What the experts are saying about this book

"I have been aware of Frank's innovative courses for many years. His book Metamind is an excellent example of what is needed in universities to help the student think more clearly and discover creative solutions to our complex problems today and in the future."

— Dr. Paul MacCready
Founder and Chairman of the Board of AeroVironment

"I have been teaching college psychology and leadership courses using traditional textbooks for over twenty years. Metamind is not a traditional textbook. In Metamind, Dr. Prochaska takes you on a journey into your soul that makes you a better thinker, leader, and person. It is a distinctive and fascinating journey because Dr. Prochaska uses narratives from his own life as a guide. As your "mental coach," Dr. Prochaska establishes a classical mentor/protégé' relationship that facilitates your encounters with science, design, philosophy, religion, and mental exercises, all aimed at making you a more effective thinker and problem solver. In each of Metamind's "lessons" or "segments," you explore boundaries and constraints that limit your thinking. You also learn mental techniques that break through these constraints, developing the meta-cognitive awareness needed to use your mind more effectively. I have used Metamind in my courses and I have found I can easily adapt it to my own student-centered teaching style."

"He unpuckered my doopa! This is a dangerous book written by a dangerous mind. Just reading it will open up your Pandora's box of creative insight. You will never be the same! I love this book! Frank is not normal! His journal of creative leadership is infectious. While other books are about leadership, this inspires leadership from the inside out."
