Samuel Johnson explained "Genius is that energy which collects, combines, amplifies and animates!" Here is a collection of first person stories told by animated people who amplified the Genius river flowing into their minds. Each chapter is written by a fascinating person of achievement. When they faced crises, they found "the latch on the door of Genius, flinging open their channel. Like Saint Francis who prayed "Oh Lord, let me be a channel!" - each one let great creative ideas sweep into their lives. How did they do it? How did they find and apply the genius ideas! What then happened to them because of GENIUS? All this and much more is spelled out to you in their first person stories in this powerful book. It will change your life. It will lift up your spirit. It will show you how you too can tap the GENIUS river! Longfellow explained "All the means of action, the shapeless masses, the materials, lie everywhere about us. What we need is the celestial fire to change the flint into transparent crystal - bright and clear. That fire is GENIUS."
