In Mind Magic, a former Piaget student builds upon his teacher's pioneering work to offer you a program for unleashing the power of your mind. The key, according to John Miller, is learning "mind consciousness," or how one thinks best. Combining problem-solving and learning techniques from a variety of fields, including psychology, education, and computer science, he shows you how to observe your mind at work and use that knowledge to: Dramatically enhance the three aspects of intelligence crucial in the modern world: adaptability, creativity, and information management Make logic and emotion work together Gain the confidence needed to aim for higher intellectual achievement
