About the Book
You are the voice of genius. What is Genius? Dr. King Answers this perplexing in The Voice of Genius is Soft. Contrary to
popula belief, genius is not unbounded intellectualism measured solely by a
soaring IQ score. Rather, it is a quietly shining gem that lies within each and
every one of us, and which will only shine brighter if we honor the genius in
others. Dr. King did so throughout his life, and does so in this book. In The Voice of Genius is Soft, Dr. King
offers to humanity the precious gifts of himself, his experience and invaluable
wisdom, and imparts the dear message that one should never let go of the Truth
of Genius.
Wife, Simone King, introduces the reader to her late
husband. She gives impressive and beautiful descriptions of her husbands’s
life. This information intrigues the reader enough to want to lean more about
her remarkable husband.
Author brings his audience so close to himself that
readers will be saddened when reading the final pages of his life.
About the Author
Reader’s Digest used to have a monthly article about
the most unforgetable person ever met. For me, Peter King was the one. Peter
was a brilliant man, a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst (teacher and
practitioner), a remarkably innovative thinker and philosopher, a superb
athlete, a wonderful parent for his children and a profound parentfigure for
his patients. His message was compatible with the human potentials movement
with its emphasis on self-actualization, and included a subtle and gracious
spirituality. He lived and taught the mind-body relatioship by exercising,
always exercising, the mind (brutally honest self-examination) and body
(marathons, triathlons,et a!). I have become utterly convinced that in terms of
a concise life-message and instructions for self- fulfillment. I hope that
readers will get a sense of scope of the man, the range of his interests, and
the fascinating and important ideas he shares with us all.
