Think Like a Genius is an easy-to-learn, yet powerful Five Dimensional modeling process that's been used in homes, schools and organizations for the past 20 years. Think Like a Genius helps you give form to your thoughts, generate and express ideas more effectively, enrich and improve your communications, and understand things better - as well as, allowing others to understand you better.
Symbolism! Everything in the world is symbolic! And every object can be used to represent anything you can imagine. When you add the 4th-Dimension, too (that's Time and Motion or Change), you now have Symbolic Objects. Anything you create or build in this 5-D environment can be used to truly express what you feel, think, dream, imagine, and believe about anything. And you can move and change your symbolic creations for any purpose!
Anyone can use the Think Like a Genius Process. It is very simple to learn and use. You don't have to be a genius to think like one! But beware: using this process may make you smarter!
We share the belief that everyone is born with the "gift of genius" and have the ability to do great things by applying this gift in every way imaginable! And that your creative abilities enable you to imagine and invent anything you want or need -- that is, when you're provided with some basic tools and encouragement to do that. That's why we created the Think Like a Genius software and website. We want to "mainstream" genius thinking. We want to put the power of doing genius thinking in everyone's hands! Also keep in mind this reality: We have a world of urgent problems and challenges that require a world of people thinking like geniuses to help improve it in anyway we can.
Because it's fun! You can show everyone how creative and smart you are! You get to share what's on your mind. Think Like a Genius draws on your smarts - and makes you smarter! You can solve problems better! You can use your gifts of curiosity and imagination to learn new things better! That's what geniuses have been doing since the beginning of time to create, explore and communicate their ideas to others.
Now you can use these universal creativity and communication tools to fully express your thoughts and ideas, brainstorm, solve problems, communicate in new ways, invent things, make art and do science.
And there's no right or wrong way to interpret the many meanings of your worlds! That's a big part of the fun of making worlds, sharing them, and applying them to every aspect of your life too!
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a symbolic world is worth a thousand pictures that words alone cannot express or represent. We call it "dimensionalizing" your thoughts, ideas, and knowledge. Artists and architects do it when they create their designs. Coaches do it when they draw out plays. Scientists do it when they communicate their discoveries. Engineers do it to prototype their ideas, and show how things work or could work in real-life. Inventors do it when they're creating their new inventions.
Aspects of the Think Like a Genius process were created by Todd Siler, Ph.D. just prior to, and while earning his doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was further developed and applied through his company, Think Like a Genius, LLC (founded in 1994) to many areas, including: schools (teaching of curricular content, teacher-student communication), businesses (strategic planning, product development, teambuilding) and the home (personal growth, family communication). Clients include: IBM, Proctor and Gamble, World Economic Forum, Nabisco, Chase Manhattan, Chevron, Texas Instruments, Compaq, McDonalds, ING, Home Depot, Campbells, World Knowledge Forum, and many other organizations, as well as many school districts throughout the country via The ArtScience Program and The Think Like a Genius Program.
