Moments” by Katherine Ramsland, foreword by Deborah Blum; © 2012, Prometheus Books; 283 pages, includes index ——— BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER There are days when you wish you were a magician. If you were, all problems would be fixed with a click of your fingers. No more thorny predicaments. No more half-baked ideas. No more unfinished business. One finger-pop and you’d solve everything, quick and painless. But Abracadabra is never that simple — or is it? In the new book “Snap: Seizing Your Aha! Moments” by Katherine Ramsland, you’ll see that you shouldn’t worry about your fingers. It’s your mind that should be snapping. You know how it goes: you spot a problem that stymies you. Frustrated, you head for bed and sleep ... until your subconscious gets done chewing on the problem and the solu- tion smacks you awake. Problem solved. But is it really that easy? Ramsland says that it is, but it requires some preparation and the implementation of three basic steps: scanning, sifting, and solv- ing. Overall, it’s not what you think about the problem, but how you think. Scanning seems to involve an immersion in the issue itself, and a certain “bliss” or “flow” with the situation as a whole. You’re in- terested in the product or end result — maybe even passionate about it — so finding a solution becomes imperative. You feel like you’ve “slipped into the most comfortable clothes ... ever owned,” and you simply know everything is right. A certain amount of syn- chronicity even comes into play; you’re being aligned for where you need to be to achieve a positive end result. The best way to sift is to know as much about the issue as you can, and try to see it from new angles. Your “cognitive map” may get in the way here, so move past habits and old paradigms. Look at the problem from other angles. Keep your mind flexible. Har- ness your flow. Focus, but don’t despair if your mind wanders. Then, just about the time you’re ready to The Bookworm A Guide To Your ‘Aha! Moments’ REVIEW | PAGE 9B
