Book Description

March 19, 2009

The biggest problem we face in life is that we don't get what we want, and what we don't want we get plenty of. We think we know what kind of partner, job, friends, home and life we want, but rarely does anything manifest the way we expect it to. We keep waiting for that big insight that will show us how to change our lives, but we can't seem to coax it out of the dark.

Ignite the Genius Within works through a breakthrough combination, co-developed by the authors, of powerful words, iconic four-color images, and an audio download that you listen to through headphones that provide an experience of heightened self-awareness never before delivered in a book. The audio stimulates both sides of the brain to communicate with each other. This results in a waking dream state that, in combination with the images, enables those rare life-altering flashes of insight that seem to hit you out of the blue. Ignite the Genius Within will awaken your own creative genius so you won't have to wait long for the next epiphany.

The audio portion, produced by renowned creativity coach and trauma therapist Dr. David Grand, has its roots in a therapy pioneered by practitioners of EMDR (Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing), which first came to light in the 1980s as an effective treatment for Vietnam veterans and others suffering from symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Dr. Ranck is an accomplished EMDR therapist who has treated hundreds of 9/11 firefighters and volunteers and who, in her collaboration with noted author and journalist Nutter, realized that an innovative adaptation of this technique, combined with current scientific discoveries, could be used to maximize a person's mental, emotional, and creative potential. Ignite the Genius Within marks the first time this original technique, co-developed by the authors, has been made available outside a therapist's office.

5.0 out of 5 stars RadicalRenoir, May 18, 2009
This review is from: Ignite the Genius Within: Discover Your Full Potential (Hardcover)
This book is amazing--I've never seen anything else like it out there. I gave up on self-help books a while ago because they never really helped me solve any of my problems. But this book is totally different, and I decided to order it after I looked at it in a bookstore. The book comes with a free soundtrack, which is supposed to put you into a sort of dreaming state even though you're awake. I think it pretty much does that with me, and it's also really relaxing. The main point of the book is to have a personal experience, and figure things out about yourself that you didn't know before. Basically what I do is go through the book while I'm thinking about something that's bothering me. The book is full of pictures, so you're supposed to find one that pulls you in or induces some strong reaction. On the page with that picture there might be some question to think about or some instructions to follow. Then you close your eyes while you listen to the soundtrack, and sort of let your mind wander. Sometimes when I do this, I instantly figure out the solution to my problem. At first I didn't believe it, but it has happened a lot. Other times I have just let myself daydream and have gone on trips. Once I traveled out into the stars, and experienced myself as just a thought, which was awesome. It felt like I was out there for a long time, even though it was only a few minutes. When I came back, I had a different perspective on things. I carry this book around with me all the time. I have to be creative at work, so it's my new secret weapon. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A breakthrough book on unlocking your potential!, September 5, 2009
By 
How could a book that appears so simple and engaging, provide such powerful, immediate access to one's full potential? It seemed to good to be true - but I thought why not give it a try. Within five to ten minutes, following very minimal instructions, I found myself lost in an exercise for almost an hour which freed me from a persistent blockage to personal growth that I had carried with me all my life. I had been in therapy for 25 years, and done all kinds of exercises to lose this albatross that was dragging me down. It was gone in an hour using the simple technique described in the book! I know the book uses a principle involved in EMDR, but the beauty is I don't have to understand why or how it works, I only had to invest a little over an hour to have a huge breakthrough! Months later, I can honestly say I have not been in such a great space since my childhood. I am clear, focused and happy! Thank you Dr. Ranck for synthesizing the science and metaphysics that are the key to this technique, and making it so accessible for the average person. You did an awesome job!
