Critics Review
“John Chambers has found that the core of human genius has less to do with raw intelligence than we previously assumed. The two dozen extraordinary individuals he examines all share something in common–the application of spiritual experience to life. Chambers thereby unveils the most empowering secret available to every man and woman.” * Frank Joseph, author of The Lost Civilization of Lemuria and The Destruction of Atlantis *
“Rare and penetrating glimpses into the paranormal dimension of 24 famous artists, scientists, and politicians. From Benvenuto Cellini to Winston Churchill and Carl Jung, this book offers fresh perspectives on the achievements of greatness. Written with grace, wit, and quiet erudition–heartily recommended.” * Michael Grosso, Ph.D., author of Experiencing the Next World Now and The Millennium Myth *
“Does genius depend on only raw intelligence, or is there something beyond the mind that infuses it? Read this book and form your own opinion … ” * Nexus, Colorado’s Holistic Journal, Nov/Dec 2009 *
“Each of the book’s lively accounts starts with a key event from the person’s life, moves to significant background experiences, examines other related incidents and outcomes, and often wraps up with a return to the opening segment.” * Richard D. Wright, New Age Retailer, Feb 2010 *
