The Einstein Factor [Abridged, Audiobook] [Audio CD]

Win Wenger (Author), Richard Poe (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2002

What did people like Einstein do to access the inherent genius of their minds? Mind development pioneer Dr. Win Wenger noticed a clear pattern. He discovered that geniuses are little more than ordinary people who have stumbled upon a technique for widening their channels of attention. Superior thinkers may be the result of mental conditioning rather than genetic superiority.

With The Einstein Factor, you can learn to condition your mind in the same way. Once you unleash the genius within, you can improve your performance in all aspects of mental ability, including memory, quickness, IQ, and learning capacity.

The Einstein Factor offers a breakthrough set of tools so you can gain access to a remarkable flow of inner perception. You'll discover how you can:

• Improve your memory
• Learn and absorb new information with ease
• Solve problems like a genius
• Induce a state of total creative absorption

From AudioFile

Don't listen to these tapes while driving; they're experiential and interactive, rather than informative. Win Wenger, a scholar of creativity and accelerated learning, leads listeners through guided visualizations and breathing exercises intended to increase intelligence. Wenger often suggests stopping the tapes to speak into another tape recorder or make notes. Music intended to make visualization easier plays on a portion of each tape. Wenger's folksy tone is easy to follow, and his confidence is reassuring. That's good, because he makes some extreme claims; can we all really become geniuses? If so, one would expect the language used herein to be clearer and better organized.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, bad reading, January 10, 2003

Between the two - book or recording, please choose the book! The materials are useful, provided you have both time and motivation to embark on a long course of self-development, with a lot of exercises, a lot of daily work.

The problem with this recording is, however, that it is read not by a professional reader, but by Dr. Wenger himself. He probably is a smart man, but not smart enough to understand that his voice is quite senile, lacks energy, his diction is blurred, with no persuasiveness, no impact on listener, very boring and totally non-convincing. I have no problems when youthful Tony Robbins reads his own materials recorded on tapes and CDs with his unmatched Passion, but I do have a problem with something as life-less and monotone, as the recording of this otherwise excellent course. Four stars for the book, only 2 stars for the recording.

I just finished listening to this audiobook, so I can't yet tell you whether or not the techniques will actually raise your IQ, but I can say that I immensely enjoyed the book, and I also enjoyed how the author read the book (in spite of what another reviewer wrote). I'm writing this to defend the author. I thought his voice was friendly and sufficiently animated. At one point, I even wondered if he was reading or talking from his memory because it sounded very natural, as though he was carrying on a conversation. Overall, the great ideas you'll get from this book will more than make up for any crazy, uber-enthusiastic, super-hyper voice that you may find with other audiobooks.

I think Dr. Wenger's information was awesome. There were so many ideas to put into practice for anyone wanting to get more connected with their creative self. I started to use some of this information and dreams and visions have been forthcoming nearly every night for 2 months. What is awesome is that before this information, I might have maybe one dream or vision every six months, which means only one that I remembered. But, with these techniques, they just pop you out of bed to write them down. I loved it. I used to think I wasn't very visual and that has now changed to I am extremely visual.
