Listen "Prologue: Perestroika (The Origin Story of Brain Power) "
Episode Synopsis
"You do not have a future here." Those words, uttered by a friend in 1971, would not only change the life of mathematician Reuven Rashkovsky but, ultimately, the lives - and minds - of thousands of children. Through his struggles dealing with the oppression and anti-Semitism of communist Russia, Reuven developed a way of looking at problems big and small that led to his academic success, and his freedom. What he learned along the way would become the foundation of the enrichment program he created that has taught kids new ways to think, to approach problems, and to adapt to this ever-changing world. In subsequent episodes, you'll hear from the big thinkers to whom Reuven passed the Brain Power torch, who have been inspired by genius in many forms, and have found various ways to teach their students how to Think Like a Genius.
