The \"modular\" quality of the methods allows you to mix and match techniques as you will, stimulating the reader's creativity. What Phedon does is accessing not only thoughts, but the way of thoughts. He teaches how to take seeming intangibles, like the ways people think, and sculpt them as if they existed in the realm of objects. Similarly, he manipulates and applies emotions, so they function almost as if they are sleights.Finally, he unveils his groundbreaking ways of taking minimal information and spinning it into a revelation that rivals the finest presentations along these lines extant. What Phedon extracts from a name or a word is beyond anything else that I am familiar with.
