This book is an adventure into the land of genius. The journey begins in fantasy but moves through the real life stories of geniuses in the fields of philosophy, art, music, poetry, literature and humanitarianism. The message of the adventure is that all people can be successful in an important human area-and a genius level of success may even be possible. It is also emphasized that success, and even genius, can be realized in many areas outside of the areas that we generally associate with genius, like teaching, social work, relationships and parenting. It is a truly motivational story. This book will not only raise the awareness of the essence of genius, but will encourage the reader to raise his or her sights in the areas deemed important. Success, if not genius, is always possible if one has a positive attitude-and a plan. This book illustrates many plans that have aided the creative minds to excel. You can too. Written originally as an enhanced e-book, there are 37 audio and video enhancements. These enhancements include experiences that help the reader to become more familiar with some of the geniuses discussed.
