Let your sleeping take the strain out of problem solving

If you need a little help getting problems sorted out personally or professionally, this is a great book to assist you in that endeavour by a simple technique - sleeping on it. Eric Maisel has constructed an easy-to-follow step-by-step method to harness our unconscious in solving what seems in broad daylight to be the unsolvable. He provides several typical case studies including work problems, artist's block and having a problem with a roommate. Writing down and refining the key issues surrounding the problem and keeping a dream journal are recommended. Solutions may not necessarily appear after the first night's sleep on it. The whole process may take a few days or several months. But once you get into the habit of sleep thinking it becomes easier. This technique is very similar to various meditation techniques I have come across, but sleep thinking is a more comprehensive and constructive approach. I believe it also provides more possibilities because you are not continuously consciously focused on the problem you are trying to solve.

This book is great!

I bought Sleep Thinking, started following the method a couple of weeks ago, and I'm already seeing results. I'm waking up earlier in the morning, and getting work done on a creative writing project that I've been putting off for too long. I'm encouraging all of my friends and colleagues to buy the book and start sleep thinking. The book is well-written, clear and easy to understand, with well-chosen examples that should make it easy for a broad spectrum of people to apply sleep thinking to a broad range of needs, for creative, personal, school, and business enrichment. Do yourself a favor, get this book and start sleep thinking.
