5.0 out of 5 stars THE HIDDEN INTELLIGENCE, June 14, 2000

By	Sanford M. Lottor (USA) - See all my reviews

After reading THE HIDDEN INTELLIGENCE I tried some of the techniques in idea generation and actually came up with some innovations for my own business. However a more detailed summary of the book's contents is necessary.

There are chapters on the Myers Briggs and other similar instruments which reveal how your basic thinking style can work to your best advantage, or how in some cases it can work against you. Also, there are chapters that offer many different kinds of techniques for enhancing your creative problem solving ability. You will find out how professional ideation consultants use thes techniques to generate ideas with FORTUNE 100 clients. Also you will learn how companies such as 3M, Disney and IDEO generate new product concepts and ideas. And you will discover how you can use some tried and true methods for tapping into your own intuition, including how to program your dreams to reveal insights. There are several exercises included in the book to be used to stimulate ideas in a group setting.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in learning how to motivate innovative thinking or generating new ideas in the workplace. But for me, it was an important guide to stimulating my own creativity and intuition far more than I had realized was possible. If you are interested in increasing the power of your mind THE HIDDEN INTELLIGENCE is an excellent "how to do it" guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hidden Intelligence, June 27, 2000

By	Aubrey I. Finn (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

When I completed The Hidden Intelligence, I had grasped the key for coming up with great ideas. It should be required reading for those interested in getting their own creativity to flow like a mighty stream. Learning to access my intuition was an eye opener. I wish I had read the book years ago.
