Around the turn of the Century (2000, that is), I was entering a new stage in my life. I was looking for a better, more satisfying way of living and searching for ways to make a positive impact. My son Gregg introduced me to an amazing person and very successful psychologist, Dr. Kathy Cramer. Kathy had been developing and practicing Asset-Based Thinking for over 20 years. She in turn was searching for a new way to creatively bring ABT to life. We had an instant connection, decided to collaborate on a book and off we went. Our first book, Change The Way You See Everything was born. "Positive psychology meets Madison Avenue." Asset-Based Thinking can change the way you perceive yourself and your ability to change the world around you. You can actually direct and shape the future you desire. With Asset-Based Thinking you will never look at the world the same way again. Get ready for a life changing adventure.
