"Overcoming fear in the face of a challenge is a common theme. On the surface, it merits no special recognition, except when it is happening to you", writes successful advertising agency entrepreneur Sandy Sims, in his engaging and deeply personal book How Frank Lloyd Wright Got Into My Head, Under My Skin and Changed The Way I Think About Thinking: A Creative Thinking Blueprint for the 21st Century. The author describes how his encounter with the thinking of legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright affected him deeply, and changed his approach to thought and creativity in a life altering way.
Sandy Sims shares his experiences of developing property in Hawaii, but that surface narrative is simply the framework for a more profound spiritual journey. As the author enters into a building project, he draws on the design and creative genius Frank Lloyd Wright for inspiration. Along the way, what was ostensibly a land development project transforms itself and the author in ways he never imagined possible. For Sandy Sims, the combination of a health challenge, a career crossroads, and the wisdom of Frank Lloyd Wright provide a gateway to a deeper spiritual awakening. The inward voyage toward self discovery, attained through the assistance of some of the most cutting edge thinkers and philosophers, changed the author's view of life forever.

With a powerful spiritual curiosity, combined with a hands on desire for empirical and observational evidence, Sandy Sims enters into a world where the material world dissolves into dust. The author tests his perceived limits as a human, and discovers inner powers that he never knew were part of his material body. Crossing what prove to be artificial boundaries between where science ends and the paranormal world begins, Sandy Sims sees those lines blur, and then disappear entirely. For the author, the worlds of the shaman and the physicist are one and the same, when examined at their deepest levels. Along with the blending of the spiritual and physical worlds, the author sheds the doubts that held him back, and help him to tap into personal powers he never knew he possessed.
For me, the power of the book is how Sandy Sims combines the seemingly separate practical worlds of building and business, with the world of the metaphysical and spirituality. The author discovers the profound truth that not only are the inner world of the mind and spirit connected to the outer world of action, but that one affects the other in unexpected and critical ways. For the author, the journey within, where he bares his soul to the world, provides him with the wisdom and strength to overcome the challenges facing his business and his physical body. With the boundaries between the inner spirit and the outer body being disintegrated, the author is then prepared to challenge and overcome the also artificial boundaries people place between the supposedly real world and that of the mind and spiritual world.
Using the autobiographical format effectively as an outline, the author successfully creates more than he expected with his encounter with the thought of Frank Lloyd Wright. Instead of a mere building and design problem, Sandy Sims moved to a dimension of life where few dare to tread. The personal courage displayed by the author, as he takes life to the very edge of the unknown and the unknowable, is an inspirational lesson for everyone. The author recognizes that he didn't take his inner journey alone, but had his invisible guides to help his transition from conventional thought, to his entry into the realm of the shaman.
I highly recommend the inspirational and compelling book How Frank Lloyd Wright Got Into My Head, Under My Skin and Changed The Way I Think About Thinking: A Creative Thinking Blueprint for the 21st Century by Sandy Sims, to anyone seeking a guide into the spheres of human existence where few ever venture. The book will open a person's eyes to the unlimited possibilities that all people can discover and use to create their own better and richer life. Along with the book, the author also offers a valuable and very hands on accompanying workbook Creative Thinking for the 21st Century that enriches and expands upon the lessons shared in the book itself.
Read the thought provoking and potentially life changing book How Frank Lloyd Wright Got Into My Head, Under My Skin and Changed The Way I Think About Thinking: A Creative Thinking Blueprint for the 21st Century by Sandy Sims, and begin your own spiritual journey, sharing the creative thought of your own personal invisible partners, as you extend your personal powers beyond the everyday world. This transformational book is an excellent starting point for a voyage of self discovery that will help overcome the obstacles of your life.
