The story of Jose Silva - the mind behind The Silva Method
Is one of the world's greatest success stories. During his lifetime, Jose Silva was a businessman, athlete, artist, educator, scientist, philosopher, and the founder of The Silva Method.
After starting his business career at the tender age of six, this self-educated man would eventually work his way up and become a well-respected businessman, establish an electronics training school in his hometown Community College, design and receive patents for several biofeedback instruments, and write over a dozen books that would reach over two dozen countries.
He spent his entire lifetime developing his creative and intuitive abilities and teaching others to find their own abilities within themselves.
Silva spent over 20 years studying great minds, researching the human condition, and developing self-help programs before unveiling his findings. Silva's research findings - The Silva Method - first made its way to the public eye in 1966. Today his life's work is being presented in over 30 languages in 111 countries. Silva served as Chairman of the Board of The Silva Method up until 1999, when he passed away peacefully in his home.

"...without the other, we would not exist. Your soul is the reflection of all souls. Imagine trying to understand the complex web of personal interactions that have made you who you are today, all your family and friends, every teacher and classmate you've ever had, every shop clerk in every store you've ever visited, everyone you've ever worked or come in contact with at any point of your life..."
Deepak Chopra
The repeat courses and regular use of the tools eventually become second nature turning you into an empowered being :
suggested definition : when facing uncertainty or challenges, always focusing on a positive outcome, implementing solutions yet surrendering to whatever the outcome is, knowing that at times, destiny lies beyond our understanding and that in each challenge lies our chance of learning and growth.
