Review

Tom writes beautifully and captures the magic of light bulb moments. He teaches us how to create light bulb moments and not just hope they happen. Your initial idea is just the beginning of the journey so read the book and let the adventure begin. (Bev James, CEO of the James Caan Entrepreneurs Business Academy) Tom Evans shows how everyone in a team can be encouraged to have light bulb moments which can be used throughout the entire product life cycle. (Mike Southon, Financial Times columnist and best-selling business author)

Tom Evans

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Tom is an ex-BBC television engineer turned author.

In his mid-40s, he wrote a book by accident and, before he knew it, became and author's mentor specialising in clearing writer's blocks and teaching writers how to tap into unlimited creativity.

He has now morphed into an internationally renowned meditation guide on the back of the meditations that accompanied his books.

In this new decade, Töm Evans, the author of fiction is emerging, augmented by ambient music inspired by his books.

His writing is aimed at exploring what makes us creative (and what stops it). As a result, his area of research has taken him down the route of researching the esoteric and other worldly as well as cutting edge scientific thinking and research.

His aim is to take the esoteric (the occult, obscure and hidden), to demystify it and make it exoteric (known and understood). He is an engaging speaker and works both 1-2-1 with authors and in group workshop.

Tom comes with a big caveat - people who read his books find all sorts of magic starting to emerge in their lives.

    You will love this book from the very first exercise you try. Tom Evans not only gives you ways to challenge your current perspective on your writing and spark new ideas in your imagination (but he does do that too), no, he also explains how our brains work and why certain exercises will help you to write without restriction. After I tried the first exercise, I had my entire plot worked out for MY ZOMBIE DOG. I have all of Evans' books and will be working my way through!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Super-Food for Thought
    Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2011
    Format: Paperback
    I've read, interviewed and met many personal development teachers and gurus over the last 20 years. Few, if any, attain the ease of communication Tom has, and furthermore, I know of no one who bridges the potent gap between 'normal' and 'spiritual' like he does.
    This book, his latest way of helping us to know ourselves better, should be required reading in any school, business or public service organisation that wants to be part of a new, evolved and creative world.
    When Tom writes, you receive the wisdom of the extraordinary realms he speaks of. When you read Tom, you learn how to access those realms.
    Given that form follows thought, this book is an instruction manual for a fulfilling future - for individuals, organisations, communities and the planet alike...

    4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting info on how to have more Light Bulb Moments + make money from them!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2011
    Format: Paperback
    'The Art and Science of Light Bulb Moments' by Tom Evans is an interesting self development and self help book that delves into some of the more curious areas of human capabilities.

    The Art and Science of Light Bulb Moments - IN A NUTSHELL

    Tom Evans says his book is about "how to have light bulb moments on demand and how to make them bring real world results for your benefit and for the benefit of others." He adds that he wrote this book for "inventors, scientists, teachers, businesses, students and anyone who wants to have a bright idea to change their world and indeed the world itself."

    Light bulb moments are often associated with 'mad scientists'. You probably have already had light bulb moments but never quite understood what they meant. Tom shows that anyone can have them. Even more importantly, anyone can harness them, using them as personal development tools to take their life into new directions!

    The Art and Science of Light Bulb Moments - REVIEW

    Tom Evans is a trained electronic engineer so it is interesting to read his slant on subjects that some consider 'airy fairy'. Also, some readers may feel that the content is just commonsense or from other quarters, e.g., Walt Disney's Three Rooms, Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats, Myers Briggs profiles, Tony Buzan's Mind Maps, etc. However, Tom does state that he has "borrowed extensively" from others. What is interesting is how he brings together tools like these to create new models.

    The text within some of the diagrams is a bit grainy but there is interesting data sprinkled throughout from fields including physics, chemistry, biology, neurology, psychology and history, e.g., "Our brains constitute only 5% of our body mass yet they consume 20% to 25% of our energy."

    He also makes statements that do make you stop and think such as:

    * ...thoughts don't become things, they are things.
    * ...nobody but you has control over what you think or do.
    * ...when you experience one (a light bulb moment), it changes your body chemistry.
    * The light bulb moment seems to come along just when you need it - or the planet needs it.

    The chapter on 'Ordering Your Dreams' was particularly useful. Tom begins "What better way to be more productive than by using the third of your life when you are sleeping to be creative?" He explains how to 'seed' your dreams to get insight on certain issues and how to 'use' your dreams to achieve more creativity. You will be intrigued to read about his vision for super-sensitive pencils!

    He also covers:

    * The benefits of journals or diaries
    * The assets of Whole Brain Thinking
    * How pain (physical or mental) stops creativity
    * How to generate light bulb moments on demand
    * The effect of breathing through alternate nostrils
    * How Superconsciousness, Religion and Physics connect
    * Why hand-drawing Mind Maps is better for your creative flow
    * How to manage your ego to give space for light bulb moments
    * How you can use Moon phase to optimise creativity and innovation
    * What to do with your light bulb moment - going from vision to reality
    * Why the last 10% of your project can take 90% of time and resources
    * How thoughts come in flavours and how to choose which to experience
    * The importance of generating light bulb moments throughout teams and businesses
    * How to break down the complexities of making money from your light bulb moments

    The Art and Science of Light Bulb Moments - WARNING

    Warning - you do need an open mind to fully appreciate this personal development and self help book. As I said in my review of another of Tom's books (BLOCKS) there is much depth behind his text and you need an open mind to acquire the full power of these books.

    Tom covers material that even he says "might sound fantastical." He adds "The concepts in this book as so ethereal and intangible in nature, you cannot use your logical mind to decide if they are right or wrong for you - or not." You can definitely use this book to help you on your self development journey. The key is to try things out for yourself and see what results you get.

    The Art and Science of Light Bulb Moments - SUMMARY

    This self development and self help book will give you a better understanding of light bulb moments and how you can use them to your benefit.

    Unlikely some of the other books by Tom Evans I did not read this as quickly. It is totally enjoyable and readable but have definitely found this has led of in different directions and I have put it down to follow a light bulb moment or two or three since reading. It's a guide book for the mind - to take into your world. Enjoy reading and discovering new things.

    As I sit in my armchair with my leg elevated above heart, i am reading the Art & Science of Light Bulb moments. Tom speaks my language, the book is inspiring, exciting, plus the amazing visualisations. It is helping my recovery, making me smile. When movement is no longer natural or automatic, it keeps you focused in the now. I am being inspired by the book, and healed by the visualisations moment by moment. What a gift when life changes on the flip of a coin. I recommend all of Tom's books.

    I love this book - Tom Evan's angle seems entirely fresh and new to me and quite fascinating. I haven't had a lightbulb moment yet but it's early days and I am trying to incorporate his ideas methodically into my life. I also have his other book "Flavours of Thought" which is also amazing. Check out his website which is well worth a look. I think TE could be a modern magician!
