Leap of Perception: The Transforming Power of Your Attention

Penney Peirce. Atria/Beyond Words, $25 (352p) ISBN 978-1-58270-390-9

“What is the perception of the future? And how do we get there now?” Peirce (The Intuitive Way) focuses on these questions, less intent on how people might view the future and more concerned with exploring how people will use perceptual processes in an evolving world. This final book in Peirce’s transformation trilogy is a timely model for intuition development in accelerated times. She offers a coherent and practical guide to understanding and navigating the stages, symptoms, and processes of transforming perception so that people come to understand “how everything is made of consciousness-and-energy, how everything vibrates at varying frequencies, and how the physical and non-physical worlds are really one unified field.” To transform your perceptual process is simply to make it more conscious, she argues—and this is as easy as focusing attention differently, a process the author clearly lays out. Peirce satisfyingly distills a complex subject into approachable reading, providing numerous “Try This!” exercises that allow the reader to absorb the book’s content through both left- and right-brain knowing.
