The Great Mystery of Genius

An abnormally high IQ. Ten thousand hours of hard work. Lucky opportunities. Many explanations have been put forth to explain genius, but here's one you probably haven't heard...and that can change your life...

Curiosity and the Greatest Genius Who Ever Lived

Only an inquisitive mind will find the path to greatness. In this chapter you enter the shoes of Leonardo da Vinci, the master of the Renaissance, and learn the lessons of curiosity that drove him to become, as many say, the greatest genius of all time.

Courage and the Cripple of Lepanto

Greatness demands extraordinary courage. In this chapter, you join Miguel de Cervantes, the renowned author of Don Quixote, and through his larger-than-life tale of enslavement, hope, integrity, and sacrifice, learn what it takes to overcome the physical, mental, and spiritual ordeals of the journeys of life.

Imagination and the Man Who Invented the 20th Century

The greater the achievement, the more imagination it requires. In this chapter, you travel back to the turn of the century and into the fascinating world of Nikola Tesla, one of the most brilliant and innovative inventors of all time, and learn the "secrets" to creativity that have empowered our world's greatest creators.

Devotion to Goals and the Wizard of Menlo Park

Your goals will determine how far you travel in your journey to greatness. In this chapter, you meet Tesla's rival, the indefatigable Thomas Edison as a young boy and learn how he grew into the most famous inventor in history, and how to set and pursue goals like a person of his genius.

Drive and the Macedonian Who Conquered the World

No great journey is without trials, and no great achiever allows herself to be stopped by them. In this chapter, you march with one of history's greatest military commanders, Alexander the Great, in his "impossible" campaigns in Greece and Persia, and learn how he inspired a superhuman drive in both himself and his men, and how you can use the same methods to achieve your own ends.

Knowledge and the Gadfly of Athens

Knowledge is, of course, at the heart of genius. But it's much more than mere information. In this chapter, you accompany Socrates, the enigmatic founder of Western philosophy, and learn vital lessons of how to achieve true wisdom, and how to use it to awaken your inner genius.

Individualism and the Virgin Queen

Incredible strength of character is a hallmark of great geniuses. In this chapter, you slip inside the royal court of Elizabeth I of England and watch her rise from a shunned, disinherited princess to a powerful, respected queen, and in the process get inspired to champion your own viewpoints and causes no matter the opposition.

Judgment and the Great Medicine Revolution of Ancient Greece

Our lives are reflections of the decisions we make. In this chapter, you walk the lands of ancient Greece with Hippocrates, physician and father of medicine, and through his revolutionary teachings and healing practices, learn how to sharpen your judgement to a razor's edge.

Honesty and the Rapier Wit of the Renaissance

Honesty--with oneself and others--goes hand-in-hand with genius. In this chapter, you pick up a pen with Voltaire, the legendary Renaissance writer, and fight for justice, truth, and humanity, and learn why honesty plays a crucial role in empowering you to achieve greatness.

Ability to Communicate and the Pen of Revolution

The greatest potential for genius can go to waste if the ability to communicate is lacking. In this chapter, you put your shoulder to the wheel of the American Revolution and learn how to use words to move, influence, and enlighten from the man whose writings made the Revolution possible, Thomas Paine.

Optimism and Surviving the Times That Tried Mens Souls

No matter how dark the circumstances, great geniuses are able to supply their own light. In this chapter, you ride up to the side of General George Washington, during the bleakest moments of the Revolutionary War, and you'll learn how to overcome setbacks and despair and prove to yourself and others that you have what it takes to stay the course in your journey.

Your Invitation to the Brotherhood of Genius

You've now gained an exceptional insight into the true nature of genius, and how to awaken your inner genius. Your invitation to the Brotherhood is waiting...will you accept it?

Expand your understanding of the genius code with thought-provoking essays, and get into action with fun, helpful practical exercises.

Youre awesome for reading my book, and I have a small favor to ask...

Sean Patrick is a dad, husband, Floridian, author, entrepreneur, slightly off-kilter, hopelessly optimistic, 28-year-old thats obsessed with creation, marketing, storytelling, fitness, and educating.

Founder of Oculus Publishers, Patrick is on a mission to enlighten, entertain, and inspire people through beautiful stories and ideas.

When not writing or building something, you can usually find him lifting heavy things in the gym, trying to make a dent in his hopelessly gargantuan to-read list, acting like a fool to make his son laugh...and writing in the third person. Wink, wink.
