Description
“If you are reading this, count yourself lucky to have found this book. It contains some of the most fascinating information and material you will ever read.” —New York Times best-selling author Jack Canfield
Self-Intelligence is the self-help book for people who long to transform their lives and who trust only proven scientific tools, but also prefer page-turners to dry prose.
Cutting-edge brain science meets superb storytelling as readers learn proven techniques to break through inner gridlock, sustain high performance, and achieve their dreams. All of this is possible due to neuroplasticity, the revolutionary discovery that we can literally re-form our brains by strategically choosing our thoughts, actions, and experiences.
First came emotional intelligence, then came social intelligence. Here, at last, Self-Intelligence provides the big picture, incorporating the latest research from diverse scientific fields. Mental coach, transformational trainer, and science addict Jane Ransom lays out for you the new Self-Intelligence™ model, which she has used to help countless clients achieve the positive change they previously found impossible.
You’ll be uplifted, motivated to move forward, and simply fascinated. The author, who also is a master hypnotist, devotes a riveting chapter to the art and science of hypnosis. Throughout the book, she shares intriguing behind-the-curtain glimpses of its applications.
By following the easy, clear precepts of Self-Intelligence, you can finally achieve your true potential and take the scientific short-cuts to greater success. You’ll be empowered to avert old obstacles because the five-part model addresses your entire being, from the hidden depths of your subconscious self to your striving self, who sets and achieves tangible goals.

Although I already knew a lot of the facts and strategies mentioned in this book, it was still interesting to read about them again. Repetition is never wrong, when you are trying to change your behavioural patterns, as Ransom also states several times, maybe not in these exact words though.
The book emphasises that it is never to late to learn something new or to change a pattern and that, due to the brain's plasticity, it is not as hard as one might think to change one's patterns.
Ransom says that her book is a toolbox rather than a how-to to be read from back to front. And although I read it from back to front, I can see that some people might just pick the chapters that most interest them.
Drawing from her experience as a hypnotherapist and from her own life, Ransom created this toolbox based on the Principle of Five. The five main parts of the book are about the subconscious self, the conscious, the embodied, the social and the striving self. Each chapter is introduced with a small quiz, and is concluded by the solution to the quiz and a "In a Nutshell" paragraph. The structure of the book and each chapter is very organic and it is easy to follow Ransom's logic.
I especially liked the logical layout of the book and Ransom's writing style, which incorporates stories and facts in a good mix so that the information is presented in an interesting and easy to understand way.
For the first couple of chapters, I thought nothing of this book. It seemed pompous and lacking any real ways of change. But as I continued reading, Jane Ransom gave some useful information as well as a way to take that information and how to apply it to your life. By the time I reached the end, I was glad that I had read it.
Well-balanced approach to self-improvement, incorporating understandable science to back up claims. Quiz questions in each chapter to test comprehension promote memory. Definitely recommended.
Jane did an amazing job of showing the reader how to get motivated, dialed in and on the track to being able to live a full and functional life. The reader is engaged and equipped with tools to learn and grow their self-intelligence and benefit from reading.
