Synopsis

What do you and Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Aristotle, and Immanuel Kant all have in common? . . . Mind Magic!

John Laurence Miller, Ph.D., who studied with Piaget, shows readers how to apply the ideas of this revolutionary thinker’s work. Mind Magic demonstrates how you can understand how your own mind naturally works and how to use that knowledge to build intelligence.
