Few know that Thomas Edison deliberately mined his unconscious for patent development ideas, taking his famous naps while holding a brick. As the brick fell, he woke with new insights, leading to 1093 U.S. patents. Drawing on three degrees in psychology and forty years experience with the unconscious and dreams, author Stase Michaels maps the unconscious for researchers and provides them with techniques to access it. During her four day seminar, "Your 24/7 Silent Partner," she tells participants how breakthrough insights happen regularly and can be achieved as easily as learning to drive. Using personally developed techniques, she demonstrates how to present a problem to the unconscious for selective problem solving and generate successful patent-producing insights.
