Book Review
THE ILLUMINATOR - ACCESS TO UNIVERSAL INTELLIGENCE
AUTHOR: Rajith Rajappan
Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Co., 2011
Each time that I have immersed myself in a self-motivating book, I have felt the need to immediately read another book, offering me a step-by-step guidance to implement the knowledge and instructions mentioned in the former and also keep me driven to do so. Such incidents, however, did not deter me from my search of that one self-help book that makes the task of learning a valuable skill, understanding the message delivered, and making its implementation effortless. When I picked up “The Illuminator” and read the contents of the book in one sitting, all that I had to say to myself was: “Eureka!”
The buzzing world we are a part of is continuously challenging us to meet our personal and professional goals by multiplying on creativity and mitigating stress. Helping us achieve this feat “The Illuminator” offers insights into the universal guiding principle built into in all humans and animals: our instincts -- often unperceived and held in doubt by humans. We, homo sapiens, are always appreciative of the instinctual actions and reactions of animals that help them thrive in the contending nature of the wild; but of our own human instincts we let the covers stay put. This book offers a systematic explanation into the nature, power, and purpose of our instincts and how we can harness this form of “Intelligence” to our advantage. Practical implementation of theoretical learning is always coupled with errors and sometimes failure to achieve results. This alone can be a demoralizing factor for many learners/readers. The author, Rajith, has given due consideration to this phenomena in his book, explaining the factors that may account for such errors and ways to abate them.
While the theme of the book is a topic that has captivated human interest and invited scientific study since time immemorial, Rajith has ensured simplicity of content by opting for elementary style of writing. The simple use of language is teemed with a generous use of appropriate terminologies that stimulates quick learning and understanding of the theme. In addition, the author has effectively exhibited the art of explaining more in a few words and making simple a complex idea, capturing the interest of the readers at all points in the book and achieving the purpose of powerful knowledge dissemination. Each chapter has been carefully structured and well-ordered for impeccable coherency. To ensure that the book leaves a deep and long-lasting impact on its readers, the author opens each chapter with a relevant quotation, giving a hint into the chapter ahead, and closes it with the best lines from the chapter. The conclusion also stands as a summary to the chapter, a re-read of which confirms recollection of all that has been learnt.
The book is a short, quick and smooth read, requiring minimum time investment, yet strikingly impressive in structure and powerful in content.
