Deborah Lee Luskin said… - Joan, the Power of Deliberate Thinking is a life-saver - one of those flotation devices thrown to someone in peril of drowning. I've sent links to two of my daughters who are writing college theses this coming term, and I'm wondering how to apply the principles to other professions. For instance, how would it apply to my overworked physician husband?
