Product reviews for Creative Intelligence and Self-Liberation - Revised Edition

In this relatively short book, Ted Falconar introduces some powerful concepts. I thought that reading this book would provide me with ways to think more creatively. In fact, I now feel more empowered to think creatively, yet I also feel as though I am now actually thinking less, by keeping self-destructive thoughts out of my head.

The messages in this book were, to me, incredibly useful in overcoming anxiety and nerves as well as offering me a way to think differently in a range of situations. If, like me, you have that “inner voice” following you round and giving you unwanted advice, I would recommend that you read this book to learn how to silence the voice and to look at things from a new perspective. Using this alternative way of thinking has even helped me to get to sleep, by replacing word-thinking with picture-thinking.

Falconar's book takes a modern outlook on spirituality, where the focus is on the here and now. It is this connection with the here and now which frees us from word-thoughts and enables us to be more creative.

Initially I found the book hard to “get into”, because I couldn't grasp the meaning behind some of Falconar's key themes, such as Korzybski's Structural Differential. Being someone who needs to understand things before I can move on, a significant time that I took reading this book was taken up by the introduction and the first chapter. Once I got to grips with the terms (by analogising them with terms that are more familiar to me from NLP, such as chunking upwards) I found the rest of the book to be a truly liberating read.
