Program Description: Thomas Edison was an exceptional genius, but the greatest product of his genius was the establishment of a systematic approach to success that he believed anyone could emulate. In this conversation, Michael Gelb describes the easy-to-apply system of five competencies one needs to complete in order to find what Edison called, "Your own astounding potential." These skills are relevant to anyone who wants to be more creative and use more of their human potential. Gelb describes how one of the world's greatest inventors, Thomas Edison, worked, "Edison was always oriented to finding solutions. He was not afraid of facing, or defining any kind of problem, and he took on huge problems like how do you light the entire world, which was considered to be utterly impossible at the time." Tune in and discover how to wake up your own sleeping genius. 1 Hour
