Becoming Supernatural marries the some of the most profound scientific information with ancient wisdom to show how people like you and me can experience a more mystical life. Listeners will learn that we are quite literally supernatural by nature if given the proper knowledge and instruction, and when we learn how to apply that information through various meditations we should experience a greater expression of our creative abilities; that we have the capacity to tune in to frequencies beyond our material world and receive more orderly, coherent streams of consciousness and energy.

Years ago, after suffering a humiliatingly large dumb tax, it dawned on me that I have a seemingly unlimited ability to hit unforced errors and sabotage my business and financial success. I suspect you do, too. It turns out that the key to getting rich (and staying that way) is to avoid doing stupid things. I don't need to do more smart things. I just need to make fewer dumb mistakes. The vast majority of our dumb tax is a direct result of emotional, overly optimistic, and poorly thought out decisions.

These people invent, lead (regardless of title), connect others, make things happen, and create order out of chaos. They figure out what to do when there’s no rule book. They delight and challenge their customers and peers. They love their work, pour their best selves into it, and turn each day into a kind of art.

Good sleep helps you shed fat for good, stave off disease, stay productive, and improve virtually every function of your mind and body. That's what Shawn Stevenson learned when a degenerative bone disease crushed his dream of becoming a professional athlete. Like many of us, he gave up on his health and his body...until he decided there must be a better way.

Some parts good, but be careful
- By Brian A. Shenk on 12-05-16
Publisher's Summary
In Eyes Wide Open, Isaac Lidsky draws on his experience of achieving immense success, joy, and fulfillment while losing his sight to a blinding disease to show us that it isn't external circumstances but how we perceive and respond to them that governs our reality.
Fear has a tendency to give us tunnel vision - we fill the unknown with our worst imaginings and cling to what's familiar. But when confronted with new challenges, we need to think more broadly and adapt. When Isaac Lidsky learned that he was beginning to go blind at age 13, eventually losing his sight entirely by the time he was 25, he initially thought that blindness would mean an end to his early success and his hopes for the future. Paradoxically, losing his sight gave him the vision to take responsibility for his reality and thrive. Lidsky graduated from Harvard College at age 19, served as a Supreme Court law clerk, fathered four children, and turned a failing construction subcontractor into a highly profitable business.
Whether we're blind or not, our vision is limited by our past experiences, biases, and emotions. Lidsky shows us how we can overcome paralyzing fears, avoid falling prey to our own assumptions and faulty leaps of logic, silence our inner critics, harness our strength, and live with open hearts and minds. In sharing his hard-won insights, Lidsky shows us how we, too, can confront life's trials with initiative, humor, and grace.

A massive shift in my perception
As a truck driver who deeply understands the importance of having eyes wide open, I was shocked to find how blind I've been. Thank you Isaac for healing my blindness. Learning about living heart wide open and ears wide open have been the most valuable parts to me. Thank you again. If your someone who wish they knew how to turn their life lemons into lemonade, this book is for you. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Inspiring story
Thank you for sharing you story. I was able to gain a number of insights with your words.
Having just had retina surgery, I experienced first hand the fear of losing my sight. While the surgery was successful, your story gave me strength that if something like losing my sight happened it would not be the end of my world.
I am in your debt.

More about him than the topic
I want in really hopeful and interested in learning lessons about how to overcome extreme life adversity. It ended up being mostly about his personal life in the first few chapters with almost a whole chapter dedicated to his stint as a child actor. While I admire his achievement I wouldn't list this book as one of them.

As a person who is in the process of going blind, hearing this book of hope, encouragement, and open vulnerability was mind- and heart-opening. What I did not expect was learning a new way of approaching life in relationship to others. This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it for anybody stuck and looking for a practical and sincere way to move forward.

Having watched my fathers eyesight deteriorate and
What made the experience of listening to Eyes Wide Open the most enjoyable?
It gave me a positive insight (excuse the pun) into RP as I grew up witnessing the deteriorating sight of my then "dad". He became an angry aggressive "father" as his pride took over his sight.
Isaacs honesty, funny moments and true depth from his soul to realise that instinct and all his other senses would give him more sight than any of us bother to notice at times.
I have become more aware of using other senses and tuning into them daily to replace actual sight with heart sight , wonderful ❤️❤️❤️
Who was your favorite character and why?
Isaac of course ! He's clearly overcome depth of sadness and bridged his sight loss into using every part of his journey through life and mind to enhance all of his other senses: hearing, touch, smell, taste... he reminds us the importance of using our Hearts to really see.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Poker playing and security escort - hilariously kind of the judge!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Heart ❤️ sight
Listen to believe it!
.....phenomenal....
Any additional comments?
I highly recommend listening to this book on Audio - it makes you appreciate when you close your eyes to everything else, just listen to what this blind man can truly see.

you lost me at the swot test
isaac's story is incredibly inspiring, the book had me really excited about learning to notice limiting beliefs as I have worked on this with myself quite extensively and have noticed substantial growth in my life as a result. The book hints at detailing great techniques to identify "your backward swimming fish" but not enough time was spent on this for my liking. the book took a turn for a business based approach to improving your life and Thats where I lost interest unfortunately, business minded people May have a different view but the book ended as an inspiring story with little that I found useful to implement in to my life. eckhart tolle, louise L hay, byron katie and gregg braden's currently have provided with some life changing techniques and perspectives, I was hoping to find something like this in isaac's book, and for me unfortunately this is where it fell short. a very inspiring story though.
