4.0 out of 5 stars Techniques that work coupled with an interesting read., Dec 24 2003

By	Sergio LoDolce (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews

Recently there seems to be a lot of books being released on how to increase one's intelligence, this book seemed to be the only one that actually gave a method that worked. Image Streaming works, there's no doubt about it, but one thing that I cannot stress enough - if you want to become a genius or become more intelligent you need to put in the effort. The book suggests 15 minutes of Image Streaming a day but if you really want results you should practice for at least an hour. The reason is, according to the book and other studies* one's IQ raises 0.9 pts for every hour put in, if you put in 15 minutes a day your IQ will raise gradually of course but best results are achieved through more practice.

The reason this book is called the Einstein Factor is because of the notion of how Einstein developed his intelligence. Einstein as many people have heard was dyslectic. People who knew him as a child assumed he would never amount to anything. At the age of 16, while he was sitting in class, he thought about what it would be like to ride on a beam of light. He then pondered what would happen if he put a mirror in front of his face - would he see a reflection? This thought/idea is what apparently accelerated Einstein into his genius. Over the next 10 years Einstein contemplated this idea using methods apparently such as Image Streaming. He was heralded as a genius when he was 26 so the process wasn't overnight, but going from a dyslecsic/"retarded" state of mind to genius is quite a leap and that is what Dr. Wenger is trying to show the reader. When Einstein died in 1955 his brain was disected, researches found that he had a significantly larger number of neurotransmitters/neuroconnections, especially in what seemed to be an extremely well developed corpus callosum (the nerves that bind the hemispheres of the brain). Image Streaming is about arousing new areas of the brain and having the hemispheres of the brain work together.

The reason I gave this book 4 stars was because of the "photo reading" section of the book. I tried to go into it with an open mind, but the simple concept of reading at 32,000 words per minute is somewhat absurd, regardless of the claims that Dr. Wenger makes. He says that you're supposed to view the pages with your subconscious and the information will come to you when you need it. That's not very reassuring when one needs to ensure that he/she knows the information, for instance if someone has a test he/she needs to study for. If you are interested in speed reading I suggest picking up Power Reading - ISBN: 0960170618. It is an excellent book on how to accelerate one's reading capabilities.

Looking at Einstein as a model, it took Einstein 10 years to shift into a "genius" - testimonial to this method's validility based upon his contributions to physics, and impact on society. Intertwined with the tutorials, Dr. Wenger provides insight into some of the most recognized minds, detailing on how each person recognized their gift and utilized it to their advantage.

*Mind Accelerator (ISBN: 0973197102) is another book that seems to demonstrate the method of Image Streaming. More information can be found about this book at http://www.themindaccelerator.com/

1.0 out of 5 stars Almost zero effect, Jun 24 2004

By	stoneshadow (Pearl Harbor, HI) - See all my reviews

I purchased this book almost seven months ago and have followed its teachings to a T. I am displeased to report that I have experienced no significant increases in my IQ, memory, creativity, or any other mental faculty that this book claims to improve. I would like to stress, though, that I feel Dr. Wenger's intentions are genuine and that there probably are people who have experienced marvelous gains of mental ability through his teachings. I am not one of them, and that is why I tossed the book in my garbage this morning. I will try The Memory Book next and report back on that.

2.0 out of 5 stars Waste of my money, Jun 19 2004

By	Jason Gould - See all my reviews

I've been image streaming since November of 2003. I recently took an I.Q. test and compared the results to an I.Q. test I took prior to starting. My I.Q. score indicates that my intelligence has not increased at all.
To anyone interested in buying "The Einstein Factor", I warn you that it is a gimmick. I have been image streaming for 15 minutes a day for the last 7 months and have not felt any increase in my mental capabilities.

Also, Win Wenger states that your I.Q. will increase by twenty points after a few months...This can't be true because of the fact that a jump in I.Q. from 140-160 is much higher than a jump from 100-120.

This thing really works. I tried the exercises and noticed HUGE improvement in my memory and the ability to visualize things in a way I had never dreamed before.
