Douglas Dean was a breakthrough researcher in "extra-sensory phenomena." He utilized anecdotal stories - e.g. ordinary individuals who became millionaires - with material gained through a random-number generator to establish that the psychic phenomenon does exist and can be verified. Douglas Dean et al. document in this volume a landmark research project conducted at Newark College of Engineering over the course of a decade. Professor John Mihalasky and Douglas Dean demonstrate that the executives whose companies increase profits the most, score far higher than average on precognition tests. Professor Mihalasky gained great insight into things that enhance, and things that inhibit, intuition. Here, he recounts results from scientifically-controlled experiments measuring the precognitive and telepathic skills of managers and executives. Because of the straight-forward and unassailable science, the inevitable conclusions, and the guiding lights who researched and wrote it, this is considered one of the best and most rare books in the field. Dean and Mihalasky set out to measure and assess the frequency and results of intuitive experiences among key executives and managers of large, multinational corporations. With both verified experiences from executives and ten years of methodical research, they demonstrate that intuition is not only used regularly by the best executives and leaders - but that those who utilize their gut instinct or intuition are consistently most successful. The funding angel who first underwrote Newark College of Engineering's study (the PSI Project) was Chester Carlson, credited with inventing the process of xerography for the Xerox company. Named and discussed in this volume are such titans in a variety of fields and business as: Conrad Hilton, Andrew Carnegie, Stanley Krippner, Winston Churchill, Margaret Mead, Albert Einstein, Eileen Garrett, J. P. Morgan, Gertrude Schmeidler, Congressman Charles Percy, William C. Durant, Russell Targ and Hal Puthoff. Cases from IBM, Life Magazine, Martin-Marietta, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Phillips Petroleum are cited. At publication, "Executive ESP" was favorably reviewed by the International Business Digest, the New York Times' Sunday Financial Section, and the New York Academy of Sciences. It was noted for its clear, concise descriptions of the PSI Project's methodology, audience and participants, conclusions of its studies, and anecdotes. This title also comes highly recommended by Stephan A. Schwartz, because of its solid science and conclusions. Schwartz' work could easily stock a personal library, but among his wide-ranging professional and personal acquaintances, he consulted with Douglas Dean. The proven links between "hunches" and success--and how businessmen employ extra sensory perception on a practical basis. The question of whether ESP could be harnessed as a dependable business tool remained unanswered until 1962, when Douglas Dean and John Mihalasky began their PSI Communications Project at Newark College of Engineering. Dean and Mihalasky found that test subjects undergo an unconscious change in fingertip blood volume when a "sender" in a separate room concentrates on the names of people the subject knows - objective evidence for unknown channels of communication. More than 5,000 tests show that ESP operates in big business: the more successful an executive, the higher he scores in. Seller Inventory # 022020
