What fascinated me was realizing how many different ways I'd experienced those moments without ever connecting them.

Sometimes it was the answer to a problem.

Sometimes it was suddenly understanding something that had confused me.

Sometimes it was knowing exactly what to say at exactly the right moment.

And every once in a while... I'd have one of those days when everything just seemed to click.

The right ideas came easily.

Decisions felt obvious.

I noticed possibilities I might normally have missed.

And things just seemed to fall into place.

That's when I started wondering what life might be like if I experienced

more moments like those.

Would I see answers sooner?

Recognize more opportunities?

Learn things more easily?

Make better decisions?

Have the right words when they mattered? 

And perhaps most intriguing of all... 

would I begin noticing possibilities in my life that I'd simply never seen before?

I wasn't looking for a way to become a "genius."

I wanted to understand something much more personal.

Why could my mind sometimes do all of this so naturally... and other times I could struggle to find an answer that had been right in front of me?

That's the question that led me to something I never expected.

Because researchers studying the human brain had discovered something that made those seemingly random moments suddenly make much more sense.

And when I saw what they had discovered... one question immediately came to mind:

If this ability is already inside us... what happened to it?
