Why do some of us master languages easily
while others give up in frustration?
Why are some of us perfectly organized and
others scatter papers everywhere?
Why do some people prefer written communication
while others would rather talk?
In The Open Mind, you will discover
that the answers to these and many other "personality"
riddles lie in the particular way your mind works. Understanding
your unique pattern and the ones of the people you know
will revolutionize the way you communicate, work, and love.
Dr. Markova teaches that each of us uses
one of six learning patterns, all based on the way we process
auditory, visual, and kinesthetic information. If your conscious
mind is most stimulated by movement, for instance, it will
be hard for you to learn while sitting still. If, on the
other hand, movement stimulates your unconscious mind, you
may find competitive sports frustrating. In The Open
Mind, Dr. Markova guides you through detailed descriptions
of each thinking pattern and teaches how to recognize them
in yourself and others.
Dawna Markova, Ph.D., is internationally
