Book Overview:
Be curious! Be imaginative! Be determined! Develop your talents by drawing inspiration from the greatest of geniuses. In a world that changes quickly, the future belongs to those who have an open, flexible mind: like John Lennon, they will imagine the impossible; like Walt Disney, they will work as a team; and like Copernicus, they will be able to think backwards! If you’re worried you might not be up to the job, have no fear! This fascinating book will show you the way. Meet 27 geniuses from different eras and disciplines – artists, scientists, thinkers or writers – and learn from their "creative methods". Packed with facts, games and activity ideas to boost your intelligence, creative, inventive, and critical thinking skills, this book will show you that you can become absolutely awesome at whatever you put your mind to!
My Review:
I don't consider myself a genius by any means but feel I am better skilled or educated in some subjects more than others. A hardback book filled with facts, information, advice and tips, How to Think Like an Absolute Genius won't boost your IQ score a ton but it will direct you in the right position to feel a little smarter.
There are three main sections in this book - Be Curious, Be Imaginative, and Be Determined. Each page layout focuses on a genius, and each page is structured in the same way. There's Everyday Tips, quotes of something important said by a genius, activities to improve your creativity, a Genius Snapshot that shows what made each genius amazing and how that person thought differently. There's also tips and facts on how the brain of a genius works, and information on other similar geniuses who revolutionized their fields.
This isn't a book to be read in a day. I think it would be better if your child only read about one genius a day. That's because there's so much information packed in, and you don't want your child to miss out on all that's being illustrated and written.
Did you know that Thomas Edison patented a total of 1093 inventions during his lifetime? Or that John Lennon composed 275 songs in just 7 years with the Beatles? You'll learn all this and more in this book!
