Are You Ready To Find Your Genius?
Don't let the subtitle fool you. Your Genius Mind is a passionate and unapologetic call to increase the percentage of people in the U.S. and around the world with a four-year degree. But in this frank, insightful and often humorous account, author K. Candis Best makes clear that a degree will be worthless to anyone who graduates without college level abilities.
In this book readers will learn
- Why everyone has a genius to share with the world;
- How a quality college education can help them to find it; and
- What anyone can do to grow their genius through higher education no matter what school they attend.
This is a must-read for anyone who is about to start college for the first time, considering a return to college to complete a degree or needs to be convinced about the true value of a college education. Here s what actual college students have to say about it
- I loved it! I wish I had read it sooner - Marilyn G.
- This book is perfect for anyone. It's like having an honest conversation with a friend who cares - Alberto P.
- This book could change your life! - Jennifer S.

"The lady author tells us that more people should take degrees, to open their minds to the new age and grow their potential. She explains that at one time, the more years someone had spent in education, the more likely they were to be wealthy and stay out of jail. Now, the changes in society mean that bankers and pyramid scheme sellers are jailed, dropouts open billion-dollar net firms and postgrads serve fast food. People with good thinking skills however will always be valuable to society and have the best chance of success.
I'm fine with all the above. I saw no reason however why we should have to wade through a chapter devoted to retelling the story of all the Star Wars films, then return to the characters in later pages. As a science fiction reader and writer who does not watch the space fantasy series I have no idea who these characters are and why the author thinks it important that they find out if they are heroes. I would prefer my SF to contain astrophysics, ecology and economics; while I would prefer my books on getting an education to contain actual inspirational people. People like Ghandi, perhaps, or Anna Sewell, Rose Wilder Lane, modern sports stars, activists such as those found in 'Breaking Free' by Abby Sher. We do get a tale of Neil deGrasse Tyson later.
I also was disquieted to find that we 'should aim to read one book a month' and a successful businessman who reads a book a week is exceptional. Not among my friends, I'm afraid. If people stopped watching rubbish television, reading rubbish magazines and following celebrities they would have all that time to watch TED talks, read 'The Urban Birder' by David Lindo and find out what kind of fiction can help them learn.
The author emphasises that we should aim to be with people who are growing rather than destructive and it's never too late to learn, even by going to a museum; becoming creative and better skilled will help us to be of service to family and community. This is encouraging and can help set people on the path back to part-time education, even if they had to start work early. She then says that although some college students leave something to be desired, people with just vocational degrees are rarely going to be able to solve life's challenges. So, next time she has a plumbing emergency, or a car crash, I guess she's going to call one of her law students."
