Clear Message Press is pleased to announce that See the World Through Patterns is now available for purchase!
Readers of this book by Dr. Bob Barkman learn from a variety of stories and exercises designed to engage readers with what patterns are, how diverse they are, and what we can discover from them. Because we all are pattern smart in different ways, the book describes how readers can recognize this skill in themselves and learn to see patterns that may have gone unnoticed with the unaided eye.
Seeing patterns changes the way we see, think, and succeed by becoming alert to our brain’s abilities to recognize patterns. It challenges the idea that discovery is accidental. Far more common is that discovery is inspired by a pattern that piqued the curiosity of someone; often that pattern was overlooked by others. When we see a pattern, we want to explain why it occurs that way. It advances the idea that genius is seeing patterns where others see only chaos. Because we are all pattern smart in different ways, the book guides readers to self-discover how they are pattern smart.

Computer engineer and cofounder of Intel, the late Gordon Moore, noticed that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits doubled every year since their invention. Moore predicted that this trend, now coined Moore’s Law, would continue into the foreseeable future. In my interview with him, even he was surprised that Moore’s Law, now more than 50 years old, continues today.
