Excerpts from the New Option Generator Paraliminal booklet:

Often it is a person's direct efforts to solve a problem that create the most problems. Trying harder to resolve it never works.

New Option Generator takes the lateral-thinking approach to deal with paradoxical problems. Such an indirect approach helps you resolve the manner in which you approach the problem. The two parts of New Option Generator allow you to attain a solution without ever addressing the problem directly.

The first step is getting your mind off the fears and obstacles, which you perform during New Option Generator-A....

The second step is getting your mind to wrap around the goal you have chosen. That is the purpose of New Option Generator-B.
