Reviews for The Open Mind

[citygirl_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The idea is that our conscious, subconscious and unconscious minds are configured differently for each person, each mind matching up with visual, kinetic and auditory intelligence. For example, Michael Jordan's conscious mind is probably hooked up to his kinetic intelligence. Interesting theory, has merit. If nothing else, you can get ideas of new ways to play with your mind.
