Flashes of insight--the "Eureka!" moments that produce new and useful
ideas in a single thought--are behind some of the world's most creative
and practical innovations. This book shows how to cultivate more and
better flashes of insight by harnessing the science and practice of the
"seventh sense."
Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, Asian philosophy, and military
strategy, William Duggan illustrates the power of the seventh sense to
help readers aspire to and achieve more in their personal and
professional lives. His examples include Gandhi, Joan of Arc, Starbucks
founder Howard Shultz, and executives and students he has taught in his
classes. His book presents specific steps in the form of three practical
tools to help prepare the mind, see and seize opportunity, and follow
through on one's resolution. Based on Duggan's perennially popular
Columbia Business School course, this book teaches the mental skills and
discipline that power the seventh sense.
