Think Naked: Childlike Brilliance in the Rough Adult World

by Peter Lloyd Marco Marsan, Peter Lloyd

Don't you wish you had what it takes to handle all the stuff that life serves up? Well you do - at least you did. You were once fully equipped to make life an incredible experience. The fact is that 98 percent of us are geniuses early in life, and almost all of us lose our genius. Is it lost forever? No. Champion of creative thinking, Marco Marsan will reunite you with your childhood creativity, your unbridled curiosity, and your exuberance for life. Each chapter will unlock the spirit of your childhood genius, buried deep within, as you attack fear - the main enemy of your childlike mental agility. Each exercise in the book is designed to help you undo years of negative conditioning. Marco operates on the premise that if we could think as nimbly as a child and combine that power with our adult library of knowledge, we would achieve life-and world-changing breaktrhoughs.

I decided to stop reading this one about 1/2 way through. It's not so awful, in fact, the writing style makes the concepts accessible to most people. But I have read a lot of stuff like this, and taken courses, and feel there's nothing new here for me. I liked the title -- I think I found the book at a used book shop or at the Friends of the Library store. Anyway, plan to release it via bookcrossing or paperbackswap.

Good exercises on how to shake up your old thinking ways.. Good examples..lost me on using Justice Clarence Thomas whom I dislike but this author tried to use a comparison that was inappropriate due to his lack of understanding of what an "oral argument" entails once you reach the Supreme Court.

But it can help to get you in a mindset to see the world as we once did as children.
