scientific theorising behind these and other techniques although, very often, the authors have to conclude that they don't really know why these intuitive techniques work; they just do!
There are plenty more goodies to try too: borrowing identities from your greatest heroes, modelling musical genius, photoreading at lightening speed, freenoting, achieving flow, and boosting brain power through oxygenation.
This book has an upbeat energetic style, which is probably a benefit of being co-written. It gave me a lot of new ideas, and I feel confident that the benefits will continue well beyond the simple enjoyment of reading.
(From quoting John A Storey, USA)

From Publisher
New research suggests that the superior achievements of famous thinkers may have been more the result of mental conditioning than genetic superiority. Now you can learn to condition your mind in the same way and improve your performance in virtually all aspects of mental ability, including memory, quickness, IQ, and learning capacity.
Intelligence pioneer Dr. Win Wenger has identified the tools you need to reach greater levels of sharpness, insight, and overall intelligence. Using Wenger’s Image Streaming technique, you learn to bypass inhibitions and access the hypernormal capabilities hidden in your own subconscious.
Discover how you can:
- Improve your memory
- Read faster and learn more quickly
- Solve problems like a genius
- Score higher on tests
- Build self-esteem
- Induce a state of total creative absorption
- Access powerful subconscious insights through visualization

The Einstein Factor liberates mental abilities you didn’t know you had. I tried the techniques in the book and they paid off instantly. It’s almost scary." |

Realizing that this is a science that is in its infancy I am amazed at the results I've gotten from using this book. I haven't even been trying incrediably hard (though I'm now motivated to try much harder) and yet I've already learned techniques to solve puzzles and other things that I used to dread. A couple of notes: this book is good BUT you will get 1000% more out of it if you do the follow extra work.
A) Buy, read, re-read, and do the exercises in Learning How to Draw on the Right Side of the Brain. Image Streaming and Non-Verbal right sided thinking are almost the same thing. This book helps a lot!
B) Learn how to meditate. You don't have to become a guru just practice it a little bit. Image Streaming is mediation.
C) Learn a little bit about self-hypnosis. Just enough to put yourself in a trance should be enough so you'll know what it feels like and know how to get into that state without much effort.
D) Listen to, love, and savor classical/instrumental music. George Winston, Bach, Mozart, you name it.
I am an academic failure but because of this book and the other steps listed above I'm now going back to college to finish my undergrad degree and get a Ph.D in computation congnitive science. I've found that 99% of my "academic" troubles were based on negative thoughts and stuff that other people put in my head (ohh that (pick subject) is too hard, your smart but not that smart, etc.). 99.9% of your "mental" limitations are caused by this negative programming. Get rid of it and (assuming you don't suffer from physical brain damage) you will be able to join Mensa. I know, I went from having an IQ of 120 to having 131 according to eMode.com. |

Inside each of us is an Einstein waiting to get out, the only problem is how to release this massive potential. Win Wegner and Richard Poe have given the perfect book to help you accomplish once was once an impossible task.
Follow along in the 300 pages and you'll find yourself looking at your potential in a whole knew way. What this book gives you is the tools, from the image streaming to self-reinforcement to instant replay to the eight steps of sound interpretation, you have all the tools you'll need.
Both authors have taken the complex and simplified each step of the process. You will have to practice each step in order to get better, but the mystery is now over. The book has well written and well researched directives and the authors make it easy to follow along.
Also included in this book is the Photoreading whole mind system, I have reviewed that book as well. This is a highly effective technique for liberating your speed-reading potential. Overall this book can and should help everyone. , you'll be hard pressed to find a better method - well done!
