John DeMartini, author of 40 books on personal development, was a success story no one expected. He literally did not know how to read well into his teenage years. He expected at the time that his career would go no further than working at a surf shop, but a chance encounter with alternative medicine pracitioner Paul C. Bragg led him to a breakthrough in his mindset. He had a vision of himself becoming a teacher one day, and he taught himself how to read and how to speak eloquently to achieve that goal.

Paul C. Bragg taught him an affirmation to say to himself every day: I am a genius when I apply my wisdom.” He used that wisdom to pass his G.E.D. exam. He used that wisdom to learn philosophy and reasoning skills. He used that wisdom to teach himself to speed read and how to absorb knowledge every day.

John DeMartini went from a “stupid” kid who couldn’t read to a “genius” in a few short years by having the breakthrough that his history is not his destiny. He was able to shape the life he wanted and live is by having a breakthrough in his mindset.
