Win Wenger - The Einstein Factor

Can you increase your intelligence? Absolutely.

Most people are surprised to learn that intelligence quotient (IQ) scores can be raised. Yet, few experts would deny that this is possible. The accumulated evidence has simply become too strong. To give just a few examples: Children enrolled in the Head Start programlaunched in 1964 to help underprivileged preschoolersexperienced IQ gains as high as 10 points after only a few months in the program; children with learning disabilities subjected to electroencephalogram (EEG) biofeedback therapy have reportedly gained 10 to 23 IQ points, following treatment; scientists at the University of California at Irvine raised the IQ scores of test subjects by 8 to 9 points, simply by having them listen to 10 minutes of Mozarts Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major, K.448.

Of course, such sudden and dramatic gains tend to be short-lived. IQ gains made by Head Start preschoolers, for example, tended to dissipate between the third and sixth grade. The jump experienced by the Mozart listeners in Irvine faded after only 15 minutes. Educators call this the Fade-Out Effect.

Some experts argue that the Fade-Out Effect proves that youre pretty much stuck with the IQ you had at birth. This is a little bit like saying that Wilbur and Orville Wright should have given up after their maiden flight because they managed to stay airborne only 12 seconds. What was impressive about the Wright brothers flight was not its brevity, but the fact that it happened at all. Once the possibility of flight was established, extending its duration was a mere technicality. Indeed, it was only four years later that the Wright brothers delivered to the U.S. Army Signal Corps an airplane capable of flying 125 miles.

Today, accelerative learning researchers are in a position much like that of the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk in 1903. Everyone knows that human intelligence can be enhanced. The challenge now is to enhance it more intensely and for longer periods of time. The techniques in The Einstein Factor will help you do just that.

Here, you will find some of the most effective and up-to-date methods available for releasing your Einstein Factorthat secret trigger for ingenious thought that lies within all of us. Some of the highlights included in this book are innovations such as Image Streaming, PhotoReading, Freenoting, and Borrowed Genius.

IQ is only one measure of intelligence and not necessarily the best. While experiments have shown that some of these techniques will indeed raise your IQ, as a whole they will contribute toward a more important goal: elevating your overall brainpower and enhancing memory, creativity, reading speed, specific talents, and general brain health.

The Einstein Factor is the culmination of 25 years of research in accelerative learning. Through the Project Renaissance seminars, thousands have already been helped by these techniques. We hope that in these pages you, too, will find a pathway to insight and achievement that you never dreamed possible.

The Project Renaissance program for accelerated learningwhich forms the subject matter of this bookhas arisen over the last 25 years from the theories, experiments and efforts of literally thousands of brain/mind pioneers, including the hundreds of good people who participated in my thinktanks, bringing with them a multitude of special qualities and unique personal insights.

Among these intrepid thinktankers, I must cite with special gratitude Vercille Bennett, Burton Linne, Hal and Marilyn Shook of Life Management Services, Abe Goldblatt, William Schulz, Bill Webster, Dan Knight of High Performance Associates in Alexandria, Virginia, Charlotte Ward of Accelerated Learning of Maryland, John Robb, Ted Woynicz, May Leiner, Tom Gregory, Kate Jones, Joel Hamaker and the late Leo Zajac, to whose living memory I herewith dedicate this book. For every one I mention here there are ten others who should be mentioned. I ask the indulgence of those whose valuable contributions I have not been able to acknowledge by name.

Beyond the thinktankers, a number of other people have made valuable contributions to this writers life and to this present work. I give special thanks to the following:
