Richard Branson
Bipolar disordered Rebel Billionaire
; Founder & CEO of the multi-billion dollar Virgin empire, is bipolar disordered and dyslexic, but he found a way to make his bipolar disorder work for him ... that is, after he contemplated suicide. He realized he could struggled his whole life trying to "fit in" by suppressing his bipolar disorder. Instead he made a far more powerful choice and "broke-out" into fame, fortune & wild success. We'll tell you about that crucial choice he made in The DaVinci Method, that allowed him to discover the genius behind his bipolar disorder.

The human genome project now says that bipolar disorder is genetic. While only about 10% of the general population has this gene, most geniuses, entrepreneurs and artists have the gene that leads to bipolar disorder. This group includes most successful inventors, pioneers, self-made billionaires, rock stars, mysitcs and innovators.

How is that?
T
he bipolar disorder gene affects the brain's relationship with dopamine. This difference causes one to crave stimulation just to feel alive and makes one's moods unstable. When you crave stimulation you are more likely to seek thrills, take risks, discover new ways to do things, be bolder, and have more charisma. When you crash you may just want to curl up under a rock. The temperament that accompanies this genetic difference happens to be the same temperament that makes rock stars, inventors, artists and athletes, entrepreneurs, leaders and self-made billionaires successful, because
it gives them "manic" abilities that far surpass those of mere mortals.

According to Fortune Magazine people who fit the bipolar profile are 300% more likely to start their own company. The key to success when you have bipolar disorder is learning how to channel all that creative energy into taking intelligent risks, because people with bipolar disorder are brilliant risk takers.

But why does this bipolar disorder gene help a few people achieve brilliance and success, while leaving many others struggling with depression? We're going to show you ...

Introducing a Whole NEW
Approach to Bipolar Disorder

If you or your child has bipolar disorder
this is the book for you!

The DaVinci Method is designed to help people with bipolar disorder work the strengths and minimize the weaknesses associated with bipolar disorder. While other therapies try to force those with bipolar disorder to behave more like "normal" people, this therapy recognizes the genius behind bipolar disorder and helps you harness and balance it.

Why should someone with bipolar disorder struggle to be like a "normal" 9-to-5 office worker, when they are are genetically predisposed to be successful as entrepreneurs, leaders, inventors, pioneers, athletes and artists?

The DaVinci Method is over 260 pages of the most useful therapy ever designed for helping creative bipolar disorder-ers be more productive. bipolar disorder-ers don't need to learn how to sit still and focus on details, becuase hyperfocus is a natural asset of bipolar disorder when it's aroused. What bipolar disorder-ers need to learn is how to evoke and manage the passion that elicits hyperfocus.

If you or your child are gifted enough to have the bipolar gene, then all you need to do is learn how to work with it.

Don't waste another day being depressed or frustrated ...

<STYLE type=text/css> </STYLE>

Discover the Secret to
Bipolar Fulfiment & Success.

The genetic bipolar difference can make you brilliant �?given the right conditions �?or disordered �?given the more typical conditions of our society. If you or your child have the bipolar gene, then it's time to discover the special conditions that will unlock its brilliance. Once they know this secret then the "sky is the limit" for what someone with bipolar disorder can achieve.

The special conditions that unlock the genius behind bipolar disorder aren't encouraged or even taught in our society. Conditions that bring out the genius and brilliance of those with the activated bipolar gene are overwhelming and disturbing to the “normal�?(non bipolar) general population �?average people just don't have the energy and creativity to fuel this special approach to life �?but you do. And we're going to show you how to do it.

Are You or Your Child The Next Rebel Billionaire?

Richard Branson �?the rebel self-made billionaire of Virgin �?obviously has the bipolar gene. This gene makes him a risk taker, a thrill seeker, and a rebel, and even sometimes suicidal, but most of all it makes him a brilliant entrepreneur. This has helped him build an empire out of the Virgin brand. Do you have a similar opportunity?

Remember over 98% of all wildly successful entrepreneurs, rock stars, and artists have this bipolar disorder trait �?the only difference between all of them and you is that they intuitively know how to use the secret strengths that come with their bipolar genetics, and maybe you don't. �?That is, until now �?

Are You or Your Child the Next Great Artist or Inventor?

How does your bipolar disorder relate to the genius of Leonardo Da Vinci? Da Vinci �?arguably the greatest artist & inventor ever �?clearly had bipolar disorder, but he used his bipolar temperament to propel himself to greatness. You can too. How did he do it? The same way Walt Disney did it. Keep reading �?

Did you know that Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein were ridiculed by their grade-school teachers as “problem students�?because of their bipolar traits? What saved these men can save you too. What made them great can do the same for you.

Take the same journey from “disordered�?to greatness taken by Einstein, Edison and all the other great inventors and thought leaders who had the bipolar disorder gene, just like you.

Do You or Your Child Have the Potential to be a Great Leader or Rock Star?

What makes great leaders and rock stars is the ability to connect with people, the ability to constantly adapt in order to be the most relevant personality of the moment, and the ability to take people to new highs.

John Lennon, Jerry Garcia and Kurt Cobain all had the bipolar temperament. So does Bono, Mick Jagger, Billy Idol, Ozzy Ozborne, Cher, Prince, P-Diddy and just about every wildly successful rock and hip hop star on the planet.

But being a rock star isn't the only elite club of celebrities that virtually requires the bipolar trait to enter. Great politicians and charismatic leaders are part of another group of bipolar gene holders. This group includes John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Winston Churchill and Bill Clinton.

What's the difference between all of these people who have used their bipolar gene and temperament to succeed, and the rest who are disordered by it?

You'll find out when you read The DaVinci Method:

In The DaVinci Method you will learn:

  • How to set your bipolar mind free to access your genius.
  • The Habits of Rebel Billionaires �?Learn the habits the rebel billionaires use to make their bipolar work for them �?not against them. (These habits are not well known because they don't work for average people �?only those with the bipolar disorder gene have the non-linear thinking ability and the energetic capacity necessary to make these habits work for them.)
  • Why the bipolar gene can make someone afraid to succeed and how to eliminate that fear.
  • The difference between a bipolar brain's brainwave predisposition and other people's. Once you know how to use this information you'll be able to tap a level of genius very few people have access to.
  • How substances affect your mind differently than other people. What substances will help people with bipolar disorder and what substances will ruin them.
  • The 2 ways to handle impulses �?one will make you crazy �?the other will make you brilliant.
  • Why people with bipolar procrastinate �?how to understand it and how to work with it.
  • From bipolar disorder to prolific genius: How to release your bipolar mind to think the way Leonardo Da Vinci's did �?prolifically, without boundaries �?in brilliance.
  • The power of bipolar "mania" �?this gift can be harnessed to crush any challenge.
  • Why bipolar disorder often leads to compulsive behavior & addiction �?how to avoid addiction and how to heal it.
  • The mysterious “sixth sense�?that comes with the bipolar temperament and how to tap into it.

Think & Grow Rich
(Written especially for those with the bipolar gene.)

Many millionaires have credited their fortunes to the principles outlined in this book. Napoleon Hill set out to find a practical formula that people with the bipolar temperament (he had a different name for this) could use to generate wealth, happiness, and overall success.

He interviewed over 504 successful bipolar people including:

  • Henry Ford
  • Thomas Edison
  • Theodore Roosevelt
  • John D. Rockefeller
  • Dr. Alexander Graham Bell

"Whatever success I may have attained I owe, entirely, to the application of your 17 fundamental principles of the Law of Success. I believe I have the honor of being your first student."

~ W.M.. WRIGLEY, JR.
Founder of Wrigley's Chewing Gum

 

 

This Book will change your Life! , August 4, 1999
Reviewer: Laura Zane Aveton (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
I have read many self development books yet it was this book that made me finally understand how simple it really is. Success in all areas of your Life is not hard to attain at all-- that is of course, if you know the game and how to play it!

I can not stress enough the positive impact that you will see happen in your life and the people's lives around you when you read this book and apply the principles and affirmations. You will begin to see all your dreams start to come true right before your eyes and you'll find yourself saying, "I can't believe it was that simple..."

If you won't invest in The DaVinci Method for yourself, do it for your kids. Most bipolar children learn to not trust themselves, feel inferior, frustrated and have low self-esteem all because they were raised by parents and teachers who don't understand them and never witness to their brilliance. This book will teach you how to discover and encourage the inherent brilliance behind the bipolar in you or your child.

What did the mothers of Richard Branson & Thomas Edison do differently?

Find out in The DaVinci Method. I'll show you how to raise your children to build trust in their access to prolific genius, have high self-worth and love themselves enough to be wildly successful.

"You hit the nail on the head."

"Your book really hit close to home. After I read the sections on Will I had tears in my eyes. Your book really touched me. You hit the nail on the head."

~ Ray P. 130 I.Q. Mechanic from Virginia

"I just finished reading your book, The DaVinci Method, and I have to say, I felt like you were inside of me describing EVERYTHING about me. Wow!

I think there are a lot of people that should read your book.

Thank you for your amazing insight and research on this subject. It is refreshing to know that even though I am different, that doesn't mean it is a bad thing. I am excited with what I can do with this new information and I plan on reading your book again right away."

~ Jennie W.

"It's Incredible!"

"I love the book. It describes me right to the core. My wife is astounded. You guys did an awesome job. It blows me away how accurate The Davinci Method is."

~ Clint O.
Vancouver, WA

"The DaVinci Method saved me ... "

"The DaVinci Method is not only a method, it's an incredible journey to self discovery; a precious bridge to understanding the beauty in the God-given gifts that set you apart from all the rest.

Before reading The DaVinci Method, I believed, like most others, that bipolar was a negative label; that because I have it, I must be faulty. The DaVinci Method saved me from this destructive idealism; it taught me just how incorrect this perception of [bipolar disorder] really is.

The DaVinci Method is now my guide to the real me; to honing my special abilities and channeling into positive reality the most natural and wonderful gift I have---the gift of creativity.

Thanks to Garret LoPorto, I'm no longer "bipolar", I'm a "DaVinci" Now, that is something to be proud of."

~ Anita J.

The Game of Life (& How to Play It)

This book is one of my all time favorites. It's not a long book (only 84 pages) but it's QUALITY. The author is very in touch with how the unconscious mind works and how you can befriend this intelligence to make your life beautiful. The teachings in this book work quite well within the framework of The DaVinci Method. I thought you might enjoy it and benefit from it as much as I have, so I've gone out of my way to find a way to include a copy of this book with your purchase of The DaVinci Method - and here it is!

 

 

If you won't invest in The DaVinci Method for yourself, do it for your kids. Because the DaVinci temperament is genetic, chances are your kids have it if you do. Most DaVinci type children learn to not trust themselves, feel inferior, frustrated and have low self-esteem all because they were raised by parents and teachers who didn't understand them and never witnessed to their brilliance.

What did the mothers of Richard Branson & Thomas Edison do differently?

In this series you'll learn 5 secrets to help you or your child:
- minimize depression

- overcome the negative effects of bipolar disorder
- enhance the positive/creative side of being bipolar
- become happy, effective and satisfied

Secret #1:

The key to focus for the bipolar individual is passion. When something is truly interesting and "on purpose" for people with bipolar disorder, it evokes their passion which in turn triggers the legendary bipolar hypomania.
 
Hypomania is actually a very powerful asset that has helped some of the world's most successful people acheive their success. Hypomania allows one to solve difficult problems easily and it maximizes the energy available for the task at hand. The DaVinci Method book To learn more about how to cultivate and harness the power of hypomania, read "The Power of Hyper-focus" in The DaVinci Method. You can get your copy of the book here:
http://www.DaVinciMethod.com

Secret #2:

Stress has been shown to trigger bipolar episodes. Morning exercise minimizes stress and throughout the day. If you want someone with bipolar disorder to be calmer throughout the day, make sure that they get plenty of exercise in the morning. People who are bipolar can have greater than average energy systems and so they NEED more exercise than others.

The best way to help someone with bipolar cope with a low energy environment like a classroom or office is to give them a high energy outlet earlier in the day. After a vigorous workout, they will be much calmer and they can achieve a sustained and gentle focus and more manageable moods.

To learn more about how certain kinds of exercise and activity can help people with bipolar disorder thrive, read the chapter called "The DaVinci Method Daily Regime" in The DaVinci Method.


Ted Turner, Winston Churchill, Jane Pauley, Theodore Roosevelt and many other successful personalities, innovators and entrepreneurs are (or were) bipolar and have (or had) DaVinci type personalities.
 
The good news is, if you're bipolar then chances are you're a DaVinci, and you have what it takes to be incredibly successful "astronomically�?/U> not just moderately successful as in,  "You're a lawyer," but astronomically success as in "You're a legend." 

The bad news is that our society doesn't teach people how to play to the strengths of the DaVinci mindset, because only 1 in 10 people have the DaVinci temperament.  Instead, schools teach almost exclusively for non-DaVinci types - how to sit still, follow directions and compete for grades by conforming to teacher expectations.  That is NOT how DaVinci types succeed; ask any successful entrepreneur!
The DaVinci Method book

If you want to learn how to unlock the genius behind your DaVinci type personality and quite possibly join the ranks of the world's most successful people, then check out this radical new book, The DaVinci Method.


Welcome, my friend, to the DaVinci Times.
Bipolar Secrets #'s 3, 4 and 5 will arrive in your inbox in the coming days.
