Each person born participates in the genius of life and the world at this time is in great need of an awakening of the genius qualities hidden in each of us. In this view genius refers, not to measurable intelligence, but to the essential uniqueness of each person and the gifts and talents that form the core of their inner life. The presence of genius marks each person, regardless of age, gender orientation, ethnicity or social status as being essentially distinct and automatically valuable. In a rapidly changing world faced with seemingly impossible problems, it becomes important to understand that each person has something to contribute to the solutions. Rather than heroically save the world, the real work of humanity at this time may be to awaken the unique spark and inner resiliency of genius within each person. Both timely and timeless, this book is essential for anyone who seeks to awaken their own genius and learn how it can help heal nature and re-imagine culture. This book will help young people hoping to find a meaningful way in the world and adults wanting to dwell more deeply in life. It offers essential ideas for parents and teachers, counselors and mentors seeking to encourage and support those they teach and care about. The Genius Myth is essential reading for anyone searching for a true orientation in the midst of a world gone wrong. The culmination of decades of work with at-risk youth and at-risk people, Michael Meade's book about the genius myth combines dramatic real life experiences with compelling mythic tales and a profound exploration of the wisdom of genius.
The Genius Myth edition by Michael Meade Politics Social Sciences eBooks
I like they way Meade sticks to the thesis of the book throughout all the chapters. The moving away from the Hero myth is refreshing. I find Meade's chapter on the deserted children very insightful, as it gives a mythological explanation for the behaviour of at risk youth among others. His mythological way of handling young people who are presenting with suicide ideation is moving.Maybe the writing of a preface, to introduce the thesis and basic concepts of the book, would be helpful for readers who are less familiar with archetypes and the mythology.

The Genius Myth edition by Michael Meade Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
Fascinating read about encouraging each person to seek out their genius for the betterment of the world. The book is on the philosophical rather than the practical side, arguing the case that we all have genius inside us through cultural insights, but does not discuss how to find the genius nor any research proving that this is the case. Very worth reading.
makes sense to create a better world
If you have a feel for social engineering, the future of our world this book is a must read.
The thesis of the book is fascinating and very timely. I most enjoyed his use of mythological stories to illustrate his points and his examples of working with at risk youth. A little too repetitive overall.
Another deeply insightful look by Michael Meade at imagination through the idea that we each have an inner genius that needs to be awakened to save the world.
Book was recommended by X wife so it had to be good to get me to read it.. Actually, I enjoy reading Mead..
Another thought-provoking book by Michael Meade. If you're looking for something with universal meaning and connection, you can't go wrong. Only four stars because I enjoy his earlier work a bit more.
