Turtles All the Way Down: Prerequisites to Personal Genius

Rich with humor and metaphors from other cultures and disciplines Turtles develops the characteristics common to the geniuses whose patterning formed the initial body of NLP techniques. You will learn how these skills are readily available for cultivating your own personal genius in a way that is respectful of the power of the unconscious. This book is the documentary with added notes and stories of Grinder/Deloziers five day seminar called "Prerequisites To Personal Genius". John Grinder and Judith Delozier get their participants to think about the structure of thinking; how our thought patterns become our beliefs about reality. The limitations of those thought patterns can be overcome however when a person is able to expand his/her perceptual filters and model "geniuses" -- this is the process which has been shown in the lives of people such as Einstein Milton Erickson and Gregory Bateson. Throughout the book the authors challenge you to reexamine the structures of your "mind" and the ways that all parts can be integrated in an internal dance.
