Recommendation

This is a serious self-help book which requires thoughtful effort on the reader’s part, but promises a concomitant reward. Dick Richards urges you to find your genuine inner talents and spiritual beliefs, your “genius,” and to pursue them to find your career, your purpose and true fulfillment. However, the quest for genius is difficult to execute, though many successful people may have already completed this internal search and made genius-based career decisions without even knowing it. Richards is writing for those who have not. His audience is people who hold jobs that don’t give them a sense of accomplishment or meaning. Richards spends a good bit of time explaining how people can find and name their genius, and perhaps not enough time telling them what they can do with it once that “eureka” moment has happened.

This book is useful for counselors and therapists, as well as for spiritually oriented readers who are willing to undertake serious introspection to refocus on their true gifts and purpose.

When the personal gifts that make people productive actually align with their work, they are much happier. People who are dissatisfied with their jobs most likely lack that connection with their inner genius. Genius is a spontaneous interest, a natural ability, a special power that comes to you very easily. Recognizing your genius will give you a feeling of accomplishment and joy. Everyone has a natural genius, but discovering and acknowledging it is often difficult. People frequently do not recognize their genius and, in fact, may even suppress it.

Recognizing your genius unleashes new power, enabling you to accomplish more because you have released your innate capabilities. If you fail to acknowledge your genius, you may...
