Publisher Description
Tap into your hidden intelligence and transform your life
How are some people so much smarter than the rest of us? Where do visionary creatives and savvy decision-makers like Vincent van Gogh, Steve Jobs, Abraham Lincoln, Maya Angelou, Nikola Tesla, Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Wayne Gretzky, Warren Buffett, and William Shakespeare get their extraordinary mental abilities?
In 2021, researchers at Ohio State’s Project Narrative, renowned for collaborations with NASA, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley, announced they had the answer. They named it Primal Intelligence. And they published scientific proof that Primal Intelligence was impossible for computers—but could be strengthened in humans.
Intrigued, U.S. Army Special Operations developed Primal training for its most classified units. The training succeeded. The Operators saw the future faster. They healed quicker from trauma. In life-and-death situations, they chose wiser.
The Army then authorized trials on civilian entrepreneurs, doctors, engineers, managers, salesforces, coaches, teachers, investors, and NFL players. Their leadership and innovation improved significantly. They coped better with change and uncertainty. They experienced less anger and anxiety. Finally, the Army provided Primal training to college and K-12 classrooms. It produced substantial effects in students as young as eight.
That revolutionary training is now available for the first time in this book. It’s not an optimization hack or a cheat code. It’s a different way of using your brain. It offers a new neuroscientific approach to intuition, imagination, emotion, and commonsense, helping you think more like van Gogh and Jobs, Lincoln and Shakespeare.
It’s your edge over AI. Your human genius. Your Primal Intelligence.
* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF containing visuals, a Primal Self-Assessment Quiz, and a list of further reading on Primal Intelligence from the book.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Unlocking the unique potential of the human brain is squarely on Angus Fletcher’s mind in this exploration of thought processes. While consulting for the United States Army, the professor saw firsthand how fine-tuning intuition, imagination, emotional intelligence, and common sense maximized performance during Special Operations training. Unfortunately, he also realized how underdeveloped those skills have become in many people. Drawing on stories not only from the military but from leaders in business, entertainment, and sports, he applies his findings to critical functions like decision-making and communication. Fletcher does a great job of showcasing how the genius of folks like Shakespeare, van Gogh, Einstein, Curie, and Jobs sprang from their panache for flexible thinking. An engaging speaker, Fletcher infuses his narration with unbridled enthusiasm for the material. Primal Intelligence celebrates the possibilities that emerge when the chains of by-the-numbers thinking are broken.
