5.0 out of 5 stars Focus on Using Your Native Intelligence, Wit, & Intuition

2.0 out of 5 stars Save your money
The vague and insultingly simplistic ideas on these cards inspire the opposite of creativity. Slick packaging makes for a pretty product, but the substance is not worthwhile; I'm returning mine. Maisel has a lot of worthwhile writing -- check out his _Fearless Creating_ if you haven't already -- but give this gimmick a miss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Focus on Using Your Native Intelligence, Wit, & Intuition, October 15, 2004
This review is from: Everyday Smart: 30 Ways to Spark Your Inner Genius (Little Everyday Deck) (Cards)
After a couple of weeks of using the "Everyday Creative" set of cards, I moved on to "Everyday Smart: 30 Ways to Spark Your Inner Genius," which contains thirty different ways to prompt one's inner genius. Author Eric Maisel encourages people to "manifest your native intelligence, your intuitive abilities, and your critical thinking skills." Looking at one of these cards each day over a period of a month was a real eye-opener. Each card concentrates upon one specific area ("Grow smart by strategizing," "Grow smart by inviting the elegant solution," etc.), and the reader is invited to think about ways to be smart and to use intelligence, wit, and intuition.

By turns playful and serious, the cards are exactly what Maisel bills them to be: evocative, beautiful, and useful. I also found that they serve as excellent affirmations for the day. I highly recommend this kit for anyone focusing on art, writing, politics-or any other topic or subject that requires creativity, originality, or problem-solving. ~Lori L.
