A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Angus Fletcher (PhD, Yale) is Professor of Story Science at Ohio State's Project Narrative, the world's leading academic institute for narrative research. He has dual degrees in neuroscience and Shakespeare. His research has been called 'mind-blowing' by Malcolm Gladwell and 'life-changing' by Brené Brown and has been endorsed by Martin Seligman, Antonio Damasio, and many of the world's other top psychologists, doctors, and neuroscientists. In 2023, he was awarded the Commendation Medal by the US Army for his 'groundbreaking' research with Special Operations into using Story Science to train innovation, leadership, and resilience.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Praise for Primal Intelligence

'Primal Intelligence confirms what I have long suspected about Angus Fletcher. He has never had an uninteresting thought' Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers

'A fascinating exploration of human potential that will change how you think about thinking. With virtuosic range, Fletcher reveals why Shakespeare matters to Navy SEALs, what van Gogh can teach us about innovation, how Marie Curie's intuition transformed, and much more' Daniel Pink, author of The Power of Regret and Drive

'Groundbreaking' U.S. Army

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

Tap into your hidden intelligence and transform your life

How are some people so much smarter than the rest of us? Where do visionary creatives and savvy decision-makers like Vincent van Gogh, Steve Jobs, Abraham Lincoln, Maya Angelou, Nikola Tesla, Marie Curie, Albert Einstein and William Shakespeare get their extraordinary mental abilities?

In 2021, researchers at Ohio State's Project Narrative, renowned for collaborations with NASA, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley, announced they had the answer. They named it Primal Intelligence. And they published scientific proof that Primal Intelligence was impossible for computers-but could be strengthened in humans.

Intrigued, U.S. Army Special Operations developed Primal training for its most classified units. The training succeeded. The Operators saw the future faster. They healed quicker from trauma. In life-and-death situations, they chose wiser.

The Army then authorized trials on civilian entrepreneurs, doctors, engineers, managers, salesforces, coaches, teachers, investors, and NFL players. Their leadership and innovation improved significantly. They coped better with change and uncertainty. They experienced less anger and anxiety. Finally, the Army provided Primal training to college and K-12 classrooms. It produced substantial effects in students as young as eight.

That revolutionary training is now available for the first time in this book. It's not an optimization hack or a cheat code. It's a different way of using your brain. It offers a new neuroscientific approach to intuition, imagination, emotion, and commonsense, helping you think more like van Gogh and Jobs, Lincoln and Shakespeare.

It's your edge over AI. Your human genius. Your Primal Intelligence.
