The power of positive thinking in connection with goals is the greatest concept not overtly taught to young people. Thoughts to Inspire: Daily Messages for Young People contains a collection of passages designed to remedy this problem.

School leaders and family members should associate themselves with positive thinking and stimulate positive morale, successful school involvement and higher attendance. The encouragement of young people to determine and reach their goals will be felt and remembered.

Reviews

When I treated patients for depression I often tried to get them to start each day reading wisdom and inspiration instead of the news. When I work with executives in weeklong retreats I have them start each morning by sharing thoughts from wisdom literature with the group. Dr. Fiszer has provided this same opportunity for young people with his Thoughts to Inspire. This is a great companion to The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teenagers, or The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Families.

"Dr. Edward Fiszer is making a positive difference in our world with his Thoughts to Inspire! This is a great book. Students and others who hear his messages have an opportunity to learn from many great people they would not ordinarily encounter. Dr. Fiszer has gone the extra mile to provide motivation and inspiration. I highly recommend that you purchase an extra dozen of these books and give them to teachers, parents, and students."

"The carefully selected thought provoking quotes can be the positive twine that ties together students, parents and staff to create a respectful, responsible and safe school environment. I highly recommend every school incorporate Dr. Fiszer's book into daily routines to provide inspiration and encouragement."
