Mind Magic : How to Develop the 3 Components of Intelligence That Matter Most in Today's World

The key to unleashing the mind's power, increased intelligence, and creativity

Widely considered one of the great thinkers of the 20th century, Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget did for intelligence and mental development what Freud did for personality. 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

John Laurence Miller, Ph.D., studied under Jean Piaget in Switzerland in the 1970s. He received a doctorate in psychology from Harvard University, where he worked with Seymour Papert, the renowned computer science and artificial intelligence pioneer. He was a visiting scientist at MIT's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and a professor of psychology at York University in Toronto. Dr. Miller is currently an independent consultant and an adjunct professor in the Applied Psychology Department at New York University.
